PE, Sport and Youth Development - my claims are provisional, tentative proposals, open to criticism and subject to rejection should new evidence appear.

Thinking out loud:

Coming back to this question about ‘essential’ knowledge in a Health & Fitness SoL and then the structure and sequencing of it. The focus of responses seems to be mainly on content rather than what we want pupils to do with the knowledge. This issue is framed by Wiggins and McTighe as the Twin Sins of Planning. Sin 1 - activity focused plan (pupils participate in a variety of activities but to no real end). Sin 2 - coverage focused teaching (ticking off a checklist of content).

Some thinking out loud about PE, purpose and priority.

What is the purpose of a physical education? For me personally it is to ‘nurture the physically educated person.’ Can PE (the school subject) do this by itself? I don’t think so. Firstly it takes a village to physically educate a child - parents, teachers, schools, youth clubs, public health, the local environment etc. all working together to either make a positive contribution (or not).

Let’s not be afraid, then, to meet the world with words.

But let these be words of greeting, not confrontation; of questioning, not of interrogation or interview; of response, not of representation; of anticipation, not of prediction.

Words of craftsmen. Image Embodied views suggest that:
1) Cognition goes on outside of the head as well as in it.
2) The primary job of perception and cognition is not to represent the world but instead to adapt to it.
3) Things only have priorities in relation to one another. Image
