Book excerpt: This book aims to fill an important gap in feminist literature. In so doing, it addresses critical issues in feminist research around women, sport, physical activity and PE. All too frequently, women's presence in the sporting arena is marginalised and rarely are women's experiences heard and analysed. Drawing on a diversity of women's perspectives and theoretical standpoints, this book focuses upon the neglected process of research with women about 'sport'. All contributors to this collection have drawn on their research to illuminate and illustrate the dilemmas and issues involved in researching women's lives.

Download or read book Equality Education and Physical Education written by John Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, first published in 1993, John Evans presents a guideline for challenging sexism, racism and elitism in programmes of physical education. Physical education in relation to social class, gender, race and disability is also discussed. The results arising show problems in the teaching of physical education, and examines the importance of physical education in the development of the child in today's educational system. It is the intention of the contributors to help practitioners clarify their thinking on concepts and issues involved in effecting equal opportunities in physical education. In turn, it is hoped that this will lead to better formation of physical education programmes which demonstrate both equality and equity. This title will be of interest not only to teachers but to students of sociology and education.

Download or read book El deporte escolar en la sociedad contempor nea written by Antonia Irene Herández Rodríguez and published by Universidad Almería. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las personas que viven en las sociedades occidentales consideradas más avanzadas estan expuestas a un sinfín de estímulos culturales que contribuyen a la creación de la identidad personal y social. En este amplio marco de normas, actitudes, pensamientos o técnicas que llamamos cultura, el fenómeno del deporte ocupa un importante papel como proceso que contribuye a la socialización y al desarrollo de la personalidad. La relevancia del deporte como medio de enculturación es mayor aún si cabe cuando nos centramos en las primeras experiencias que se desarrollan con los niños y niñas en edad escolar. La infancia es una época clave para, sino fijar definitivamente, sí construir las bases de la identidad consecuencia de la interacción de los niños y niñas con diferentes agentes de socialización. Provenientes del campo de la Educación Física, son numerosas las aportaciones que resaltan las bondades de la práctica físico-deportiva. Desde la asociación de la actividad física habitual con beneficios físicos, psicológicos y sociales hasta la utilización de las situaciones sociodeportivas como engranaje para la formación integral del individuo en un entorno democrático. Sin embargo, también es unánime la idea de que el deporte en sí mismo puede ser promotor de conductas tanto positivas como negativas, dependiendo de la forma en que es desarrollado. Con esta publicación se pretende reflexionar profundamente sobre las características y objetivos del deporte en edad escolar con la intención de que éste cumpla una función pedagógica coherente con la idea de una sociedad inclusiva y tolerante. Para ello, aunque a los largo de los distintos capítulos se afronta por separado las tres grandes perspectivas (educación, competición y recreación), el mensaje global y unificador es el de la búsqueda de los recursos y la definición de los propósitos para una iniciación deportiva que contribuya a la educación integral de los niños y niñas, favoreciendo la creación de estilos de vida sanos y activos, y la aceptación e interiorización de valores como el diálogo, la tolerancia, el respeto, la igualdad o la justicia social, propios de una sociedad democrática, multicultural, abierta y dinámica.

Download or read book Negotiating Empire written by Solsiree del Moral and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the United States invaded Puerto Rico in 1898, the new unincorporated territory sought to define its future. Seeking to shape the next generation and generate popular support for colonial rule, U.S. officials looked to education as a key venue for promoting the benefits of Americanization. At the same time, public schools became a site where Puerto Rican teachers, parents, and students could formulate and advance their own projects for building citizenship. In Negotiating Empire, Solsiree del Moral demonstrates how these colonial intermediaries aimed for regeneration and progress through education. Rather than seeing U.S. empire in Puerto Rico during this period as a contest between two sharply polarized groups, del Moral views their interaction as a process of negotiation. Although educators and families rejected some tenets of Americanization, such as English-language instruction, they also redefined and appropriated others to their benefit to increase literacy and skills required for better occupations and social mobility. Pushing their citizenship-building vision through the schools, Puerto Ricans negotiated a different school project—one that was reformist yet radical, modern yet traditional, colonial yet nationalist.

Download or read book Soccer Empire written by Laurent Dubois and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When France both hosted and won the World Cup in 1998, the face of its star player, Zinedine Zidane, the son of Algerian immigrants, was projected onto the Arc de Triomphe. During the 2006 World Cup finals, Zidane stunned the country by ending his spectacular career with an assault on an Italian player. In Soccer Empire, Laurent Dubois illuminates the connections between empire and sport by tracing the story of World Cup soccer, from the Cup’s French origins in the 1930s to Africa and the Caribbean and back again. As he vividly recounts the lives of two of soccer’s most electrifying players, Zidane and his outspoken teammate, Lilian Thuram, Dubois deepens our understanding of the legacies of empire that persist in Europe and brilliantly captures the power of soccer to change the nation and the world.
