EXPLORING CHALLENGES IN AUSTRALIAN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULA PAST AND PRESENT
Journal Title: Journal of Physical Education & Health - Social Perspective - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Australian physical education (PE) is experiencing its second national curriculum reform attempt, with schools around the country at various stages of exploration and implementation of the Curriculum for Health and Physical Education (Australian Curriculum and Assessment Authority, 2014). This paper explores some of the challenges in physical education curriculum implementation past and present. The PE teacher is explained as the key architect of curricula at the school level and therefore the challenge of new curriculum implementation is not so much in the ‘rolling out’ of the artefact but in developing the subject expertise of PE teachers to be able to bring to life the curriculum expectation in the situated realities of the everyday pragmatics of the PE teacher. Principally, I argue the PE teacher must see their role as that of educational designer.
