Abstract

Aims:

  • To conduct further studies in Sport Education (SE);
  • To promote and disseminate this new pedagogy to more professionals in the Physical Education Unit and secondary schools;
  • To promote global citizenship and entrepreneurial mindset of students;
  • To enhance innovation and design abilities of students;
  • To equip PE lecturers with pedagogical understanding and skills required for implementation of SE instructional model.
Major deliverables of the project:
  • Physical Literacy Symposium;
  • SE website development;
  • Longitudinal study on effects of SE.
Physical Literacy Symposium:
  • To share the good practice of SE among colleagues/practitioners and discuss any advantages and challenges on the teaching and learning process;
  • To distribute and carry out SE courseware and professional development symposiums to all PEU colleagues, UGC funded institutions and selected secondary schools.
SE website development:
  • To develop a platform with teaching plan, material and intervention in the SE curriculum for cross-institutional pedagogical exchanges;
  • To serve as a guideline for SE curriculum development in the Education Bureau.
Longitudinal study on effects of SE:
  • To carry out an 18-month longitudinal study to gain a better understanding on the effects of SE to students;
  • To use accelerometers and survey for the measurement of physical activity levels and physical literacy of the students respectively.

Brief write-up

Project objectives

To conduct further studies in Sport Education (SE); to promote and disseminate this new pedagogy to more professionals in the Physical Education Unit (PEU) and secondary schools; to promote global citizenship and entrepreneurial mindset of students; to enhance innovation and design abilities of students; to equip physical education lecturers with pedagogical understanding and skills required for the implementation of SE instructional model.

Activities, process and outcomes

Organized Greater China Region Physical Literacy Symposium; Conducted three-phase surveys on online and hybrid teaching modes; Measured students’ outcomes of physical literacy-related correlates.

Deliverables and evaluation

Regardless whether online or hybrid teaching modes are utilized, physical education programmes could motivate students to participate in daily physical activities during the pandemic period.

Dissemination, diffusion, impact and sharing of good practices

One workshop in PEU; one symposium with two workshops and 18 presentations; three manuscripts; one courseware; one oral presentation in international conference; one poster presentation in Teaching and Learning Innovation Expo. These disseminations could serve as a reference for other universities, secondary and primary schools in Hong Kong and Greater China Region.

Impact on teaching and learning

Teachers believed that SE could develop students’ physical literacy but they indicate some issues relating to the implementation. Although they recognized the goal of physical literacy, their receptivity may affect the degree to which they apply the curriculum and offset any positive influence on the students’ value and understanding of participating in lifelong physical activities.
