Research Impact: This is the introductory piece for the first Special Issue of the Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, which includes research articles written in Spanish language. The authors acted as Guest Editors. This special series advocates for an international, collaborative, and inclusive research community in physical education and sport pedagogy, emphasizing the need for diverse voices and interdisciplinary approaches to enhance global understanding. Including contributions from non-English-speaking regions and countries, depicts and enriches the field by bringing in varied cultural insights, pedagogical practices, and socially relevant perspectives. These diverse viewpoints foster culturally sensitive methodologies, support equity, and address underrepresented communities’ needs to provide an in-depth reflection of the realities of today, which physical education and sport pedagogy academia should aspire to accomplish in a near future.
