Appreciating the research conducted on Sport Education, we find the majority to favor a surface investigation relying on the six key characteristics of the model, stating the extent to which school teachers, pre-service teachers or physical education teacher education faculty members are delivering Sport Education properly if they execute the characteristics. The experiences of the first author and pre-service teachers conveyed that Sport Education is a complex curriculum and instructional model, encouraging further investigation of the theoretical implications of the model.
