BiographyMaximilian Poncet-Rief is currently an Assistant Professor for Physical Education research and Sportpedagogy at the University of Graz, Austria. Before, Max worked as Senior Lecturer at the University of Salzburg, Austria where he also conducted his Ph.D research. Next to his vast experiences in teaching theoretical and practical courses in Sport Science and different PE Teacher Education programs, his research focusses on pedagogical models such as Game-Based-Approaches, PE Teacher Education, democracy and sport, and (longitudinal) qualitative research designs. A focus in his research is connecting different fields (e.g. sport clubs, social work physical activity) and research, for example working with different local, professional and leisure sport clubs.
His academic preparation includes: State Examination for Teaching (subjects: Physical Education, Political Science) University of Marburg, Germany, Ph.D. University of Salzburg, Austria. Mission StatementAustrian universities have a long-standing tradition of educating sport science and PETE graduates. However, the teaching and application of pedagogical models in practice is often still focusing on rather traditional approaches. Having taught at different Austrian universities and implementing GBAs in University Education one goal will be to further disseminate GBAs through teaching in PETE and Sport Science programs. In addition, the expansion of GBAs is further fostered by several research projects trying to implement GBAs in different Austrian sport contexts such as professional sport clubs, sport associations coach educations programs or correctional settings.
On an organizational level the Austrian Society of Sport Science especially the section sport pedagogy will serve as an important connection point to different sport associations. Further, the cooperation with members of the German GBA community will be further established to strengthen and align agendas. |
