In this course students will examine how physical activity and sport, and through them HPE, are products of particular historical, social and cultural conditions. Through identifying and discussing key sociocultural issues relating to physical activity and sport, students will recognise different viewpoints and their impact on contemporary practices. Students will critically analyse approaches to issues such as: the social meanings of sport in Australia; health and the body; gender, sexuality and physical activity; the media and sport; ethnicity and race; youth cultures; and sport and poliitics; with a view to incorporating a sociocultural perspective within health and physical education teaching practices.
| Objectives | Upon completion of this course, students will be expected to: 1. be able to discuss how physical activity, sport and physical education are products of particular social and cultural conditions; 2. be able to identify and critically evaluate different perspectives on issues relating to physical activity, sport and physical education; 3. have developed their own values and philosophies regarding sport, physical activity, and HPE; 4. have used inquiry-related skills and critical thinking to develop an argument in relation to sport issues, beliefs and values; and 5. have engaged with the arguments and evidence in academic writing and research written from a sociological perspective. |
