| Summary |
In recent years there has been an increased emphasis within the pedagogy literature on developing the skills of critical analysis, reflection, and problem solving among students. This change is reflected in the latest physical education guidelines in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, where critical inquiry and problem solving now feature in the Physical Education curriculum. This book is the first text in Physical Education to address this significant new dimension to the subject, providing examples of how the concepts can translate into teaching and learning practices |
