How did we end up here?
Wanted to think differently about course design – What is a ‘physically educated’ student?
Concerned about an over-reliance on standards for course design
Curiosity around scholarship (esp. students not taking PE)
Pancake effect in interdisciplinary environments
Concern that students physical education discipline knowledge is often siloed.
Today we hope to:
EXPLORE threshold concepts in PE together
And
CONSIDER the use of threshold concepts in senior PE course design
