3 Review(s)

This book takes a close look at 30 studies conducted by 69 scholars with the objective of better understanding physical education, summarising and critically evaluating existing research. Key features include 30 easy-to-read annotations to keep readers interested while they learn about new constructs, teaching strategies, measuring instruments, programme alternatives and terminology. Reading research guidelines provide readers with practical skills for navigating through the difficult aspects of the typical research report. Combining both research and teaching perspectives on specific research projects, this book should shed light on the common ground and breed mutual respect between researchers (mostly college professors) and physical education teachers. The annotated bibliographies are intended to help students explore topics that are more specific and more advanced.
