Exploring the concept of physical education curriculum redesign

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the concept of physical education redesign. Methods Studies on curriculum redesign, physical education curriculum redesign and the revised 2015 physical education curriculum were collected and analysed. Results First, three different types of curriculum redesign were discussed. Second, there was no clear concept of physical education redesign. Third, both ‘learning content area’ and ‘standard achievement’ were related to the physical education curriculum redesign. Conclusions Two different aspects of physical education curriculum redesign emerged. Establishing the clear concept of physical education curriculum redesign and presenting the concept in the next national physical education curriculum were suggested.
