Physical Literacy is...? What Teachers Really Know
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Physical education has been identified as an opportune way to develop physical literacy, and Whitehead (2010) notes the crucial role teachers play in developing and fostering physical literacy. Due to the critical role that teachers play in the development of physical literacy it is important that they understand this concept. The purpose of this study was to explore what current teachers of physical education understand about physical literacy. Teachers (N=106) in a Canadian province completed a questionnaire regarding their understanding of physical literacy and its implementation in physical education. Findings indicate a wide range of comprehension and confusion about how physical literacy is incorporated into instruction in the physical education curriculum. Ultimately, further work is required to alleviate confusion surrounding physical literacy so teachers can effectively help children develop physical literacy to be active over the lifespan. Keywords: physical literacy, physical education, teachers, specialists, generalists L’education physique est reconnue comme une discipline appropriee pour developer la litteratie physique et Whitehead (2010) affirme que les enseignants ont un role crucial dans le developpement de cette litteratie. Etant donne ce role crucial des enseignants, il est important qu’ils / ells comprennent ce concept. Le but de cette etude est d’explorer la comprehension de ce concept demontree par des enseignants d’education physique. Des enseignants (n=106) d’une province canadienne ont complete un questionnaire portant sur leur comprehension de la litteratie physique et sur sa concretisation en education physique. Les resultats revelent des comprehensions tres diverses et de la confusion sur les facons d’incorporer la litteratie physique dans l’enseignement de l’education physique. Ultimement, un travail important sera exige pour dissiper la confusion a propos du concept pour que les enseignants puissent aider les enfants a developper leur litteratie physique et ainsi etre actifs tout au long de leur vie. Mots cles: litteratie physique; education physique; enseignants specialistes; enseignants generalistes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
