This impactful resource guide is for international educators and practitioners involved in Physical Education and Sport (PES) who want to learn evidence-based approaches to the teaching of values and character education.
Through a systematic approach to teaching and evaluating values and character education, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice. It offers empirical evidence and strategies to show how values and character can be internalized, through carefully designed experiences, active participation, and regular reinforcement, without compromising the time needed to learn sports skills - a common concern raised by PE teachers and sports coaches. Results from case studies have also revealed that values can be transferred beyond the context of physical education lessons and sports through a collaborative approach and effective communication between teachers, coaches, and parents. Key strategies based on empirical evidence are highlighted in this book. It also highlights an Asian perspective on values and life skills training through Physical Education and provides readers with step-by-step implementation guidelines to simplify some complex strategies in developing values and life skills through PES seamlessly.
The book provides useful information to anyone engaged in developing young people in, and through, sport. In particular it will be of great value to pre-service and in-service teachers and coaches for implementing effective strategies to balance teaching sports skills, values, and life skills effectively in PES.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The authors' work refers to the educational value of physical education and sports (PES) and researches and analyzes in depth the values and skills that are developed through experiential sports and social activities which determine behaviours and life attitudes. Olympic Games and Olympic Education highlight the cultural and educational value of PES. This comprehensive book is an excellent tool for practitioners to understand the goals, methods, means and theories of PES. It also highlights the ways we can move from theory to practice and evaluate the relevant values-oriented educational programmes."
-Ng Ser Miang, Vice President, International Olympic Committee
"A/P Koh Koon Teck's book is a compelling read for coaches, physical education teachers, and any organization leader with sports programmes for youth. It is exceptional in that it gives practical handles for how values and life skills can be effectively taught to youth. It is not just lip service, but the authors show how it can be seamlessly integrated into coaching as an approach. Better yet, it is transferable to other arenas of life. With this, our youth will be more ready for the future."
-Liew Wei Li, Director-General of Education, Singapore
"Character and Citizenship Education is at the heart of the education system in Singapore. It is a key pillar in our approach to the holistic development of Singaporean students' values, character, social-emotional well-being, and citizenship dispositions. This book provides much-needed evidence-based research and strategies to meet the changing education landscape. I am impressed by the pedagogy of intentionality - integrating content knowledge with values and life skills through context-specific activities and guiding learners to reflect on their experiences and transform them into new knowledge. I highly recommend this book to educators and practitioners!"
-Professor Liu Woon Chia, Director, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
"Sport Singapore strongly believes that sport is an excellent platform to shape our youths into capable, resilient and adaptable adults who contribute to our society in various roles. Singapore's President Tharman Shanmugaratnam famously said that "sport made me", and indeed sport can play a big part in helping individuals to acquire the skills needed to thrive well into the future. This is reflected in our Vision2030 aspiration of enabling Singaporeans to Live Better Through Sport. This book provides compelling evidence-based practical ideas to develop and integrate values-driven practices. A must read, especially for all our teachers and coaches."
-Alan Goh, Chief Executive Officer, Sport Singapore
"I am delighted to endorse the textbook, "Coaching Values and Life Skills through Physical Education and Sports: A Practical Toolkit", which brings together researchers from around the globe to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the necessary knowledge and tools to effectively teach values and life skills through physical education and sports. The chapters in this book are broken down into six parts, and they include a broad range of relevant theories, historical and current empirical research, that both researchers and practitioners should find useful in their daily practices."
-Professor Gordon Bloom, Chair, Department of Kinesiology & Physical Education, McGill University, Canada
"Central to the development of young people learning to adapt to a dynamic society is the ability to shape why they do what they do within a values-based framework. Practitioners need guidance in shaping the moral values and good character of young people in and through physical education and sport (PES). This book provides evidence-based practical ideas to apply in these unique settings. Koon Teck brings together prominent international scholars and practitioners to create a must-have resource to effectively teach values and life skills."
