Opis

This book introduces the methods by which teachers and coaches can conduct research into their own professional practice and therefore become more effective practitioners and improve their students’ learning. It is the only book on practitioner research that focuses on the challenges of working in a physical education or youth sport environment.

Recenzje

"Conducting Practitioner Research in Physical Education and Youth Sport has much to offer for students commencing their research journey, academics seeking to explore new methods, and practitioners working as teachers/coaches in school and youth sport settings. This book encourages practitioners to take on the role of researcher to learn about ways to improve practice within the workplace through action research, narrative inquiry, autoethnography, and self-study. Overall, the text achieves its purpose of describing what these methods involve, why they are valuable and, most importantly, how they can be easily translated into practice across multiple contexts." – Andrew Bennie, Western Sydney University, Sport, Education and Society
