This book weaves together theory, research, and practical information related to the psychological aspects of physical education. Unlike other exercise/sport psychology books on the market, The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education is written especially for future and practicing physical educators and focuses on the psychological principles and strategies that are most relevant to them. The book covers the important topics of motivation, reinforcement, feedback, modeling, prosocial behaviors/moral development, and selfperception. In each chapter, narratives about real practicing teachers show how they apply the principles and theories of psychology to physical education, and particularly to actual situations that readers are likely to encounter professionally.Each chapter contains three main sections: following an opening scenario in which Blankenship captures the reader's attention with a reallife problem, the author then (1) highlights theories related to the subject matter of the chapter, (2) summarizes the research that has been conducted on the theories and the chapter topic, and (3) gives examples of practical applications of the theory and research to physical education. Throughout the chapter, as the theory, research, and application of the topic are discussed, Blankenship presents possible solutions to the challenge presented in the chapteropening vignette. The classroom applications and realworld examples are relevant to many different physical education settings, including those at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, in both urban and rural schools representing various geographical regions of the country. These examples bring the theories to life and help readers envision how their own classes will benefit as they apply what theyve learned about the psychology of teaching physical education.Key Features of the BookA theorytoresearchtopractice approach.An author whose background in both sport psychology and physical education makes her uniquely qualified to write this book.Chapterending application exercises that encourage readers to go beyond rote memorization of concepts and principles to apply what they learned in various specific examples.Sample instructional models and guidelines to enable readers to incorporate concepts discussed in the chapter into their own classes.A comprehensive glossary.
