The Application of Cross-Curricular Competences in the Teaching of Physical and Health Education Subjects in the Context of External Evaluation of Schools

Abstract

The aim of this work is to direct advocacy activities in the field of education for the application of the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC) in teaching and extracurricular activities, especially in the subject of Physical and Health Education. The problem discussed in the paper is under-researched in literature worldwide, although it is relevant for all stakeholders involved in formal and informal education, including decision-makers, teachers, teacher education experts, and experts in the development of teaching and learning programmes. The authors opted to review materials and manuals in order to reflect on democratic competences and their application in the teaching of the subject Physical and Health Education, through the method of analysing the results of external evaluation. We expect this paper to be the basis for further professional and scientific analysis, so that the subject of Physical and Health Education may be given a role that makes it comprehensive and significant not only in the educational process but also in the process of educating children and students.
