The purpose of primary physical education
This paper reports on the first phase of a longitudinal project investigating the perceived purposes that different stakeholders have for primary physical education (PE). In the study, the views of 19 teacher educators from seven countries across Europe were sought. While teacher educators may have some influence across the layers of an education system, little is known about this stakeholder group and their views about primary PE. Analysis of fo…
‘We want to, but we can’t’
A growing trend in primary schools in recent times has been to outsource Physical Education (PE) to external sport and activity providers. The impact of this has not yet been examined on new teachers entering the profession. Drawing upon Critical Theory, this paper aims to explore and understand pre-service teachers’ (PSTs) school-based experience of learning and teaching in primary PE. A total of 625 PSTs took part in the study, representing a v…
Student experiences of learning how to teach primary physical education during the Covid-19 pandemic
This paper offers a snapshot into the unexpected and yet positive results of a small-scale survey about learning to teach Physical Education within initial teacher education and school-based settings. It shares data from four institutions about how pre-service teachers explained their learning and teaching experiences within Physical Education during the COVID-19 pandemic, often working within a number of social and physical restrictions and teac…
Enabling dialogic, democratic research
Philosophy for Children is a pedagogical approach practised worldwide.Although well known for its contribution to democratic teaching and learning its contribution to critical research is relatively unknown.In this paper we present the use of a Community of Enquiry (CoE), as conceptualised in Philosophy for Children, as a qualitative research method that foregrounds participant voice.Framed through Freirean critical pedagogy and social transforma…
A realist case study inquiry of English primary school physical activity initiatives
Concern that children are not engaging in enough physical activity (PA) to bring about health benefits is a crisis globally. This paper aims to examine primary school-based PA initiatives from within an English context. A qualitative inquiry was adopted and underpinned by the socio-ecological model. The study was presented through a realist case study of three selected primary schools to reveal a collection of context-mechanism-outcome statements…

Intersecting Identities
This article discusses older women's participation in local political parties in the London area. Its analytical framework draws on intersectionality as a perspective together with feminist political science and political gerontology. Empirically, it refers to research in seven parliamentary constituencies, based primarily on semi-structured interviews, focusing on roles, activities and contribution; underlying motivation; and experiences of marg…

Childcare Policy and Local Partnerships under Labour
This article is concerned with explaining the relatively disappointing results of the Labour government's National Childcare Strategy to date, with particular emphasis on the role of the EYDCPs (Early Years Development and Childcare Partnerships). After briefly describing and assessing childcare policy under Labour, it suggests that limited outcomes partly reflect the constraining legacy of previous policy and provision, but must also be related …

Using and abusing the concept of the Third World
This article argues that, while the notion of a ‘Third World’ retains relevance and usefulness in the context of geopolitical analysis, generalisations about Third World politics are no longer helpful or justifiable. It begins by reviewing the historic rationales for the notion of the Third World together with criticisms made of these arguments. It then considers reasons why the term may retain some value at a geopolitical level: in signalling a …

Feminism and Child Daycare
This article explores some of the main reasons why feminist mobilisation around the issue of child daycare in Britain has been so limited and its impact so modest. It describes this mobilisation, comparing it with experience in other countries and with mobilisation on other issues. It suggests that the modest achievement to date is largely attributable to factors other than the lack of feminist pressure. Indeed feminist reservations were partly a…
The Irresponsible State? The Politics of Child Daycare Provision in Britain
This article seeks to shed light on the scarcity of public child daycare provision in Britain. Following a brief account of the development of policy since the Second World War, it notes the institutional and discursive fragmentation of the process through which child-care policy has been resolved. However, it concentrates on the way that process has been shaped by the intersection of two variables, the type of issue constituted by child care and…
