"Research-Based Instruction in Physical Education and Sport is a much needed and wonderful contribution to our field. In each chapter, expert authors present synthesized, current research on the most important topics facing physical educators today. This textbook will aid current and future physical education teachers in delivering quality and effective instruction."   

Dr. Kevin Mercier, PETE Professor at Adelphi University

 

"Research-Based Instruction in Physical Education and Sport Practical Applications and Methods for Educators seeks to advance relevant teaching in physical education and promote positive experiences for all students. The application of research into teaching methods is unique, fresh, and timely. One important aspect is how Bernstein and Phillips have selected the content of this piece to purposely center the voices of students to inform practice. This book is ideal for those searching to challenge and improve their instruction that is representative of the dynamics of diverse schools."

Dr. Fabián Arroyo-Rojas, Assistant Professor of Physical Education Teacher Education at Hofstra University

"The opening task of this book is a great introduction to potential teachers as well as ‘already teachers’ wanting to improve their practices in health and physical education based on research. It reinforces pragmatic instructional aspects of good practice as well as arguably more important relational (inclusion) practices that teachers need to enact if PE is to deliver its promises of education for all. Attention to race and gender are easier entries into relational practices, hopefully whetting the readers’ appetite for addressing all the other exclusions of which PE is guilty."
