Summary: This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of two commonly used physical literacy questionnaires in assessing knowledge, understanding, perceived competence, environment, and value for literacy, numeracy, and physical literacy, as well as their correlation with objectively evaluated physical fitness. The findings showed good reliability of the Croatian version of the questionnaires and significant associations between physical literacy and physical fitness. Therefore, this research supports the importance of physical literacy in the development of physical fitness.

Summary: The paper argues for incorporating contemplative pedagogy into geography classrooms as a step towards teaching and producing anti-oppressive geographic knowledge. It emphasizes the importance of challenging oppressive forms of knowledge, developing self-reflexivity, and integrating different viewpoints in order to promote deep engagement in difficult conversations around privilege, colonialism, injustice, racism, and inequality. By equipping students with tools for reflection and mindfulness, both instructors and students can transform the learning experience and effectively engage in these necessary conversations.

Summary: This paper examines the cultural construction of health in Health and Physical Education (HPE) curriculum and how it is positioned within government policy. It highlights the importance of diverse cultural understandings of health and their impact on race, ethnicity, and culture. By using a postcolonial lens and analyzing the HPE curriculum from Ontario, Canada, the study reveals how non-dominant cultural practices are marginalized and perpetuate stereotypical notions of race and ethnicity in policy.

It examines reading lists and module descriptions of UK accredited journalism degrees and finds that the subject is dominated by western journalism experiences and neglects non-white perspectives. The paper calls for educating journalists on racism and structural racism in order to challenge biases and omissions that limit the audience's understanding of politics, histories, and societies.

Summary: Research shows that athletes in various levels and sports are subjected to non-sexualised forms of maltreatment, with psychological abuse and neglect being the most common. However, evidence-based education on abuse in sports is limited, and there is scarce research on the application of educational theories and design considerations in sport learning contexts. This paper presents an overview of an online athlete-and coach-led abuse education program, which focuses on teaching children and adults about non-sexualised types of abuse and their effects. The paper discusses the educational theory and design considerations used in the program and provides recommendations based on feedback from facilitators and participants.

Summary: This paper examines the ethical complexities of internationalizing sport management programs in Global North universities, drawing on postcolonial theory, critical internationalization studies, and studies of global ethics. It critiques the current articulations of internationalization, which are primarily based on a liberal global imaginary, and presents alternative possibilities for envisioning internationalization practices and policies in sport management programs using critical and decolonial ethics frameworks. It encourages sport management scholars and educators in Global North institutions to confront the ethical challenges of internationalization and strive for more globally accountable approaches.

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to introduce the First Special Issue of our Double Special Edition on LGBTQIA+ Topics in Health, Wellbeing and Education. This special issue focuses on LGBTQIA+ Topics in Physical Education. We introduce the Special Issue by describing the sociopolitical backdrop around the world more broadly and specifically in relation to LGBTQIA+ rights. Afterwards, we reflect on the process of choosing Sport, Education and Society as the journal to publish the Special Edition. Moving forward, we briefly summarise the different streams of LGBTQIA+ research in physical education and how this special issue extends our knowledge in these areas. Lastly, we contend that this Special Issue adds a new stream of research on LGBTQIA+ Topics in Physical Education. We conclude the introduction by considering how future research may continue to capitalise on the momentum that LGBTQIA+ research has built in the field.
