Students and Social Justice Pedagogies in Physical Education (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers one of the first in-depth explorations of social justice pedagogies in physical education (PE) from a student perspective. Based on rich qualitative research, it highlights how school PE can support the physical, cognitive, emotional and social development of young people and contribute to building more socially cohesive and just societies.

Placing student perspectives at the heart of the analysis, this book challenges dominant practices in PE and explores how inclusive and equitable teaching can be developed in collaboration with students. It defines key terms such as 'inclusion', 'equity' and 'critical pedagogy' and provides practical guidance for creating meaningful learning environments that reflect these values. This book explores key themes including student interpretation of PE experience, the importance of care and relationships and the use of modified and non-traditional activities and spaces. It shows how PE can be transformed into a site of empowerment by centering the agency of young people.

This is invaluable reading for trainee and in-ervice teachers who want to create more inclusive and socially just pedagogical practices grounded in the lived experiences of students.
