Diversity, Difference and Social Justice in Physical Education - Challenges and Strategies in a Translocated World: Bonnie... Diversity, Difference and Social Justice in Physical Education - Challenges and Strategies in a Translocated World
Bonnie Pang, Tony Rossi
R1,275 Discovery Miles 12 750 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book presents a detailed analysis of the experiences of (minority ethnic) physical education (PE) teachers in both schools and higher education contexts. It examines and questions the lack of ethnic diversity in PE teacher education in high-income developed countries and suggests important new directions for transformative pedagogy to address the ‘whiteness’ of PE. The book draws on auto-ethnographical research conducted in Sydney, Australia—one of the world’s most culturally diverse cities—and in cities of the United Kingdom. The study is rooted in the concept of ‘trans-locality’, the networks that extend beyond the immediate community. It explores the challenges faced by PE teachers in culturally diverse workplaces, and the interconnections between place, institutions, and the parallel processes of mobility and globalisation. To understand and theorise the myriad of interactions and practice around diversity, differences, and social justice among lecturers, teachers, and students across the two locations, the book offers an emerging area of scholarship that focuses on a trans-local perspective in diversity and inclusion in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE). Diversity, Difference and Social Justice in Physical Education will be of significance to those who manage, teach, and research issues associated with diversity and advocate for diversifying the teaching workforce in PETE.

Teachers as Health Workers - A Critical Understanding of the Health-Education Interface (Hardcover): Louise McCuaig, Eimear... Teachers as Health Workers - A Critical Understanding of the Health-Education Interface (Hardcover)
Louise McCuaig, Eimear Enright, Tony Rossi, Doune Macdonald
R4,150 Discovery Miles 41 500 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Schooling has long been held responsible for the health and well-being of children. However, against an international background of rising concern about students' performance and well-being, schools and teachers have faced escalating expectations of their health-related work. While various stakeholders have ideas about what teachers' health work entails, we know little about teachers' contributions, engagement and personal satisfaction with this work. As teachers' work represents a significant national investment, insight into the cost-benefit of teachers' health work is vital to establishing the broader economic contribution of schools to society. Teachers as Health Workers offers a critical perspective on these matters, documenting the day-to-day work of Australian teachers as they grapple with the challenges, and joys, of balancing education and health-related responsibilities. Whilst shifts in policy, economics and globalisation influence localised enactment of teachers' health work, the economic modelling, theorising and methodological innovations of this research address enduring themes and challenges. Consequently, this book's critical perspective reveals policy-practice gaps in government strategies seeking to create a healthy and productive population. The book will inform education, health and industrial policies and provide direction for teachers' initial or ongoing preparation as health workers.

R1,403 Discovery Miles 14 030 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Pre-service and beginning teachers have to negotiate an unfamiliar and often challenging working environment, in both teaching spaces and staff spaces. Workplace Learning in Physical Education explores the workplace of teaching as a site of professional learning. Using stories and narratives from the experiences of pre-service and beginning teachers, the book takes a closer look at how professional knowledge is developed by investigating the notions of 'professional' and 'workplace learning' by drawing on data from a five year project. The book also critically examines the literature associated with, and the rhetoric that surrounds 'the practicum', 'fieldwork' 'school experience' and the 'induction year'. The book is structured around five significant dimensions of workplace learning: Social tasks of teaching and learning to teach Performance, practice and praxis Identity, subjectivities and the profession/al Space and place for, and of, learning Micropolitics As well as identifying important implications for policy, practice and research methodology in physical education and teacher education, the book also shows how research can be a powerful medium for the communication of good practice.

Political Intrigue (Paperback): Tony Rossi Political Intrigue (Paperback)
Tony Rossi
R381 Discovery Miles 3 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Political intrigue is an exciting new novel, it is a definite must have book. The story begins in the White House. A prominent political dissident from China informs the U.S President that while he was being detained as a political prisoner, the Chinese authorities had brutally tortured him. The American President immediately realizes that if the world was told about this horrible torture that had taken place that the good relations between the democratic world and Communist China would be ruined. While all of this is happening, the international community is suddenly thrown in to a state of mass confusion when radical terrorists threaten to use weapons of mass destruction upon the nation of Israel. These dangerous terrorists successfully manage to kidnap an important nuclear scientist and they force him to build military weapons for them. There is great action and excitement on every page.
