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 PE curriculum. This book is the first text in PE to address this significant new dimension to the subject, providing examples of how the concepts can translate into teaching and learning practices. |

Topics covered include:
The authors are teachers, teacher educators, policymakers and academics. Each shares a commitment to the notion that school students can do more than learn to move in physical education classes. |
