Meaningful Physical Education
This book outlines an approach to teaching and learning in physical education that prioritises meaningful experiences for pupils, using case studies to illustrate how practitioners have implemented this approach across international contexts.

The book draws on the philosophy of physical education to articulate the main rationale fo...

Today, with the worrying decline in physical activity levels across the population, Educating the Body is indispensable to understanding our policy options moving ahead.
Flipped Learning in Physical Education
This is the first book to introduce flipped learning in the context of physical education. It is a timely exploration of pedagogical approaches that draw on digital technologies that can allow learning online and at a distance to support important learning time for physical activity.

Drawing on modern learning theories, the book explains why educators and practitioners may choose to use flipped learning and how the approach can improve physical activity opportunities. It also considers the challenges and the guiding principles involved in implementing flipped learning in different countries, cultures, and contexts.

Tehlikeli Tırmanış
“23 Mayıs 2019 tarihinde, Everest’in zirvesine ulaşabilen birkaç bin şanslı insandan biri oldum. Dünyanın en yüksek dağının zirvesinde durmak, doğanın hayranlık uyandıran kuvvetine şahit olmak insana kibrini unutturan bir tecrübe. Everest’e tırmanmak istememin birkaç sebebi vardı: iklim değişikliğinin yıkıcı etkisini göstermek için çevresel konulara odaklanmak, insanlara örnek olmak ve karşılaştığımız problemlere pratik çözümler aramak. Yaptığım yolculukla, doğaya verdiğimiz zararı gözler önüne sermek, kaleme aldığım bu kitapta ise hem zirveye çıkarken karşılaştığım zorlukları hem de gezegenimizi ve insanlığın geleceğini koruma konusunda hepimizin karşılaştığı zorlukları anlatmak istedim.” Hakan Bulgurlu
