By Linda L. Griffin, Kanae Haneishi, Teng Tse Sheng

Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion through Game Teaching and Learning explores a dynamic and innovative approach to revolutionize the way we engage students in physical education (PE). This new text dives into the transformative potential of game-based learning and how it can be harnessed to promote justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) in our educational systems. By nature, games reflect our society. Since games are social, it has been found that dynamic and public social issues (i.e., discrimination and inequality) often emerge during gameplay and among students' interaction.

This book focuses on applying the key pedagogical features of Game-Based Approach (GBA) to address social issues and foster JEDI in game teaching and learning. Through practical strategies, game scenarios and play situations, a roadmap for designing games that inspire collaboration, respect, and acceptance among all students is provided. A GBA situates JEDI within an evidenced-based instructional model sport-related games teaching and learning is an evidence-based approach which positions this cutting-edge new textbook as a pivotal resource for those seeking to make a meaningful impact on the lives of their students.

With the games classification system providing the framework for the book; Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion through Game Teaching and Learning is used as a textbook for games education for teacher educators, physical education teachers and youth coaches.
