Learning To Teach Physical Education In The Secondary School (learning To Teach Subjects In The Secondary School)

LEARNING TO TEACH PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL There are many teaching skills and issues covered in initial teacher education which student PE teachers must apply to their own subject. However, the complexity of teaching PE can make this difficult to do. This book focuses, therefore, on the requirements of student PE teachers in relation to teaching skills and issues covered in initial teacher education courses. Throughout` the book the theory underpinning those skills and issues is interlinked with tasks which can be undertaken alone, with another student teacher or with a tutor. The book is designed to help student PE teachers to develop teaching skills, knowledge and understanding of the wider context of PE, along with the ability to reflect critically and to develop professional judgement. Susan Capel is Director of the Academic Standards Unit and a Principal Lecturer in the Department of Sport Science at Canterbury Christ Church College.
