Practising and Meaningful Experiences in Physical Education - Prof. Kenneth Aggerholm (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series

This second part of our conversation with Prof. Kenneth Aggerholm explores the phenomenon of practising in physical education. Practising sounds like an inevitable part of participation in movement activities, and perhaps this is the reason it has been overlooked and has not received analytic scrutiny. What is practising and why does it have potential to expand our understanding of meaningful movement experiences?

The  conversation draws specifically on the article On practising in physical education: Outline for a pedagogical model.

Kenneth Aggerholm is a Professor at the Department of Teacher Education and Outdoor Studies at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. His work has explored various contexts including youth sport, physical education and adapted physical activity. Kenneth is also the president of the International Association for the Philosophy of Sport (IAPS).
