| Course description |
This module offers teachers the opportunity to investigate and evaluate the impact of contemporary developments in PE and its related fields and consider how these developments have influenced, or are likely to influence, practice in their schools. This is particularly pertinent as developments within PE, youth sport and young people's health-related physical activity have been substantial in recent years, particularly with the introduction of the national physical activity strategy and review of PE. |
