Reinventing the Game

NOVEMBER 30, 2022

In my bigger teaching environment, much effort is also put into the character and citizenship development of the leaners and this role is expected of all teachers, including the academic teachers with clear examinable performance indicators.

Precision in Physical Education (PE) – What is its role? My personal belief is that the younger the age group of learners, the more worthwhile to understand better the physiological processes at work within the learner and the behaviour exhibited in response to task and environment.

In this blog, I connect back to an idea I have discussed before in relation to games based teaching here , that is making a physical education program meaningful. biomechanics, skill acquisition, exercise physiology, etc).

It has long been argued that teaching and coaching must be based on sound, rigorous research and systematic evidence of what works, how and why it works, where it works and for whom it works (Slavin, 2002). In youth sport, a mastery climate has been shown to promote higher levels of engagement (e.g., Curran et al.,
