SUMMARY:Teaching Physical Education as though the future depends on it
DESCRIPTION:Conférence de Alan Ovens. University of Auckland\, New Zealand
 
\n Résumé de la conférence ( conférence donnée en anglais)
\nAs Phy
 sical Education teachers in the 21st century\, we live in critical times. 
 Our world faces serious global issues of environmental health\, ethnic con
 flict\, social inequality\, and over-exploitation of natural resources. Wh
 at is our responsibility as physical educators in a world of war\, poverty
 \, prejudice\, and pollution? In this presentation I argue that more than 
 ever the future demands that our youngpeople develop a self-awareness and 
 compassion to reduce their impact on the world and protect the health of t
 heir communities and environments. Thiswill require them to have an ethic 
 of care for our communities be well-informed and engaged\, embrace physica
 l activity as a core part of living\, have alove of play\, be well-educate
 d in ethics and civics\, and to have the social and emotional ability to u
 nderstand and work with people from diversecultures. To achieve this\, I s
 uggest some principles that underpin a transformative pedagogy for physica
 l education that I hope provides both a means for rethinking Physical Educ
 ation and for provoking discussion about the subject and its link to the f
 uture lives and needs of young people.
