Curriculum, within the field of curriculum studies, refers to complex structures in which teaching and learning occur. This course explores curriculum in formal (K-12 physical and health education) as well as informal settings where physical education occurs (e.g., coaching, kinesiology, personal training). Contemporary issues impacting curriculum will be considered within broader socio-cultural, political and economic contexts and examined in educational and health-related settings. Varied curricular and pedagogical approaches will be explored with emphasis on critical perspectives to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in Physical and Health Education (PHE).
