`For any student of physical education, Physical Education provides an
excellent springboard from which to explore theoretical aspects of
their subject. The list of authors reads like a who′s who of PE and
the extensive list of references provides opportunities to investigate
areas of interest in more depth′ - John Matthews, Chief Executive
PEA UK ′Distinguished authors who provide critical analyses of key
contemporary issues in physical education: a core text…. Required
reading for anybody seeking insight into the key issues of the day in
physical education′ - Dr Dick Fisher, Vice Principal of St. Mary′s
University College and Honorary President of the European Physical
Education Associations Aimed at students of physical education and
sport in schools, this book consists of a collection of essential
readings, covering a breadth of salient and enduring themes, as well
as contemporary issues. Many of the authors are distinguished figures
who have, over the last two decades, made substantial and distinctive
contributions to our understanding of the process of physical
education. Themes explored include: the nature and values of physical
education; the relationship between the subject and physical activity
and health; the growth of examinations in physical education and
innovations and developments in teaching styles and formats. The study
of physical education has increasingly become multi-disciplinary and
inter-disciplinary and the book reflects this, incorporating
philosophical, sociological, pedagogical and comparative perspectives.
This book will give readers, both in the UK and internationally, and
at all levels of education, a greater understanding of the subject.
