Phenomenology and Pedagogy in Physical Education

Select Condition 
Book Overview
Phenomenology is a philosophical approach to the study of consciousness and subjective experience. In recent years it has become a more prominent element of the social scientific study of sport and a core component of the important emergent concept of physical literacy. This book is the first to offer a philosophically-sound investigation of phenomenological perspectives on pedagogy in physical education.
The book argues that physical education is a particularly interesting site for phenomenological study because of the closely embodied relationship between the knowledge object (the ability to participate in movement) and the knowing subject (the pupil) and is fascinating reading for any serious student or researcher working in physical education or the philosophy or sociology of sport.
