Physical Education, Core Experiences, Special Education, Individual Needs, Accommodations, Differentiation, Programme, Broad Curriculum, Developmental Approach, Structure, Sports, Competition, Special Educational Needs, Preoccupation, P.E, Experience, Person CentredAbstract
Physical education in our schools often tends to show a preoccupation with sporting activities and competitive experiences. Learning in physical education, especially where special needs are concerned, needs to be more “person centred". A programme of core experiences can greatly contribute to a broader developmental approach.
