Issues in Physical Education

Issues in Physical Education encourages student teachers, NQTs and practising teachers to reflect on issues important to planning, teaching and evaluating physical education. In school-based initial teacher education, there is little time to focus on these issues and their impact on the design, delivery and evaluation of physical education programmes. This book is designed to redress this balance and encourages reflection and debate as an important part of professional development. The issues discussed include: breadth, balance and assessment in the physical education curriculum equality and the inclusion of pupils with different needs and from different cultural backgrounds in physical education progression and continuity in physical education between primary and secondary schools distinctions between sport and physical education and approaches to teaching games physical education, health and life-long participation in physical activity Issues in Physical Education is written by professionalCapel, W. is the author of 'Issues in Physical Education' with ISBN 9780415186896 and ISBN 0415186897.
