(Shutterstock/LightField Studios)This book seeks to provide current and future sport academicians with a wide array of pedagogical practices to help move the academic discipline forward, addressing the diverse and global nature of a changing world, industry, and academic landscape. The work is intended to support the knowledge and deepening of a wide array of teaching techniques to meet the changing needs of the industry and to provide platforms that resonate with a variety of teaching and learning styles.
Rooted in theory and supported by practical application, this book intends to bring together the expertise of sport management academics to provide those currently in the discipline, as well as those preparing for the field, with a resource to traverse the evolving academic landscape. Beginning with the history and evolution of the field, providing a thorough overview of innovative and diverse teaching techniques, and ending with a trajectory of future directions, this work will support the unique teaching styles oft adopted in sport management education, encouraging the adaptation and adoption of new techniques to serve the needs of both students and industry professionals.
