Philosophy of Physical Activity Education (Including Educational
Sport) is designed to help you develop an early philosophic
perspective of physical activity education, including educational
sport. In the process you will also come to understand selected
aspects of the field's historical background as a developing
academic field and discipline. The field is called sport and
physical education in the United States currently.
However, as we move along in the 21st century, it is still
designated as physical and health education in Canada. The term
used most often to name the field worldwide is physical education
and sport. Despite its obvious importance, there has been a gradual
decline of physical activity education philosophy, including
educational sport, within the professional curricula of physical
activity educators and coaches. This appears to have taken place
since the adoption in the 1970s of an almost pure analytic
philosophical approach to the detriment of almost any applied
philosophic endeavor.
As you develop an understanding about your chosen life work,
the author hopes that you, as a prospective professional educator,
will be stimulated to examine yourself and your beliefs more
carefully than ever before. If you will do this conscientiously,
the result will be an under-girding personal philosophy that is
sound, consistent, and logical.
