We had to do intelligent thinking during recent PE: students' and teachers' experiences of assessment for learning in post-primary physical education

Young people’s voices in sport

Youth voices in physical education and sport: what are they telling us?

MacPhail, Ann (Prentice Hall, 2011)

Chasing a ball around a pitch seems pretty futile to me. In basketball or a sport like that, someone jumps up for a ball and, even if they don t catch it, everyone cheers. All very strange! It s at these times that I really ...
