Contemporary Issues in Physical Education

Through a collection of chapters addressing contemporary topics and themes, which have international resonance, the book contributes to current physical education debate and provides a basis for comparative and cross-cultural and national reflections. The content encompasses central issues in physical education variously linked with pedagogy, didactics, inclusion, multi-culturalism, policy, institutional structural harmonisation, including qualification frameworks, multi- and cross-disciplinary curriculum developments, personal and professional competences, and career cultures and frames. Thus, it forms a compendium of multi-disciplinary as well as inter- and subdisciplinary perspectives in national and international contexts. The book is aimed at under- and post-graduate students following academic and professional programs in physical education and related areas such as physical activity, health and exercise science, professionals and academics in further and higher education institutions, sport pedagogues and other vested-interest professionals and scholars.
