13. The Specification

14. Key features of the specifications • A straightforward structure with clear focussed content. • Support, resources and teacher guidance. • A wide variety of practical activities to choose from in the NEA component. • Learners are introduced to a wide range of topics enabling them to fully experience the subject. • Learners will see ‘where they fit in’ with sport and how to improve their performance • A use of data /quantitative skills element, enabling learners to develop their knowledge and understanding of subject specific skills • A clear basis and a good introduction for those learners who wish to move on from GCSE or AS or GCE Physical Education and take their study to the next level.

15. Aims and learning outcomes 1: GCSE • GCSE study in physical education should be broad, coherent and practical, encourage leaners to be inspired, motivated and challenged by the subject and enable them to make informed decisions about further learning opportunities and career pathways. • GCSE specifications in physical education will equip leaners with the knowledge, understanding, skills and values to develop and maintain their performance in physical activities and understand the benefits to health, fitness and well-being.

16. Aims and learning outcomes 2: GCSE Continued This will require them to: • develop theoretical knowledge and understanding of the factors that underpin physical activity and sport and use this knowledge to improve performance • understand how the physiological and psychological state affects performance in physical activity and sport • perform effectively in different physical activities by developing skills and techniques and selecting and using tactics, strategies and/or compositional ideas • develop their ability to analyse and evaluate to improve performance in physical activity and sport • understand the contribution which physical activity and sport make to health, fitness and well-being • understand key socio-cultural influences which can affect people’s involvement in physical activity and sport.

17. GCSE • Currently – 60% controlled assessment, 40% examined content. • New – 40% Non-exam assessment, 60% examined content. • This change affects all boards.
