Description

Explore the complex history of school sports with Defining Physical Education (Routledge Revivals). Written by David Kirk, this academic work examines the significant public debates surrounding the role and purpose of physical education in British schools. Originally published in 1992, this edition provides a detailed look at the tensions leading up to the 1987 General Election. By placing these discussions within the historical context of postwar Britain, the book explains how the aims, content, and pedagogy of physical education were contested by different groups. It examines how the culture of postwar social reconstruction helped shape the ideas held by these various parties. This text is an essential resource for those studying the social construction of school subjects and the evolution of physical education through a historical lens.
