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
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.
