Engagement

Reading time: 2 minutes

Physical education has an essential role in enhancing the engagement of students within the school setting. Research published by Gray Treacy Hall established that physical education curriculums which are perceived by the students to be “socially and culturally relevant” are far more likely to see enhanced levels of engagement than those which are less relevant. The research also suggests that the most engaged pupils were those who engaged in pupil feedback and felt like their voices were being heard.
