Report on Physical Education in Secondary Schools 1998-99

Abstract

This report summarises the findings from inspections of PE in 37 post-primary schools during the period September 1998 to June 1999. The visits focused on teaching and learning, and the standards of performance and understanding of the pupils; in particular, attention was given to the teaching approaches used to encourage and develop the planning, performing and evaluating skills of the pupils during PE. The report includes illustrations of good practice which were observed during visits to schools. These illustrations are highlighted throughout the report and are intended to be used by head teachers, teachers and lecturers, members of the curriculum and advisory support staff (CASS) of the education and library boards, and all those interested in, or responsible for, PE in post-primary schools.
