Learning to Teach Physical Education in the Secondary School

Learning to Teach Physical Education in the Secondary School by Susan Capel

This book focuses on the requirements of student PE teachers in relation to teaching skills and issues covered in PGCE and initial teacher education courses. The new edition of this popular textbook draws together background information about teaching and about PE, basic teaching skills specifically related to physical education and broader knowledge and understanding of issues in the wider context of PE. The book is organized so that each chapter contains text and underpinning theory interspersed with activities that student teachers are asked to undertake either alone, with another student teacher, or with a tutor. This is not a book of teaching tips but promotes critical thinking and reflection to enable student PE teachers to develop into reflective practitioners. Learning to Teach Physical Education in the Secondary School is an essential resource for any student teacher undertaking PGCE or school-based initial teacher education to become a teacher of PE in secondary schools.

'This book contains a wealth of advice on generic aspects of teaching and learning in Physical Education.. The accessibility of the text, and constant reference to ways of adapting suggestions to different situations, make this book particularly "user-friendly" and suitable for student-teachers in diverse settings.' - European Physical Education Review

'This publication should prove useful to student teachers specialising in physical education and ought to be essential reading for teachers who pride themselves on being "critically reflective" ... Up-to-date research supports sound practical advice and there are suggestions for further reading on motivation, learning theory, skills acquisition and subject content.' - Times Educational Supplement
