`This is simply the physical education book of its time. The editors must be congratulated on bringing together so many quality authors from so many different parts of the world. As a handbook, it represents how far the study of physical education has moved forward in recent times. What we have is a clear portrayal of physical education at the start of the 21st century' - Mike Jess, University of Edinburgh


An excellent resource, with a wide range of subjects included. Gives students an understanding of the key aspects, with opportunities to explore further

A text for students to 'dip into' to extend their knowledge of some important and relevant aspects of research and literature in Physical Education. It will support the students emerging understanding of physical education pedagogy.

This book is the best handbook for any student or scholar of physical education. Each of the six sections provides a clearly written insight into the current/contemporary issues as they relate to physical education. I would endorse and echo the comments made by the reviewers which appear on the back cover of the text. I think that the paperback version provides excellent value for money and I have noticed that those students who have engaged with the contents of the handbook have been able to contribute to seminar and tutorials in very informed and insightful ways. I hope that there will be a second edition in the near future as there are developments in education across the globe that could be reflected in the next edition which would aid the scholarship and understanding of physical education.

Doune Macdonald

Doune Macdonald is a professor and Head of the School of Human Movement Studies. Doune completed her undergraduate degree in Human Movement Studies at The University of Queensland before teaching health and physical education in primary and secondary schools. Professor Macdonald returned to UQ for her honours degree, obtained her PhD through Deakin University and rejoined the School in 1990. In 1998 she won an Australian Award for University Teaching. Professor Macdonald serves on the editorial boards of Teaching Education, Sport, Education and Society, and is Vice-President of AIESEP. Research interests The past decade has brought a number of changes to the field of health and physical education in the school and tertiary sector. Professor Macdonald's research interests have attempted to understand these shifts through the lens of professional socialisation, discourse analysis and identity construction using predominantly qualitative methods. In particular, much of her work has addressed the challenges of curriculum reform and its impact upon teachers and teaching. More recently Professor Macdonald's interests have moved outside the formal education sphere to broader questions of physical activity and young people with two funded projects looking at at-risk young people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Currently the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council, Queensland Health and the Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs fund some of her research projects.
