The purpose of PESP is to provide a forum for high quality educational research for a national and international readership. We intend this research to have a high impact on both policy and practice. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: Exploring pedagogies of embodiment in physical education teacher education by Øyvind F. Standal, Vegard Faanes Aaring & David Kirk (open access).

In Meaningful Physical Education: An Approach for Teaching and Learning (Routledge) the authors outline an approach to teaching and learning in physical education that prioritizes meaningful experiences for pupils, using case studies to illustrate how practitioners have implemented this approach across international contexts. Peter Carlman is our reviewer, and he is sympathetic to the basic premises of meaningful PE; however, he feels that emphasis lies on methods of teaching at the expense of learning objectives.
