“…On the one hand, competition can be seen as an effective tool to help develop skills, encourage physical activity, build character, appreciate and respect others, and prepare children for 'real life' [8][9][10]. PE lessons throughout the years have been seen as the ideal setting for allowing children to explore how to cope with winning and losing to develop good sporting behaviours [11]. Yet, Richardson [12] found that two-thirds of children aged eight to sixteen reacted badly when they lost and, moreover, their parents also behaved badly when watching their children lose.…”

“…Helping children to understand and cope with both success and failure and develop the determination and resilience that come from pursuing measurable goals is a worthy learning experience. Competition, in whatever format it comes, however, needs to be delivered in a 'positive learning climate' [11] (p. 135). Even when setting low challenges, some children fail to achieve success.…”

“…The challenge for all PE teachers is to create learning opportunities in their PE lessons that engage all students. Trying to achieve lofty goals associated with developing a lifetime passion for physical activity can be particularly challenging when dealing with children whose perception of their own levels of physical competence is low [11]. For these children, participating in competitive activities, particularly those that reinforce their low self-esteem, can be problematic.…”

To date, little research on competition has focused on young children (6–7-year-olds). A total of ninety-seven participants (51 boys and 46 girls) from two English primary schools completed two physical education (PE) lessons, which included three different activity challenges. The control group undertook the same activities in both lessons. The experimental group did likewise but were set high-, low-, or mid-level targets in lesson two based on individual scores from lesson one. The children completed a post-session questionnaire to assess (i) enjoyment levels and (ii) which activity they perceived they performed best in. The results found that children both improved and enjoyed the lesson most when low- or mid-level targets were set. Indeed, when targets were absent (in the control group), children’s competency scores regressed. Likewise, children perceived that they performed best in the activity where lower targets were set. Their perceived competency included both tangible and intangible reasons. From these results, it is recommended that for practitioners working with 6–7-year-old children, the most effective learning in competition uses individualised and competitive targets and challenges as a means to garner greater enjoyment in PE. Understanding each child’s self-efficacy and motivation is key, which requires ongoing evaluation and assessment during PE lessons.

“…For example, Strong et al (2005) found evidence that physical activity had a positive influence on memory and concentration. Pickard and Maude (2014) pointed to dance increasing wider educational attainment, whereas Lucas et al (2013) suggested creativity raises achievement increasing test results (Watkins, 2010). Sowden et al (2015) showed divergent thinking and creativity were enhanced following improvisation interventions, and Chappell (2007) demonstrated dance increased creativity.…”

Background: In the United Kingdom, creative dance is classified as part of physical education rather than an important core subject. Purpose: Taking the U.K. National Curriculum as an example, the article’s primary aim is to examine literature exploring the benefits of creative dance, for children aged 3 to 11 years in mainstream state education, to evaluate whether creative dance can be categorized as experiential learning. Methodology/Approach: The literature review included key words in several databases and arrived at potential benefits which can be framed within experiential learning. Findings/Conclusions: The findings identify benefits of creative dance in socioemotional, arts-based, transferable, embodied, physical, and cognitive learning. Conceptualizing creative dance as experiential learning could support it filling a more central role in the curriculum. Implications: This article recontextualizes the role of creative dance in children’s learning through reviewing related literature. Creative dance might play a more central role in the curriculum when the benefits and its process are framed as experiential learning.

“…Physical Education (PE) is known as an integral part of the national education curriculum that provides flexibility for PE teachers to manage and facilitate students to learn to move and move to learn (Kwon & Block, 2017;Pickard & Maude, 2021;Pratama et al, 2021). Learning to move implies becoming more physically competent, while moving to learn emphasises learners for having a range of understanding, attitudes and skills about working with others, honesty, sportsmanship, discipline, sharing space and equipment and more.…”

Physical education teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic generally used textbooks and video tutorials to visualize basic gymnastic movements. It makes it difficult for students to learn. This study aims to develop information, communication and technology/ICT Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge/TPACK-oriented gymnastics basic skills learning media for high-grade elementary school students. This type of research is development. This development research uses the ADDIE model design, which focuses on the analysis and design stages discussion. Data collection methods are observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The data collection instrument is a questionnaire. Data analysis in this study was carried out using descriptive quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results showed that first, 342 people (82%) of elementary school students needed ICT TPACK-oriented gymnastics basic skills learning media. Based on data analysis and discussion, this study concludes that elementary school students need learning media for basic ICT TPACK-oriented gymnastics skills. The motion assignments are designed on a combination of basic movement materials using a jumping table, balance movements on the floor and kayaks that are varied by the curriculum, guaranteeing the adequacy of learning motion. Some characters are internalized, and the safety and security of students are guaranteed.
