In this powerfully argued and progressive study, Kimberly Oliver
and David Kirk call for a radical reconstruction of the teaching of
physical education for girls. Despite forty years of theorization
and practical intervention, girls are still disengaging from
physical education, dropping out of physical activity, and
suffering negative consequences in terms of their health and
well-being as a result. This book challenges the conventional
narrative that girls are somehow to blame for this disengagement,
and instead identifies important new ways of working with girls,
developing a new pedagogical model for 'girl-friendly' physical
education. The book locates our understanding of the experiences of
girls in physical education in the broader context of young
people's multifaceted engagements with popular physical culture.
Adopting an activist perspective, it outlines a programme of action
informed by principled pragmatism and based on four critical
elements: student-centred pedagogy; critical study of embodiment;
inquiry-based physical education centred-in-action, and listening
and responding to girls over time. It explores the implications of
this new thinking for teaching, research, PETE and policy, and
outlines a future agenda for work in this area. Offering a profound
theoretical critique of contemporary research and practice, as well
as a new programme of action, Girls, Gender and Physical Education
is essential reading for all researchers, advanced students and
practitioners with an interest in the issues of gender, equity and
inclusion in physical education.
