Revitalizing Health & Physical Education Through Technology

Overview

GoFPEP 2010 is focused on “Revitalizing Health and Physical Education through Technology.” Organized to examine new forms of pedagogy, GoFPEP 2010 will seek to review the use of technology, ways of linking practice to theory and the importance of contextually-based education embedded in community life as a way to reshape and redesign the future of health and physical education.

Themes

• Reframing health and physical education pedagogy internationally by promoting dialogue and discussion on critical themes and issues.

• Exploring a new model of pedagogy for preparing health and physical education teachers which promotes accountability, builds community life, employs a greater use of reflection to improve practice and embeds learning in practice.

• Examining the extension of health- and physical education-based school programs into community life.

• Review the application of technology as related to the teaching of health and physical education.

• Promoting the establishment of partnerships between the school, community, university, nongovernmental organizations and commercial enterprises.

• Rethink the relationship between health and physical education as a strategy for promoting lifelong active living.

• Stimulating forward thinking, resulting in the crafting of a global consensus statement focused on “Health and Physical Education Pedagogy in the 21st Century.”
