You may still find older teachers and school curriculum still clinging to it. It doesn’t help that evaluation process across subjects prefer clear quantitative data to compare teacher performances. This means that precise movements are needed in push-ups and sit-ups to trigger the automatic count. Or is it not?

The mention of such points may get you going as a teacher or result in a large sigh of exasperation that there are always folks trying to intellectualise the field of PE when it should be dead simple. These are words that practitioners may not have the effort and time bandwidth to differentiate or understand their academic vs literal use.

The big assumption I made here (not the best assumption for a holistic picture of PE but adequate for what I want to share here) is that skill acquisition is a big part of our job as PE teachers and it is necessary for us to think about it in order to do better. It is a challenge to see this in perspective.

This paper explore the ecological perspective to the complexity existence that skills learning takes place in, i.e. why and how movement emerges. This is perhaps opposed to the more palatable perspective of skills learning as solely mechanical and existing in a ‘simple’ environment of learner and teacher, i.e. how movement is created.

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. This is especially so when compared to the academic subjects where results of test and exams are very popular indicators of success.

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. Much of the cues we derive from ideal movement solution may mean little to novices who are still exploring their own range of movement adaptations.

It’s Losing Ground in Our Push for Academic Achievement.” In it, Jay Mathews makes the case that when schools are looking to cut the budget, PE is the first to go, despite the fact that there is a positive correlation between PE and academic achievement. The same thing happens to other programs like music, art, or drama.

One of the most frustrating things that happen on a way too frequent basis is students who don't go to PE because they are held back by a classroom teacher. The pressures of academic achievement mean that things are sacrificed at the altar of grades. The student being held back is almost always from upper elementary or middle school.
