Pedagogy Practice and Professional Development in Sport and Physical EducationStandard Page

OVERVIEW

This group focuses on the pedagogical, relational and emotional dimensions of coaching, teaching, and professional development. Working collaboratively with external partners, group members utilise sociological, psychological and education theorising to explore a variety of contemporary issues. These include, but are not limited to:

• Coaching as a (micro)political, emotional, and relational activity.

• The design, delivery, and evaluation of formal coach education provision.

• The enactment of physical education policy.

• Teaching and learning in Higher Education.
