We had our Policy Provocation Panel in PECP4 today @uoe-pe.bsky.social Great to hear such a range of perspectives and some bold(er) interpretations from our panel members. It was especially nice to have some of our Year 4 students joining the panel.

We did it @uoe-pe.bsky.social. Working with Brodie Runciman and Karen Munro we shared the MA PE programme at the #SATPE conference as part of our re-accreditation journey. Some excellent feedback and comments from delegates. Thanks to everyone who came to see us.

In this article, a few people picked up that adaptability is part of what makes ‘good’ teaching. That feels especially relevant now, with the current discussions within Scotland’s curriculum improvement cycle. If you’re interested, you can find the article here: brill.com/view/journal...

Filling classrooms with computers didn't have the huge and positive impact on learning that was promised. Filling them with tablets hasn't done it either. I know this might sound absurd to many (especially politicians) but what if we filled them with highly skilled and properly supported educators?

As part of the Fringe, the Centre for Events & Festival is having its launch and debate event at Thomson's Land, Moray House, Tues, 5 Aug. It will be a public debate on the question: Do large scale cultural festivals deliver more social value than major sporting events? I'll be co-moderating!

Text continued:

OVERVIEW
'CEF Debates' bring together practitioners and professors to interrogate pressing issues and challenges facing events and festivals.

Modelled on Cambridge and Oxford University's method, each debate starts with a simple and provocative 'Motion' with speaker(s) split into the 'Proposition' (for) vs. 'Opposition' (against).

After Opening Statements, a lively battle of wits commence, followed by Closing Statements -- then, the 'House' (that's you -- the physical and virtual audience) votes for either side, or chooses to abstain.

And the best bit... CEF Debates not only helps tickle your intellect but also meet old friends, new faces, and broaden your network over wine, soft drinks and nibbles!

PROGRAMME
14:30 -- Registration and refreshments
15:00 -- Welcome by CEF and University of Edinburgh
15:10 --- CEF launch
15:30 -- Debate chairs introduce motion and speakers
15:40 -- Opening statements, debate, closing statements
16:40 -- House votes, results, and closing remarks
17:00-18:-- -- Social time, with food and drink.

PROPOSITION
Lyndsey Jackson, Edinburgh Fringe Festival Society
Dr Jane Ali-Knight, Edinburgh Napier University

vs.

OPPOSITION
Iain Edmondson, Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race and Legacy Delivery Ltd
Dr David McGillivray, University of the West of Scotland

CHAIRED BY
Dr Mike Duignan, CEF and University of Paris 1
Dr Matt McDowell, University of Edinburgh

The further you are from key decisions about the game, the more likely it is you are playing formal sport. In Physical Education this can mean skills and tactics become a priority focus. In sport, it can mean being locked into a format that lacks flexibility. doi.org/10.1177/0193...

Very much enjoying my time here in Japan with Ken Kubo. I’m learning how they use Lesson Study to build learning communities between universities and schools. Great to see and observe lots of PE classes in schools…many similarities and plenty differences.
