Are you interested in moving up a gear by refining and expanding your ideas of teaching, learning and knowing? 

Apply to take your master's degree in physical education, where Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) is used as a catalyst for thinking about ontological and epistemological issues in physical education.

The University of British Columbia offers an MEd in Curriculum Studies, beginning July 2014. Participants of this cohort program will start to explore constructivist, student-centered and holistic approaches as possibilities for their own teaching practice.


This program is delivered in a hybrid format (online and face-to-face), making it possible to participate in most courses through distance education, and attending two on-site summer institutes in Vancouver. You can read more about the TGfU summer institute experience here. An online information session about the program is being scheduled for January 22nd at 4pm (PST). See the website below for details about how to access the session.

Applications will be accepted until February 13, 2014.

Please visit the program website for details, or contact TGfU International Advisory Board Chair, Dr. Joy Butler.
