Digital Technologies and Learning in Physical Education
Author: Ashley CaseyPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317366298
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
There is evidence of considerable growth in the availability and use of digital technologies in physical education. Yet, we have scant knowledge about how technologies are being used by teachers, and whether or how these technologies are optimising student learning. This book makes a novel contribution by focusing on the ways in which teachers and teacher educators are attempting to use digital technologies in PE. The book has been created using the innovative ‘pedagogical cases’ framework. Each case centres on a narrative, written by a PE practitioner, explaining how and why technology is used in their practice to advance and accelerate learning. Each practitioner narrative is then analysed by a team of experts from different disciplines. The aim is to offer a multi-dimensional understanding of the possibilities and challenges of supporting young people’s learning with digital technologies. Each case concludes with a practitioner reflection to illustrate the links between theory, research and practice. Digital Technologies and Learning in Physical Education encourages critical reflection on the use of technologies in PE. It is an essential resource for students on physical education, kinesiology or sport science courses, practitioners working in PE or youth sport, and researchers interested in digital technologies and education.

The Perceptions of Physical and Health Education Student Teachers about Inclusive Physical Education

Book Description
"Inclusive physical education (IPE) suggests students with disabilities (SwD) participate in general physical education with their peers, with any additional support needed. Previous international research found that physical and health education student teachers' (PHE-STs) beliefs on inclusion were influenced by their perceived competence, academic preparation and experience with people with disabilities, gender and academic year. The purpose of this study was to explore PHE-STs' perceptions about IPE in order to gain a novel understanding of IPE. The central research question of this study was: What do PHE-STs perceive about IPE during university teacher training? This qualitative case study consisted of semi-structured interviews with six female and three male fourth-year and recently graduated PHE-STs. Each interview was audio-recorded so data could be transcribed verbatim for a thematic analysis to be conducted. The following five themes emerged through the data analysis: "The physical and health education teacher education program (PHETE)", "Field experiences", "Experiences with people with disabilities", "Perceptions about students with disabilities", and "Perspectives about inclusive physical education". PHE-STs discussed the impact of their field experiences (FEs), the PHETE program, and their prior experiences with SwD outside of the PHETE program on their perceptions about inclusion. Some findings that were unique to this study included participants' experience with their co-operating teacher on their FEs, ability to identify SwD on their FEs, and use of teaching techniques when instructing SwD. This study adds to the research literature because the exploration of PHE-STs' lived experiences and perceptions about IPE helped to identify gaps in current IPE practices and develop new perspectives about IPE. Future research directions are provided at the conclusion of the thesis." --

Book Description
The study and application of service learning as a pedagogy has become widespread. Service-Learning in Physical Education and Other Related Professions: A Global Perspective demonstrates how faculty in physical education and other related professions have designed, implemented, assessed, and conducted action research involving service-learning as a teaching and learning method, both locally and globally, as a means of both serving the community and enriching the lives of their students. This text is broken down into three parts: •Part I provides a definition of service learning, examines the parameters that have been explored in physical education and higher education in general, and the integration of standards to ensure high-quality service-learning. •Part II focuses on the pedagogical frameworks in which service-learning thrives and explores how the model specifically meets national standards and best practices. It also explores the emerging role of research as a measurement tool of the effectiveness of service learning. •Part III explores a variety of programs from around the globe that utilize service-learning in their pedagogical framework, and provides the nuts and bolts of what they have done and their accomplishments.

Educating the Student Body

Book Description
Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
