Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les deux dernières années ont rappelé au milieu scolaire la nécessité de s’adapter à un monde frappé par des crises de plus en plus régulières. Elles ont, par la force des choses, façonné l’émergence d’une « nouvelle normalité éducative ». À la lumière des enjeux soulevés sur les plans de la santé physique et mentale dans le quotidien de publics scolaires fortement déstabilisés, cette période trouble, source de questions fondamentales sur la vie, la démocratie et l’exercice de la liberté aura catapulté à l’avant-plan les défis de l’appropriation du numérique éducatif et de l’enseignement à distance jusque-là en émergence sans manquer d’interroger au passage la place allouée à l’éducation physique à l’école tout autant que les limites des modèles éducatifs dominants qu’elle promeut. Sans équivalent dans l’espace francophone, Enseigner l’éducation physique en contexte scolaire constitue le fruit d’une collaboration internationale de grande ampleur. Les 25 contributions originales que présente cet ouvrage s’inscrivent sous cinq grandes thématiques toutes aussi d’actualité qu’incontournables peu importe où le lecteur se situe sur le continuum du développement professionnel : 1) Devenir enseignant d’éducation physique ; 2) Programmer et établir des conditions favorables à l’apprentissage en éducation physique ; 3) Pluralité des publics scolaires et inclusion en éducation physique ; 4) Diversité des objets d’intervention en éducation physique et 5) Accompagner la relève enseignante en éducation physique. Parce que les enseignants d’éducation physique sont des acteurs très influents dans le cheminement scolaire des élèves comme dans celui de celles et ceux qui aspirent à une carrière dans l’enseignement de cette discipline, chacune des contributions présentées vise l’enrichissement de leur formation initiale et continue comme de leurs interventions à l’école ou sur le terrain de la formation à l’enseignement. Toutes ambitionnent aussi de soutenir le rôle d’ambassadeur que ces enseignants peuvent jouer auprès d’autres acteurs scolaires clés au profit de cette discipline carrefour trop souvent dévalorisée et dont la pertinence socio-scolaire est périodiquement reconsidérée au gré des idéologies dominantes et des jeux d’influences. Enfin, chacun des chapitres contenus dans cet ouvrage espère ouvrir les perspectives du lecteur et l’inviter à prendre une part active dans le repositionnement de l’éducation physique en démarcation du « modèle scolaire de l’ère industrielle » arrivé en fin de vie et qui est, lui aussi, à repenser au profit d’une éducation à la hauteur des défis du XXIe siècle.

Download or read book Didactique clinique de l ducation physique et sportive EPS written by André Terrisse and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2009-05-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fruit de recherches portant sur l’analyse des pratiques d’enseignement et de leurs effets sur les élèves, cet ouvrage est original à plus d’un titre. En effet, il traite à la fois de questions générales, qui sont toujours d’actualité, comme le choix et la modalité de traitement des savoirs en fonction du contexte et de la nature de la classe, tout en y incluant la part personnelle que prend l’enseignant dans ses décisions de choix et de traitement. !--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /-- Si le terme de clinique est accolé à celui de didactique, c’est pour montrer combien la question des savoirs délivrés en classe est certes très dépendante des instructions officielles qui fixent les exigences institutionnelles, mais aussi et surtout du rapport qu’entretiennent les enseignants avec ces savoirs. En EPS, les enseignants se servent, dans l’institution scolaire, de connaissances extraites du champ sportif ou de loisir. Ils mènent des cycles de basket ball, d’endurance ou de natation, activités largement répandues dans le champ social. Ce qui est interrogé dans cet ouvrage, c’est l’effet de ce rapport sur le traitement de ces APSA (Activités Physiques, Sportives et Artistiques). Un enseignant peut « aimer » ou « détester » la natation, mais il ne peut pas ne pas l’enseigner. Ce que nous tentons de décrire et d’expliquer dans cet ouvrage, c’est justement en quoi ce rapport a un effet sur l’enseignement de cette activité. Comme l’ont indiqué des chercheurs dans d’autres disciplines, cette question est pertinente pour un enseignant d’histoire qui enseigne aussi la géographie ou pour un enseignant de physique qui enseigne aussi la chimie ! D’où la question récurrente : en quoi le rapport personnel au savoir de l’enseignant détermine-t-il son activité professionnelle ?

Download or read book Ethnomethodology written by Alain Coulon and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1995-04-20 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnomethodology is a research strategy that systematically examines the everyday interactions between people. In the past three decades, an impressive body of work has been created under this label by such noted scholars as Garfinkel, Sacks, Cicourel, Schlegloff, Mehan, and Emerson. In this volume, Alain Coulon demystifies the ethnomethodological tradition and its often arcane nomenclature. Coulon explains its history, its major features, and the major criticisms leveled at it in terms that are accessible to students and novices. Covering both the theoretical notions and main ethnomethodological practices and replete with examples of key work in the area, Ethnomethodology is the first accessible, brief introduction to this important qualitative research tradition.

Download or read book Transformative Learning and Teaching in Physical Education written by Malcolm Thorburn and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformative Learning and Teaching in Physical Education explores how learning and teaching in physical education might be improved and how it might become a meaningful component of young people’s lives. With its in-depth focus on physical education within contemporary schooling, the book presents a set of professional perspectives that are pivotal for realising high-quality learning and teaching for physical education. With contributions from a range of international academics, chapters critically engage with vital issues within contemporary physical education. These include examples of complex learning principles in action, which are discussed as a method for bettering our understanding of various learning and teaching endeavours, and which often challenge hierarchical and behaviourist notions of learning that have long held a strong foothold in physical education. Authors also engage with social-ecological theories in order to help probe the complex circumstances and tensions which many teachers face in their everyday work environments, where they witness first-hand the contrast between discourses which espouse transformational change and the realities of their routine institutional arrangements. This book enables readers to engage in a fuller way with transformative ideas and to consider their wider implications for contemporary physical education. Its set of professional perspectives will be of great interest to academics, policymakers, teacher educators and teachers in the fields of physical education, health and well-being. It will also be a useful resource for postgraduate students studying in these subject areas.

This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'enseignement est de moins en moins souvent la vocation de toute une vie. Nombreux sont les collègues qui ne font plus carrière à l'école et qui la quittent après une expérience très courte. L'interdisciplinarité, la collégialité, le travail collaboratif modifient profondément l'exercice de la profession. Cette évolution a des répercussions sur l'attrait du métier d'enseignant ainsi que sur la formation initiale et continue. L'éducation physique n'échappe pas à ces transformations du paysage éducatif et scolaire. En particulier, l'enseignant novice est mis à l'épreuve par les nouvelles exigences, qui questionnent d'emblée ses capacités de maîtrise du processus d'enseignement-apprentissage. Ce livre rassemble douze contributions internationales francophones qui respectent l'itinéraire chronologique des futurs professionnels : étudiants, stagiaires, novices, formation continue. Outre des thématiques comme le plaisir d'apprendre ou d'enseigner et les interactions langagières, il aborde une réflexion plus générale à propos du processus de construction d'une identité d'enseignant en éducation physique, vue en tension sous différents aspects socioprofessionnels.

Download or read book The Biological Basis of Personality written by Hans Eysenck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic is one of the most cited and novel approaches to psychology ever written. Hans Eysenck presents a descriptive and causal model of human personality in accord with the major concepts of experimental psychology and the physiological and neurological mechanisms that form the biological basis of behavior patterns. His proposal for an alliance between personality and physiology represented a major innovation in the field of psychology, distinguished his research from his contemporaries, and set the stage for a wealth of research to come. Before this foundational work, Eysenck had initially constructed a model of personality in such works as Dimensions of Personality and The Experimental Study of Personality, but these were primarily descriptive in nature. A second phase of research included his Dynamics of Anxiety and Hysteria and Experiments with Drugs, where he provided causal analysis by reference to concepts then current in experimental psychology. The Biological Basis of Personality represents Eysenck's third phase, when he dug deeper to find biological causes underlying the psychological concepts of emotion, excitation, and inhibition--which had formed the building blocks of his earlier efforts. In this work, the causal links he postulates between personality variables and neurological and physiological discoveries establish a realistic model that takes theory out of the field of mere speculation. As Sybil Eysenck makes clear in her new preface, this book paved the way for a "marriage" of the experimental and individual difference approach in personality psychology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon medical journals, newspapers, propaganda, military histories, and other writings of the day, 'Modernism, History and the First World War' reads such writers as Woolf, HD, Ford, Faulkner, Kipling, and Lawrence alongside fiction and memoirs of soldiers and nurses who served in the war. This ground breaking blend of cultural history and close readings shows how modernism after 1914 emerges as a strange but important form of war writing, and was profoundly engaged with its own troubled history.

Download or read book The Gernsheim Collection written by Roy Flukinger and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Alfred H. Barr Jr. Award, College Art Association, 2012 The Gernsheim Collection is one of the most important collections of photography in the world. Amassed by the renowned husband-and-wife team of Helmut and Alison Gernsheim between 1945 and 1963, it contains an unparalleled range of images, beginning with the world's earliest-known photograph from nature, made by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826. The Gernsheim Collection includes some 35,000 major and representative photographs from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; a research library of some 3,600 books, journals, and published articles; about 250 autographed letters and manuscripts; and more than 200 pieces of early photographic equipment. Its encyclopedic scope—as well as the expertise and taste with which the Gernsheims built the collection—makes the Gernsheim Collection one of the world's premier resources for the study and appreciation of the development of photography. Published to coincide with a landmark exhibition staged by the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, which owns the collection, this volume presents masterpieces of the Gernsheim Collection, along with lesser-known images of great historical significance. Arranged in chronological order, this selection effectively constitutes a visual history of photography from its beginnings to the mid-twentieth century. Each full-page image is accompanied by an extensive annotation in which Roy Flukinger describes the photograph's place in the evolution of photography and also within the Gernsheim Collection. Flukinger also provides an enlightening introduction in which he traces the Gernsheims' passionate careers as collectors and pioneering historians of photography, showing how their untiring efforts significantly contributed to the acceptance of photography as a fine art and as a field worthy of intellectual inquiry. Appreciations of the Gernsheim Collection by Alison Nordström and Mark Haworth-Booth confirm its singular importance as a collection of outstanding breadth and depth in the history of photography.

Download or read book International Handbook of Teachers and Teaching written by Bruce J. Biddle and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-04-30 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have generated a huge increase in the number of research and scholarly works concerned with teachers and teaching, and this effort has generated new and important insights that are crucial for understanding education today. This handbook provides a host of chapters, written by leading authorities, that review both the major traditions of work and the newest perspectives, concepts, insights, and research-based knowledge concerned with teachers and teaching. Many of the chapters discuss developments that are international in scope, but coverage is also provided for education in a number of specific countries. Many chapters also review contemporary problems faced by educators and the dangers posed by recent, politically-inspired attempts to `reform' schools and school systems. The Handbook provides an invaluable resource for scholars, teacher-educators, graduate students, and all thoughtful persons concerned with the best thinking about teachers and teaching, current problems, and the future of education.
