Jordana Etkin
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v16 n1 p5-15 2024
This article advocates for a transformative shift in physical education (PE) from Eurocentric paradigms towards a holistic approach. Drawing on Canadian perspectives prioritizing academic physical, mental, and social development, it underscores the necessity of embracing holistic PE to foster inclusivity, cultural relevance, and lifelong wellness. Through a comprehensive review of literature and research, the article explores the integration of holistic methods for PE by promoting student-centred practices and diverse activities, cultivating physical literacy while embracing self-esteem, resilience, and ecological awareness. This pedagogical approach aims to create a more inclusive and impactful learning environment, nurturing lifelong wellbeing for all students.
