Abstract Education is essential for addressing the global environmental crisis and engaging students through experiential learning crucial. In physical education, literacy offers a holistic approach to sustainable with plogging exemplifying this integration. This study investigates perceptions of Physical Teacher (PETE) regarding implementation in school curricula. Using qualitative interviews 80 PETE analysing responses NVIVO 12 software, reveals mixed feelings about innovative practice. Participants see as valuable fostering both awareness. However, concerns feasibility include need institutional support, curriculum flexibility community involvement. These findings highlight potential enhance educational programmes by combining activity stewardship. The results can inform development future strategies that integrate promote sustainability student development.

Abstract Braidotti describes the world as gasping for air collectively we face a range of socioecological challenges. Young people are important actors in these challenges, making schools critical space this work. Physical education (PE) can contribute through promoting relevant embodied encounters that develop students’ physical literacies (PL). Noting recent moves to extend notion physically literate individual include ecological, alongside Australian Curriculum requires teachers attend their learning area, cross-curriculum priorities and general capabilities including sustainability ethical capabilities, there exciting possibilities developing PL confront Despite opportunities, PE meaningfully, must progress from represented by sport techniques, linear pedagogies driven competition engages students think act differently world, ethically, ontologically epistemologically.

Abstract Following inter-/transdisciplinary ideas, environmental education inherently collaborates with other subjects, including physical education. As the work subjects might be jeopardised by differing worldviews and paradigms, it is worth illuminating compatible incompatible positions for work. In education, concept of literacy (PL) has recently gained considerable attention adopts a student-centred perspective on human existence learning. Therefore, goal present narrative integrative review was to existing literature at nexus between through PL lens (five pre-defined assumptions). After screening eligibility, total 129 articles were assigned five different thematic categories: (a) conceptual discussion/argumentative patterns, (b) curricular discussion international comparisons, (c) programming/intervention content, (d) teacher enabler perspectives (e) student outcomes/perspectives. The synthesis revealed that can harmonise educative when respecting disciplinary interests both However, few intervention studies translate holistic claims into interventions. Accordingly, evaluations teachers or students less frequently integrated learning experiences in line PL. summary, previous research not yet exhausted its full potential.

Background The holistic concept of physical literacy (PL) has gained growing attention in recent research, policy, and practice. Many important policy documents the activity educational fields (e.g., Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030 by World Health Organization, UNESCO’s Quality Education guidelines for policymakers) have specified PL. However, a clear framework action is needed, as most initiatives across world are fragmented, lack prospective orientation, can benefit from conceptual clarification, not linked to effective translation into Therefore, we aim consensually develop Literacy (GloPL) Framework define goals principles (asking what needed) well actions ways how these be achieved) move PL forward. Materials methods We apply three-stage group Delphi technique involving three representation groups: (a) geographical representatives achieve global coverage perspectives; (b) special thematic interest reflecting prominent gaps current activities; (c) societies broad field health facilitate dissemination. process will begin with an individual pre-Delphi exercise, which experts generate initial ideas framework, followed four-eye document analysis derive themes discussion. Subsequently, meet face-to-face online rounds discuss prioritize themes. Interspersed formal voting pre-defined agreement thresholds (via descriptive statistics) inform inclusion within final framework. Conclusions A consensus goals, principles, actions, development potential provide largely accepted roadmap future activities co-production approach help disseminate GloPL work relevant application worldwide.
