Aimed at students of physical education and sport in schools,
this book consists of a collection of essential readings, covering
a breadth of salient and enduring themes, as well as contemporary
issues. Many of the authors are distinguished figures who have,
over the last two decades, made substantial and distinctive
contributions to our understanding of the process of physical
education.
Themes explored include: the nature and values of physical
education; the relationship between the subject and physical
activity and health; the growth of examinations in physical
education and innovations and developments in teaching styles and
formats. The study of physical education has increasingly become
multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary and the book reflects
this, incorporating philosophical, sociological, pedagogical and
comparative perspectives.
This book will give readers, both in the UK and internationally,
and at all levels of education, a greater understandingof the
subject.
