Series: Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport

In recent decades physical education has moved from the margins, redefining itself as an academic subject. An important component of this transformation has been the introduction of high-stakes examinations at key points in a student’s school career and the emergence of ‘examination physical education’ as the dominant paradigm in many educational systems around the world.

This book is the first to explore the growing international literature on examination physical education and draw on research to extend the political, academic and professional debates around the subject to explore its limitations and possibilities. Addressing key topics such as curriculum development, assessment methods, and teacher education, it seeks to assess how our existing knowledge of examination physical education can be best translated into pedagogical practice in the classroom. Complementing other texts in the Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport Series, it makes an original and informed contribution to current discussions of physical education.

Examination Physical Education: Policy, Practice and Possibilities is important reading for any student, researcher or teacher educator with an interest in physical education, sports pedagogy and education policy.

Reviews for Examination Physical Education: Policy, Practice and Possibilities

"""This book provides the ‘what’ and starts the conversations on the ‘how’, and these ‘how’ conversations need to be explored in a collaborative manner with all stakeholders in the physical education community (teachers, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, professional development providers, policy makers). For these reasons, I would highly recommend this book to all of these stakeholders to broaden the thinking (and therefore possibilities) around the enactment of examination physical education (and physical education more broadly).""
