This is excellent. Guy Claxton explains “the sciences of learning” and the complexity of teaching. Thats why it is a profession. Physical Education demands varied pedagogical approaches for embodied cognition. Honestly, have a listen. open.substack.com/pub/aecnz/…

Physical education is not fitness instruction. It is a well established cross-discipline taught in the compulsory phase of schooling by experts. It provides a bedrock for human movement for life - #MoveToLearn #LoveToMove@aiesep⁩ ⁦@PHECanada⁩ ⁦@EUPEA_tweet

Hot debate about AI in PETE - here is one paper to consider and stimulate debate @mrskaukau @PENZ_TeAoKori @kyliejthompson @alan_ovens @RPhilpot3 @BurrowsLisette @PetrieKirsten @Chrisj_North
Are you using #ChatGPT in your #physed research? We just published this #OpenAccess in @JTPEjournal It’s about the potential (good and bad) of AI to change research and PETE. It can speed research up but also has HUGE ethics issues. journals.humankinetics.com/d…

Tune in tonight to hear about the impact that @UCbetterstart is having on the literacy skills of NZ children and how @UCNZ is ensuring beginning teachers are being prepared to implement evidence-based teaching practices in literacy. @AkoResearchUC #paddygowerhasissues
There are way too many Kiwis who can’t read properly. This literacy mess is holding us back as a country. I call it our “Reading Emergency”. This is an issue for all of us and is rightly first up for #paddygowerhasissues 7.30pm TONIGHT. 💜 newshub.co.nz/home/entertain…
