Synopsis

As  part  of the physical education specialism, this unit will explore
pedagogical and curriculum issues that relate to the subject area.  An
analysis  of  pedagogy  and  curriculum  using  Shulman's  theoretical
framework will be undertaken. Students will be introduced to the  work
of  curriculum  and  pedagogy theorists in physical education.  Issues
that  relate to the Australian and Queensland context will be covered,
in   particular,  the  National  Statement  for  Physical  and   Sport
Education,  the Wiltshire Report and the Senate Inquiry into  Physical
and  Sport  Education (1992). In this unit students  will  ponder  the
nature of educational change in light of societal change and how  this
may effect the nature of physical education in schools.
