Educational sports

This book is based on a special, pedagogical way of thinking about children's learning, development and well-being. Both pedagogues and teachers can benefit from this thinking in connection with the implementation of the primary school reform.

The public school area is facing an upheaval in relation to how Danish schoolchildren are to learn, develop and thrive. The latest primary school reform places increased emphasis on physical activity through more sports lessons, and movement is also included in the learning processes throughout the school and after-school day.

The book gives the reader a detailed description of the term Pedagogical sport and the theoretical framework that forms the basis of the method, including why this pedagogical thinking has great value for the child's general competence development. The book provides numerous and concrete suggestions for the practical application of Pedagogical Sports. This happens both in relation to new and traditional movement activities with a focus on learning. The book thus contains presentations on how educators and teachers can give the activities a twist and thereby support children's learning, development and well-being.

Throughout the book, points, everyday examples and practical experiences with educational sports are supported by neuroscientist Ann E. Knudsen and her experiences and research results in this important area.

Educational sports - Learning and movement in school and free time is aimed at everyone who works with learning and movement activities within the school area, as well as students at vocational colleges and further and further education. Learning and movement in school and free time
