Full Description
Improving Learning in Physical Education identifies some key challenges in physical education that impact on pupils' learning, looking at how they manifest over time and suggesting what teachers can do to address them.
Each chapter features a real-life case study to illustrate a specific challenge and identify some possible causes. It then draws on theory, research and evidence that might explain what is happening. The book highlights how teachers used theory, research and/or evidence to help address the challenge and maximise pupil learning. The challenges include:
reflection/reflective practice
the process of learning
progression and continuity in the curriculum
assessment
use of feedback
motivation
behaviour for learning
learning in the physical, cognitive and affective domains
inclusion, special education needs and disabilities
trauma informed pupils
participation in physical activity outside lessons
Many chapters are co-written by practising teachers and teacher educators and all include key takeaways and reflections, making this essential reading for all secondary physical education teachers.
