Toward better Teaching in Physical Education

Elwood Craig Davis and Earl L. Wallis

This is a lively, comprehensive presentation of the principles of effective teaching in physical education. Two well-known authorities, Elwood C. Davis and Earl L. Wallis, give the reader the benefit of their combined years of experience in this valuable introduc- tion to the profession.

The authors believe firmly that a teacher develops continually throughout his or her career, not only during the early student-teaching period. They stress this belief in presenting ideas of permanent value that will serve the reader well long after the end of the college years.

TOWARD BETTER TEACHING IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION is an excep-tionally complete analysis of teaching and learning in physical education. Moreover, it goes beyond this into an examination of the philosophical, sociological, and psychological concepts that underlie the principles of effective teaching.

The book’s organization is sound and logical, laying a firm foundation of ideas that build toward the ultimate objective of helping to produce resourceful, creative teachers who will be able to solve the unique on-the-job problems they will encounter as members of the profession.
