This book offers an ecological conceptualisation of physical
literacy. Re-embracing our ancestry as hunter gatherers we gain a
new appreciation and understanding of the importance of play, not
only in terms of how children learn, but also in showing us as
educators how we can lay the foundations for lifelong physical
activity. The concept of physical literacy has been recognised and
understood throughout history by different communities across the
globe. Today, as governments grapple with the multiple challenges
of urban life in the 21st century, we can learn from our forebears
how to put play at the centre of children's learning in order to
build a more enduring physically active society. This book examines
contemporary pedagogical approaches, such as constraints-led
teaching, nonlinear pedagogy and the athletic skills model, which
are underpinned by the theoretical framework of Ecological
Dynamics. It is suggested that through careful design, these
models, aimed at children, as well as young athletes, can (i)
encourage play and facilitate physical activity and motor learning
in children of different ages, providing them with the foundational
skills needed for leading active lives; and (ii), develop young
athletes in elite sports programmes in an ethical, enriching and
supportive manner. Through this text, scientists, academics and
practitioners in the sub-disciplines of motor learning and motor
development, physical education, sports pedagogy and physical
activity and exercise domains will better understand how to design
programmes that encourage play and thereby develop the movement
skills, self-regulating capacities, motivation and proficiency of
people, so that they can move skilfully, effectively and
efficiently while negotiating changes throughout the human
lifespan.
