Operationalizing Physical Literacy: Special Issue Editorial

Journal of Teaching in Physical Education (2018)

Elizabeth J. Durden-Myers Margaret Whitehead

Physical literacy has been described as a “longed for concept” and has in turn gained much interest worldwide. This interest has also given rise for calls for physical literacy to be operationalized, providing clarity and guidance on developing physical literacy informed practice. Operationalizing physical literacy is crucial in moving the concept forward by providing “substance to the claims made by (physical literacy) advocates.” This special issue aims to respond to calls for research to “unpack” physical literacy across a number of areas in pursuit of operationalizing physical literacy in practice. Nine articles are included within this special issue.

Physical Literacy and Human Flourishing

Journal of Teaching in Physical Education (2018)

Elizabeth J. Durden-Myers Margaret Whitehead Niek Pot

This article explores the relationship between physical literacy and human flourishing. Understanding the contribution physical literacy may have in nurturing human flourishing extends the philosophical rationale and importance of physical literacy in relation to maximizing human potential. This article proposes that the concept of physical literacy is being embraced worldwide, in part due to the contribution physical literacy may make in nurturing human flourishing. Therefore, this article discusses the relationship between physical literacy and human flourishing in detail, unveiling what value this connection may hold in promoting physical literacy as an element integral in enhancing quality of life. Aspects of human flourishing are presented and examined alongside physical literacy. Synergies between physical literacy and human flourishing are not hard to find, and this gives credence to the growing adoption of physical literacy as a valuable human capability.

Introduction to international perspectives on physical literacy

Routledge eBooks (2019)

Margaret Whitehead

This chapter introduces Part II, which is entitled 'International Perspectives on Physical Literacy', and comprises chapters written by colleagues in eight countries across the world. These colleagues, in their different ways, have played a leading role in the development of physical literacy in their country. The chapters are presented in alphabetical order of the countries: Australia, Canada, continental Europe, India, New Zealand, Scotland, Wales and the United States. As will be seen, these individuals come from a range of backgrounds and contexts. The authors from Australia, Canada and continental Europe work in the university sector, while the colleagues from New Zealand and Wales work in the sports sector. The colleague from the United States has a background in a professional association for teachers of physical education. The founding interest for work in India came from a national sports star, and the chapter is written by a colleague in a sports foundation. The authors from Scotland represent a partnership between public health and a university. This introduction identifies those organisations that launched physical literacy in a country and some of the reasons for their interest in the concept. The chapter also surveys interpretations of the definition and identifies partnerships developed with other organisations

The nature of physical education

Routledge eBooks (2020)

Margaret Whitehead

This chapter is designed to help readers clarify their thinking about key aspects of the nature of physical education. Initially, it looks at the relationship between aims, objectives and learning outcomes and how aims relate to values and justifications. The chapter also encourages readers to think about the difference between physical education and related activities such as sport, as well as alert them to the way aims can be ends in themselves or means to other ends. It is very important to be clear about the aims underlying physical education and how these relate to units of work and lesson planning. Aims are usually defined as long-term intentions of a subject. The stepping stones to achieve an aim are usually referred to as objectives and are the intentions that guide the planning of units of work.
