| Summary | This course supports students' knowledge and understanding of physical education in the early years of secondary schooling. The course extends the study of curriculum, pedagogy and professional learning discourses introduced in PEC&P 1 through an on-going investigation of contemporary professional, policy, academic and research literature. With a focus on recent policy developments, the course examines traditional and contemporary approaches to physical education curriculum and pedagogy across the early years of secondary schooling in Scotland. In addition, the course supports students' on-going self- regulation of their professional learning efforts in various physical education contexts, particularly through a series of school visits and a six week school experience placement in the early secondary school setting. |
