Physical Education Quality: the EUPEA experience on the construction of The European Physical Education Observatory
17 November, 15h00-15h30
In this presentation, an experience from which EUPEA became involved as an active partner in the construction of a digital platform to collect and systematically analyze information on the quality of European Physical Education will be analyzed. This Erasmus Plus Sport project, funded by the European Commission, has been developing for 3 years, since January 2018, and is now in its terminal phase. Several countries are participating by partners as associations of Physical Education teachers and higher education and research institutions. This presentation will focus on the content of the platform (dimensions and indicators of quality Physical Education), the system (instruments) for collecting and analyzing information. The most significant results of the pilot study will also be presented. Moreover, the process partnership has undertaken to carry out the project will also be analyzed. Co-authors: João Costa, Dora Carolo and Claude Scheuer.
