Description
The Routledge Handbook of Teaching Practice in Sport and Exercise Science captures contemporary pedagogic practice within sport and exercise science (SES), applicable to both Higher Education (HE) and Further Education (FE). This cutting-edge new reference work covers teaching and learning concepts, curriculum design, assessment and feedback, graduate skill development, student engagement endeavours, and professional development by presenting a series of chapters that share broader teaching concepts and approaches, specific tools and mechanisms to support student learning, and subject-specific examples.
The chapters provide important information regarding real world examples of how to engage students to become better learners through the lens of sport and exercise pedagogy. It challenges the traditional ways of delivering content to a changing student body to help instructors develop strong curriculum design.
The Routledge Handbook of Teaching Practice in Sport and Exercise Science advances pedagogic practice in SES through practical examples and reflection at both a discipline and individual level. It is a critical resource to support HE and FE academics in their delivery and reflections on their pedagogic practice as well as a useful guide for students in reflecting on their development and learning experiences.
