Examination Physical Education : Policy, Practice and Possibilities Paperback / softback
by Trent D. (Monash University, Australia) Brown, Dawn Penney
Part of the Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport series
Paperback / softback
Description
In recent decades physical education has moved from the margins, redefining itself as an academic subject.
An important component of this transformation has been the introduction of high-stakes examinations at key points in a student’s school career and the emergence of ‘examination physical education’ as the dominant paradigm in many educational systems around the world.
This book is the first to explore the growing international literature on examination physical education and draw on research to extend the political, academic and professional debates around the subject to explore its limitations and possibilities.
Addressing key topics such as curriculum development, assessment methods, and teacher education, it seeks to assess how our existing knowledge of examination physical education can be best translated into pedagogical practice in the classroom.
Complementing other texts in the Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport Series, it makes an original and informed contribution to current discussions of physical education. Examination Physical Education: Policy, Practice and Possibilities is important reading for any student, researcher or teacher educator with an interest in physical education, sports pedagogy and education policy.
