Sociological Considerations of PE & Sport

This guide has been designed to assist teachers of A-Level PE and are useful for OCR, AQA and Edexcel Syllabuses. The intention is to expand and clarify the coverage in related textbooks and thus extend the understanding of teachers and promising candidates.

Most of this analysis is at a Global level and concerns an awareness of the place of sport and play in different cultures, but it is also useful to understand the composition and interaction between sports groups.

A study is made of these different levels of physical activity in unsophisticated cultures like the Samoans; emergent cultures, where competitive sport is of increasing importance; and advanced cultures such as those included in comparative study programme.
