The pathway is a suite of curriculum units that enable interested Education students at The University of New England to specialise in the teaching of primary school Physical Education (PE). In New South Wales, PE is a marginalised subject in the primary school curriculum situated within the Key Learning Area known as Personal Development, Health and Physical Education. The specialisation pathway at UNE ensures that PE is not further marginalised within the curriculum of teacher education. In an attempt to investigate the efficacy of this pathway, the descriptive and explanatory potential of Transformative Learning Theory (TLT) has been explored. Application of TLT to the research program has been detailed with implications for the major study outlined. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Bridging the Gap between Ideas and Doing Research 2008: 3rd Annual Postgraduate Research Conference, Armidale, Australia, 15th - 18th July, 2008 | Source of Publication: | Bridging the Gap between Ideas and Doing Research: Proceedings of the 3rd Annual Postgraduate Research Conference, p. 63-68 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130210 Physical Education and Development Curriculum and Pedagogy | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930202 Teacher and Instructor Development | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.une.edu.au/faculties/professions/Resources/2008proceedings.pdf |
