How to Develop Disability Awareness Using the Sport Education Model
Foley, John T.; Tindall, Daniel; Lieberman, Lauren; Kim, So-Yeun
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (JOPERD), v78 n9 p32-36 Nov-Dec 2007
More than ever, students with disabilities are being included in general physical education classes, recess, and extracurricular sports. To ensure successful experiences in these settings, it is important for the teacher to provide an environment of acceptance and for the students without disabilities to have a positive attitude towards students with disabilities. Physical education is considered a natural setting to change students' attitudes by offering disability awareness in the curriculum. The purpose of this article is (1) to show how to use the sport education model as a vehicle for disability awareness and (2) to show how inclusion fits naturally into the sport education model. (Contains 2 tables.)
