With a strong emphasis on critical thinking and developing practical skills, this book is designed to help the reader to become a more effective physical education teacher through analysis of their own professional practice and the learning behavior and achievements of their students. This book leads the reader first through informal analysis, then moves to analysis of participant and instructor behaviors and to analysis of participants’ achievement data. It concludes with a section on the analysis of teacher‑tudent interaction. Every chapter includes systematic clinical tasks and exercises that help the reader to deconstruct and analyze their practice, their instructions, their students’ behavior and achievements, and their interactions with their students. This updated edition also includes a new chapter on action research and self‑tudy, exploring methods for even deeper analysis, as well as new material throughout this book on the use of technology, a central issue in contemporary physical education teacher education.

An essential textbook for courses on pedagogy and instructional methods in physical education, as well as for professional qualifications such as National Board Certification, this is invaluable reading for both pre-service students and in-service teachers.
