Abstract

As Singapore moves into the endemic stage of managing COVID-19, there has been a greater emphasis on blended learning in schools to minimise disruptions to learning. Our students need to be ready to face the rapidly changing world and thrive in collaborative learning environments while demonstrating resilience, inclusiveness, empathy and good decision-making skills. How do we nurture our students to become self-directed and reflective learners through PE? How do we create a culture of thinking and learning in PE? How do we develop character in PE? How do we leverage technology to personalize learning and provide authentic experiences for them. In this presentation, two Singapore PE teachers will share on how they design their lessons to nurture self-directed learners through practical strategies underpinned by assessment and feedback literacy. Observations include higher student engagement, positive and inclusive classroom culture and thinking players who deliberate on their actions, behaviour and choices.
