Description

This course will examine possible multiple futures for physical education. It draws on historical and cultural developments that have informed current practices. Historical and cultural developments will provide the back drop for understanding how 21st century conceptualisations of knowledge and learning influence and shape physical education. A critical focus on the embodiment of movement, ethics and the role technology might play in creating personal meaning, will lead to the exploration of what the future might hold in understanding diverse ways of becoming physically educated.

Learning Outcomes

1. Engage with, understand, and critique multiple 20th and 21st century conceptualisation of knowledge, learning and the body in physical education.
2. Critically analyse and reflect on sociocultural, historical and possible future orientations to physical education for the 21st century.
3. Critically analyse the implications of biculturalism in Aotearoa New Zealand and its applications in physical education (e.g. Te Ao Kori - the world of movement).
4. Understand and critically analyse the embodiment of human movement, ethics and the role technology might play in contemporary and future iterations of physical education.
5. Critically analyse contemporary theories and concepts related to leadership, organisational learning and change to consider ways to successfully advocate for effective physical education in Aotearoa New Zealand schools.
