Redesigning Physical Education is a bold and innovative manifesto for
the fundamental redesign of physical education for the
twenty-first-century world. Aiming at better outcomes for children,
better working conditions for teachers, and innovative solutions to
the decline of school PE, it calls for a transnational collective
action project based on new research frameworks, stressing the
fundamental importance of health-enhancing, life-enriching active
participation for all children and young people. Action-oriented and
evidence-based, the book examines the key challenges driving change,
including the equity agenda, institutionalization, outcome and
accountability based teaching, and physical activity requirements in
schools. With a truly international scope, the text explores
perspectives from the USA, Canada, Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland,
New Zealand, Australia, and Italy. This is important reading for
students and academics studying and working in physical education,
kinesiology, public health, and children’s physical activity. It is
also a valuable resource for pediatric exercise specialists,
especially sport and exercise psychologists.
