Sport was conceptualised in a variety of ways by those intervi…

    Ben Dyson, Barrie Gordon et al.ARTICLEAsia-Pacific Journal of Health…2011

    Physical education has historically held an important place as an identified learning area within the wider New Zealand curriculum.

This paper considers the changes that have occurred in the teaching of physical education in primary schools (5 years - 12 years) since the introduction of the Health and Physical Edu…
