Students will also consider the embodiment of movement, ethics and the role technology might play in creating personal meaning and understanding in future iterations of physical education. Through a blend of theory and practical sessions, students will conceptualise, implement and critically reflect on effective teaching and learning approaches in physical education contexts in Aotearoa New Zealand.
