I have been lamenting on this for our practise for some time, i.e. how we introduce movement evaluation cues directly as teaching cues to our learners.

Basketball as a 'concept' (Figure 1) for a unit of work is different to a concept based PE curriculum 'packaging' knowledge of the PE as a discipline into themes (Figure 2). Basketball as a concept might be the focus of one term of PE which is dedicated to the theme: education in movement.

I must say that every one of my articles were written as a result of an observation, some experience, some reading and connecting it to what I think I need to do better as a Physical Education (PE) teacher.
