Teaching Physical Education
by
This book assesses the landscape of physical education today and the issues that shape it as a curriculum subject, particularly in the era of COVID-19. It explores the processes of transformation and change that follow government policy and considers what this means for physical education practitioners in schools. The book covers a wide range of important issues, across (micro-)political, social-cultural, historical and post-modernist categories. Bringing together current research with autobiographical and anecdotal reflections on the realities of PE teaching, it considers the significance of issues such as the emphasis on competitive sport in schools, the socialization of teachers, the influence of politics and policy on the classroom, colonization and decolonization of the curriculum, digital technologies, the health and well-being agenda and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Offering a unique set of critical perspectives on physical education today, this book is essential reading for any physical education course, for all teacher training programmes with a PE track and for all practising teachers, teacher educators or policy-makers with a professional interest in PE.

This book addresses the latest developments in research on motivational processes in the context of physical education and proposes successful strategies that have been scientifically proven to be effective.

These strategies are based on various frameworks, including the circumplex model, motivational climates, motivational teaching behaviors adapted to physical education, web-based interventions, novelty-support strategies, the use of feedback and the application of model-based practice. This book is useful to researchers and postgraduate students in the field of motivation and physical education, and physical education teachers.
