Unlike other exercise\/sport psychology books on the market  The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education is written especially for future and practicing physical educators and focuses on the psychological principles and strategies that are most relevant to them. The book covers the important topics of motivation  reinforcement  feedback  modeling  prosocial behaviors\/moral development  and self-perception. In each chapter  narratives about real practicing teachers show how they apply the principles and theories of psychology to physical education  and particularly to actual situations that readers are likely to encounter professionally.  Each chapter contains three main sections: following an opening scenario in which Blankenship captures the readers attention with a real-life problem  the author then (1) highlights theories related to the subject matter of the chapter  (2) summarizes the research that has been conducted on the theories and the chapter topic  and (3) gives examples of practical applications of the theory and research to physical education. Throughout the chapter  as the theory  research  and application of the topic are discussed  Blankenship presents possible solutions to the challenge presented in the chapter-opening vignette. The classroom applications and real-world examples are relevant to many different physical education settings  including those at the elementary  middle  and high school levels  in both urban and rural schools representing various geographical regions of the country. These examples bring the theories to life and help readers envision how their own classes will benefit as they apply what theyve learned about the psychology of teaching physical education.
