Mixed methods research techniques, combining both quantitative and qualitative elements, have become well established throughout the social, behavioural and natural sciences. This is the first book to focus on the application of mixed methods research in the movement sciences, specifically in sport, physical education and dance. Researchers and practitioners in each of these fields are concerned with the study of habitual behaviour in naturalistic contexts, and of the concurrent and sequential nature of events and states, precisely the kind of work that multi-method research design can help illuminate. The book is arranged into four sections. The first provides a thorough overview of mixed methods procedures and research design, and summarizes their applicability to the movement sciences. The remaining sections then offer detailed case studies of mixed methods research in team and individual sports (analyzing hidden patterns of play and optimising technique); kinesics and dance (analyzing motor skills behaviour in childhood, and the complexity of motor responses in dance); and physical education (detecting interaction patterns in group situations, and optimizing non-verbal communication by teachers and sports coaches). Mixed Methods Research in the Movement Sciences offers an important new tool for researchers and helps to close the gap between the analysis of expert performance and our understanding of the general principles of movement science. It is important reading for any student, researcher or professional with an interest in motor control, sport and dance pedagogy, coaching, performance analysis or decision-making in sport.

La nueva concepcion curricular de la actual Reforma del Sistema Educativo pone de relieve la necesidad de programar, de forma ordenada, la accion pedagogica y didactica propia del tercer nivel de concrecion. Y, en la realidad docente cotidiana, el profesional de cada area curricular ha de hacer frente, precisamente, a este tercer nivel de concrecion, para lo que requiere de buenos recursos, validos y eficaces, principalmente centrados en el establecimiento de Unidades Didacticas. La UNIDAD DIDCCTICA, entendida como vehiculo directo del proceso completo deensenanza-aprendizaje, es planteada a partir de la ordenacion y secuenciacion de los contenidos b"segundo nivel de concrecion-. Asi pues, las Unidades Didacticas presentadas en esta obra atienden al desarrollo de dos de los grandes bloques de contenidos establecidos para la Educacion Fisica en la Ensenanza Primaria: El cuerpo: imagen y percepcion y El cuerpo: expresion y comunicacion. Un equipo de rofesionales del area de Educacion Fisica ha disenado y puesto en practica tres Unidades Didacticas de 16 sesiones cada una, que se ofrecen, de forma certificada, al docente. Son Unidades Didacticas caracterizadas por una gran cantidad de informacion y un planteamiento abierto que permite al profesional adaptarlas a su particular situacion docente.
