Understanding Primary Physical Education

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In order to become a more effective practitioner every teacher needs to have a sound understanding of the theoretical, social and historical context in which their work takes place. Understanding Primary Physical Education goes further than any other textbook in exploring the development of physical education teaching at the primary and elementary level, drawing together important research from across the educational and sociological literature. It encourages students, trainee teachers and researchers to develop a critical understanding of policy, process and practice in primary physical education, challenging casual assumptions and encouraging a better, more thoughtful teaching practice.
