Sociocultural Reproduction: Implications for Physical Education Teacher Education
International Journal of Physical Education, Sports and Health

Abstract
Sociocultural reproduction can be thought of as an unequal distribution of resources across classes from one generation to the next. Also, it can be mediated by the educational system. This phenomenon can be perpetuated by actions with social power while acting as oppressive for individuals based on gender, race, sexual orientation, or ability/ disability. Unfortunately, people in the education system including the school settings who are involved in reproducing social order typically do not understand the social sorting that school imparts on students. In addition, they participate in this process unconsciously. Physical education (PE) is also a potential setting where sociocultural reproduction can occur. The significant responsibility of physical education teacher education (PETE) programs is teaching this phenomenon to PE teacher candidates to decrease the likelihood of its continuance. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to describe sociocultural reproduction and to provide implications for PETE.
