Pedagogy is a field that deals with the theory, practice and principles of education. It focuses on human development, learning processes and educational methods, especially in order to understand, develop and improve teaching processes. Pedagogy aims not only to transfer knowledge but also to support the cognitive, emotional and social development of students. Pedagogy helps to determine the best practices to be used in teaching and learning processes to ensure effectiveness in education.

Sports education is a systematic process aimed at improving individuals’ physical performance, developing their skills and ensuring that they adopt a healthy lifestyle. Sports education is not just about developing physical skills, but is also a comprehensive process that includes individuals’ mental, emotional and social development. In addition, training in sports fields goes beyond just transferring sports knowledge and makes it possible to support the cognitive, emotional and social development of students, and this can be achieved thanks to the opportunities offered by pedagogy. In this context, the role of pedagogy helps athletes to develop a strong foundation, both technically and psychologically. This book, "Pedagogy in Sport", examines a wide range of topics, from the definition of sport pedagogy to its history, from education for different age groups to the pedagogical role of coaches. It also covers ethical dimensions and psychological well-being in sports education, focusing on important areas such as motivation enhancement, game-based learning, and pedagogical effects of cultural and gender differences.

This work aims to provide the necessary pedagogical knowledge for athletes and coaches to be effective in their educational processes. It also aims to make educational processes more efficient and meaningful by providing practical suggestions and strategies on how to apply pedagogical principles in sports education.
