Description:
This unique book examines the epistemological assumptions underlying
each of these pedagogical systems, and their successes and limitations as ways
of (re)producing knowledge related to physical activity, the body, and health.
It also considers how the pedagogical discourses and devices employed influence
the ways of thinking, practice, dispositions and identities of those who
work in the fields of sport, exercise and other human movement fields.
With a scope that includes physical education (PE), exercise and sports
science, sports sociology and cultural studies, kinesiology, health promotion,
human performance and dance, amongst other subjects, Pedagogy and
Human Movement is the most comprehensive study of pedagogical cultures
in human movement currently available. It is an invaluable resource for
anybody with an interest in HMS.
