Sport and violence in Europe (2005)

Authors: Dominique Bodin, Luc Robène, Stéphane Héas

Hooliganism, violent behaviour in stadiums, a notable increase in racist and xenophobic attitudes, doping, corruption, cheating, wheeling-and-dealing: has sport lost its fun side and become a serious social activity? Can it escape the influence of big business and political interference?

Does its prominence in the media give rise to violent expression? Young people who no longer recognize social values have turned sport into a means of expressing the distress and problems they are facing in their own lives.

Does the often dubious relationship between sport, business and politics, and the glorification of performance as a universal model lead to an economic and mental form of violence?

This book takes a bearing on insanity and violence in sport in Europe.

Learning to Teach

Physical Education in the

Secondary School

A Companion to School Experience

Susan Capel, Canterbury Christ Church College

There are many teaching skills and issues covered in initial teacher training which student PE teachers must apply to their own subject. However, the complexity of PE can make this difficult to do. This book focuses, therefore, on the requirements of student PE teachers in relation to teaching skills and issues covered in initial education courses.

Throughout the book the theory underpinning those skills and issues is interlinked with tasks which can be undertaken alone, with another student or with a tutor. The book is designed to help student PE teachers to develop teaching skills, knowledge and understanding of the wider context of PE, along with the ability to reflect critically and develop professional judgment.
