Case Studies in Physical Education, Revised Edition, applies the
case study method to the field of physical education, where it is
an effective means for future teachers to explore challenging
scenarios that they are likely to encounter in their careers. These
engaging, reader-friendly case studies provide readers with
concrete suggestions for connecting classroom theory with what
actually happens in school. Theories and concepts concerning
educational philosophy, methodology, curriculum, discipline, and
assessment become more meaningful when explored in a case scenario
in which the central characters confront situations that develop as
a consequence of their or others' pedagogical choices. The cases in
this book also promote critical-thinking and problem-solving
skills. Each case is followed by questions that prompt readers to
analyze the situation, formulate a plan of action to address the
problem, and anticipate and evaluate the potential consequences of
the plan's implementation. In small groups, individually, or as a
whole class, readers can explore and debate their strategies for
addressing the issues. Readers will learn there is no one right
answer to situations that can occur in the education environment.
They will develop their communication skills as they learn to
articulate and defend a plan of action to address the situation,
and they will also learn the importance of collaborating with
colleagues as they listen to and learn from the ideas of others.
These cases were prepared by 36 experienced physical educators
(from the elementary, secondary, and university levels)who
collaborated in teams to create cases based on their collective,
real-life experiences. As a result, the cases take place in a
variety of contexts: in elementary, middle, and high schools; in
urban, suburban, rural schools; and in wealthy and needy districts.
They present a variety of issues encountered in schools today,
including issues related to teaching methods, classroom management,
multicultural education, classroom assessment, inclusion, relations
with co-workers, marginalization of physical education, and gender
equity. As in real life, each case raises a number of related
issues that stimulate further discussion or provide opportunities
for assignments. This revised edition contains the same proven,
effective case studies as in the first edition while incorporating
minor updating throughout to reflect changes in technology and
society since its original publication.
