Wallace, Laura; Buchan, Duncan; Sculthorpe, Nicholas – European Physical Education Review, 2020
This study examined whether single-gender or mixed-gender PE lessons were more conducive to increasing the physical activity levels of girls. One hundred and twenty girls (12--15 years) wore a wGT3x+ActiGraph accelerometer while participating in basketball games. Time spent in low (LPA), moderate (MPA), vigorous (VPA), and moderate-to-vigorous…

Banville, Dominique; Dyson, Ben; Kulinna, Pamela H; Stylianou, Michalis – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Teacher efficacy influences what and how they teach. This may be particularly important to consider in Aotearoa New Zealand contexts where primary classroom teachers teach health and physical education and use physical activity breaks with little training. It remains unclear how classroom teachers perceive this role and how to better support them.…

Lamb, Penny; King, Graham – European Physical Education Review, 2020
This study highlights a complementary partnership between physical education and foreign language learning, endorsing the potential of an applied learning context as an alternative pedagogical platform. A pedagogic model of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) within physical education was adopted to explore the capacity for improving…

Metcalfe, Sarah Nicola; Lindsey, Iain – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Gendered differences in participation in active lifestyles (encompassing sport, physical activity, and physical education) are well established, with young men typically participating in more activities than young women. This paper uses a theoretical approach inspired by Bourdieu's notions of habitus, field and capital to explore the 'how' and…

Clohessy, Liam; Bowles, Richard; Ní Chróinín, Déirdre – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Class swapping is the process whereby a generalist primary school teacher with a particular subject expertise and interest swaps classes with a teacher colleague and they teach each other's class a specific area of the curriculum. Instances of class swapping for physical education (PE) have been noted in many countries, but there is currently no…

Liu, Jiling; Xiang, Ping; McBride, Ron E.; Chen, Han – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Self-regulated learning is critical to student academic success as well as healthy lifestyles. Although widely conducted among students from various disciplines, self-regulated learning research seems not to have paid much attention to preservice physical education teachers. Attempting to amend this literature gap as well as inform the current…

Caldeborg, Annica; Öhman, Marie – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Research within the field of intergenerational touch has shown that there is a tension between the need to use physical contact as an obvious pedagogical tool, and the no-touch discourse. Within this tension physical contact between physical education teachers and students has also been shown to be a gender/ed issue with heteronormative points of…

To, Quyen G.; Wharton, Lee; Gallegos, Danielle; Stylianou, Michalis; Do, Dung V.; To, Kien G.; Tran, Hanh T. M.; Trost, Stewart G. – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Information about the Vietnamese physical education (PE) programme is limited due to a lack of relevant studies. Using the Health Optimising Physical Education as a conceptual framework, this study examined students' physical activity (PA) levels in the fifth-grade PE programme in Vietnam and barriers to programme implementation. Eight schools (28…

Ní Chróinín, Déirdre; McMullen, Jaimie – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Understanding factors that influence children's participation in sport and physical activity is critical to designing more appealing youth opportunities and programmes. Whole-of-school initiatives offer one way to promote children's physical activity, but little is understood about how celebration within these initiatives influences children's…

Washburn, Nicholas S.; Richards, K. Andrew R.; Sinelnikov, Oleg A. – European Physical Education Review, 2020
Physical education (PE) teachers' interpersonal sentiments and behaviours towards students during class define their motivating styles. These motivating styles range from those that support student autonomy to those that pressure students to think and behave in certain ways. Motivating styles are believed to develop through teachers' prior…

Ní Chróinín, Déirdre; Fletcher, Tim; Jess, Mike; Corr, Méabh – European Physical Education Review, 2020
While there may be some broad agreement about the purposes of primary physical education, there is dramatic variance in how these purposes are prioritised and enacted. Primary physical education consequently focusses on multiple, often competing, priorities. To gain a better understanding of this issue we review how different stakeholders view the…
