Instructional Models for Physical Education (5TH)

This new fifth edition of Instructional Models for Physical Education provides pedagogical knowledge and resources that support physical education teachers’ selection and use of instructional models and gives physical educators a plan for incorporating these models into their teaching. Presented in two sections, Instructional Models for Physical Education first presents the rationale, pedagogical knowledge, and selection processes for model-based instruction (MBI). MBI is the commitment to use one instructional plan throughout a unit of instruction. The second section provides pedagogical knowledge for the selection, implementation, and assessment of instructional models used in P–12 physical education. This new edition has been updated to be in alignment with the 2024 SHAPE America National Standards for Physical Education and refreshed throughout, providing significant updates and new additions designed to enhance the book’s utility and relevance for contemporary physical education programs, including a new chapter examining innovation in model-based instruction. Instructional Models for Physical Education, Fifth Edition, includes everything the reader needs for planning, implementing, and assessing when teaching with instructional models. It helps readers incorporate research-based practices in their lessons, adapt activities, and teach to standards. This text can be used as the stand-alone text for courses on physical education teaching methods at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
