Perspectives of modern sports pedagogy

Abstract

This review intends to give a short overview of the development and future perspectives of sports pedagogy as a science. In this respect, a skeptical position is marked, because sports pedagogy seems not to be affirmative to the system of sports. The development of sports sciences as a whole proceeds, and the question is whether sports pedagogy could be the integrating “melting” point of the diverging sports sciences. This hope characterizes early attempts to determine the scientific location of the discipline. Although these former attempts have failed, the problem itself remains. The new bachelor and master's degree courses of study established recently demand new ways of integrating modules. The integration of sports sciences has to take place with regard to the practice of future teachers. That is why the integration of different sport sciences must proceed even as specialization continues.
