| Description | The paper presents the results of a subproject pursued within the School and Health for the 21st Century (Škola a zdraví pro 21. století) research project (2005-2011). The subproject focuses on physical education in lower primary schools. It deals with the projected and implemented curriculum of physical education as well as pupils’ overall daily physical activity. The research methods include content analysis of documents, systematic observation of the interaction in physical education classes, standardised controlled interviews, questionnaires, day time records, and modelling of the physical education curriculum. In addition, educational documents containing the projected curriculum of physical education were analysed. Other deployed methods involve research samples representative of the Czech Republic citizens and available samples of primary school teachers and pupils. The results provide a basis for physical education modelling in lower primary schools. This modelling contains the intervention project Pupils on the Move (Školáci v pohybu) influencing the interaction between the teacher and pupils in physical education classes, pupils’ school and out-of-school physical activity, and monitoring of pupils’ health and fitness. The aim of physical education modelling is to contribute to the optimisation of the physical regimen of primary school pupils. |
