A fundamental component of the Olympic ideal is the concept of Olympic education. This is the notion that sport can help children and young people develop essential life skills. Olympic Education: An international review is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of the diffusion and implementation of Olympic education programmes around the world. The book includes 28 chapters with 21 national case studies of countries on every major continent, including Australia, Brasil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Spain, the UK, the US and Zambia. Each chapter examines the cultural, pedagogical, political and societal challenges of teaching Olympic education, as well as the national, individual and institutional programmes that have emerged. It explores key practical and conceptual issues, such as the incorporation of Olympic values in PE curricula, sport coaching and coach education programmes, while also taking into account the collaborative efforts of the governmental bodies, sport federations and Olympic institutions responsible for policy and implementation. This is important reading for all students, researchers and professionals with an interest in the Olympics, sport education, sports coaching, sport policy or physical education.

Por ello, se plantean propuestas y materiales para trabajar desde las distintas areas curriculares y los diferentes ciclos educativos.
Desde la perspectiva de la educación en valores, los autores se preguntan: ¿Cómo se aborda la educación emocional y volitiva? ¿La educación física y el deporte puede ser un área privilegiada para trabajar el desarrollo personal? ¿Cuáles son los valores más fáciles de potenciar desde el área de educación física? El libro ofrece gran cantidad de ejemplos que ayudan a conseguir el justo equilibrio entre la reflexión y la actuación, entre la teoría y la práctica, en definitiva, entre lo que se dice y lo que se hace.
This edition presents practical, field-tested ideas for teaching personal and social responsibility (TPSR) through physical activity in schools and other settings.

This new edition of Complete Guide to Sport Education contains everything your students need to get—and keep—children active. Regardless of skill or confidence level, your students will learn how to get children to work together, support each other, and gain competence in sport and fitness skills so that they can stay moving now and throughout their lifetime. The Sport Education model is appropriate for various dance forms and recreational activities such as swimming, weightlifting, and other fitness programs such as aerobic routines and hiking. The text for this groundbreaking Sport Education curricular model has expanded to 12 chapters, is updated throughout, and offers even more practical examples and real-world applications from both elementary and secondary levels: • A new emphasis on using the Sport Education model to help students reach national goals for physical activity, including outside of class time • Review of the findings from more than 50 research studies that examine the efficacies of the Sport Education model • More online teacher resources—including ready-to-use forms, plans, assessments, charts, and handouts A few examples of new resources include a series of team practice cards that teachers and team coaches can use to plan practices, and templates that allow teachers to choose among several game-play performance indicators (techniques and tactics, rules and strategies, fair play, and so on). The resources make it easy for professors to use this text in college methods and curriculum courses. Authors Daryl Siedentop, Peter Hastie, and Hans van der Mars provide a perfect blend of rock-solid theory and practical application for a wealth of games, sports, and fitness activities. Through their Sport Education model, children quickly become involved in all aspects of a sport or activity, learning skills, sportsmanship, and responsibility. The curriculum helps students develop as leaders and as team players. And as they learn to become true players and performers, they become more competent and confident—thus leading to the likelihood that they will continue being active after school, on weekends, and as they grow. This second edition of Complete Guide to Sport Education will help school programs meet national physical activity guidelines and the national physical education standards established by NASPE. It contains everything that future physical education teachers need in order to implement an effective program. With its greater emphasis on activity and fitness, its expanded resources, its relevance and freshness, and its practical approach, Complete Guide to Sport Education, Second Edition, is just what your students need to point children in the direction of healthy, active lifestyles.

Desde la antigüedad, filósofos, psicólogos, sociólogos, pedagogos y otros agenes sociales, vienen resaltando la necesidad de educar en valores, siendo conscientes de la redundancia que esto supone, puesto que “aquello que no educa en valores no es verdaderamente educación”. Pero, ¿a quién correspnde realizar tan díficil tarea? ¿padres? ¿profesores? ¿educadores?... Así como otras áreas educativas hace tiempo que intentan superar barreras y abordar estos contenidos en sus programaciones, la educación física y el deporte han mostrado mayor resistencia a incluirlos, pensando que sus objetivos eran otros. Afortunadamente, la perspectiva más humanística de la educación física actual, una mayor sensibilidad de los educadores físico-deportivos hacia este campo y las demandas de la propia sociedad han hecho que cada vez se considere más normal el tratamiento de los contenidos afectivos y el mundo de los valores, tanto en las clases de educación física, en contexto escolar, como en los entrenamientos deportivos, en busca de una formación integral de la persona. Paralelamente, el progresivo deterioro de muchos de los eventos deportivos, en lo que se refiere al comportamiento de los deportistas y al de sus “hinchas” y seguidores, hace cada vez más necesario el estudio y promoción de valores sociales y personales en las prácticas físico-deportivas. Ante tal panorama, este Manual sobre valores en la educación física y el deporte pretende proporcionar a los alumnos, deportistas, padres, profesores, entrenadores, técnicos y gestores del deprote, una amplia serie de instrumentos, actividades, sugerencias y propuestas prácticas para llevar a cabo la contemplación y desarrollo de unos valores encaminados a devolver a la práctica deportiva su carácter más educativo.
A philosophical perspective on the character of sport, focusing on three broad justifications or uses for rules: to define sport; to judge or assess sport performance; and to characterize the value of sport - especially in terms of morality.
This Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) Manual was developed during three-and-a-half years of continuous work, involving the United Nations Children's Fund education staff and specialists from partner agencies working on quality education. It benefits from fieldwork in 155 countries and territories, evaluations carried out by the Regional Offices and desk reviews conducted by headquarters in New York. The manual is a part of a total resource package that includes an e-learning package for capacity-building in the use of CFS models and a collection of field case studies to illustrate the state of the art in child-friendly schools in a variety of settings.
Wanted Cultured Ladies Only! maps out the early culture of cinema stardom in India from its emergence in the silent era to the decade after Indian independence in the mid-twentieth century. Neepa Majumdar combines readings of specific films and stars with an analysis of the historical and cultural configurations that gave rise to distinctly Indian notions of celebrity. She argues that discussions of early cinematic stardom in India must be placed in the context of the general legitimizing discourse of colonial "improvement" that marked other civic and cultural spheres as well, and that "vernacular modernist" anxieties over the New Woman had limited resonance here. Rather, it was through emphatically nationalist discourses that Indian cinema found its model for modern female identities. Considering questions of spectatorship, gossip, popularity, and the dominance of a star-based production system, Majumdar details the rise of film stars such as Sulochana, Fearless Nadia, Lata Mangeshkar, and Nargis.
