Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Case Studies in Physical Education Revised Edition applies the case study method to the field of physical education where it is an effective means for future teachers to explore challenging scenarios that they are likely to encounter in their careers. These engaging reader-friendly case studies provide readers with concrete suggestions for connecting classroom theory with what actually happens in school. Theories and concepts concerning educational philosophy methodology curriculum discipline and assessment become more meaningful when explored in a case scenario in which the central characters confront situations that develop as a consequence of their or others' pedagogical choices. The cases in this book also promote critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Each case is followed by questions that prompt readers to analyze the situation formulate a plan of action to address the problem and anticipate and evaluate the potential consequences of the plan's implementation. In small groups individually or as a whole class readers can explore and debate their strategies for addressing the issues. Readers will learn there is no one right answer to situations that can occur in the education environment. They will develop their communication skills as they learn to articulate and defend a plan of action to address the situation and they will also learn the importance of collaborating with colleagues as they listen to and learn from the ideas of others. These cases were prepared by 36 experienced physical educators (from the elementary secondary and university levels)who collaborated in teams to create cases based on their collective real-life experiences. As a result the cases take place in a variety of contexts: in elementary middle and high schools; in urban suburban rural schools; and in wealthy and needy districts. They present a variety of issues encountered in schools today including issues related to teaching methods classroom management multicultural education classroom assessment inclusion relations with co-workers marginalization of physical education and gender equity. As in real life each case raises a number of related issues that stimulate further discussion or provide opportunities for assignments. This revised edition contains the same proven effective case studies as in the first edition while incorporating minor updating throughout to reflect changes in technology and society since its original publication. | Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Human Enhancement and Well-Being A Case for Optimism

Human Enhancement and Well-Being A Case for Optimism

New technologies and medicines make it increasingly possible to enhance human functioning in new ways: to become smarter more emotionally attuned and perhaps even morally better. But just because we can use the latest science to improve ourselves should we? This book has two main aims. First it outlines and criticises the six main contemporary arguments for scepticism about the role of human enhancements in promoting well-being. These arguments concern respectively (i) the value of achievements (ii) freedom (iii) hyperagency (iv) human nature (v) authenticity and (vi) inequality. It will be shown – for the first time in a book-length treatment – why the overarching bioconservative case against enhancement doesn’t hold water. The second central aim of the book is positive; as we’ll see each of the bioconservative critiques considered and rejected will be shown to nonetheless motivate a distinctive kind of theoretical desideratum that a viable positive enhancement proposal should satisfy. The remainder of the book then defends a two-part enhancement proposal that will be shown to clearly satisfy the theoretical desiderata that emerged from reflecting on the earlier critique of bioconservativism. The first part of the positive proposal motivates and outlines the general role of an enhancement counsellor in facilitating voluntary enhancement; I then offer an applied case study of this role in the special case of enhancement for the purpose of facilitating romantic and parental relationships. Human Enhancement and Well-Being: A Case for Optimism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in applied ethics bioethics philosophy of technology philosophy of well-being and social epistemology. | Human Enhancement and Well-Being A Case for Optimism
