Abstract

Overall, this thesis provides a number of evidence-based studies to address the requirements and methods through which physical skills are developed and assessed in primary school children. With practical requirements at the fore, this work serves to aid teachers and educators in delivering a standardised, evidence based curricula of comprehensive physical education. Additionally, the thesis raises questions about the adequacy of existing theory, policy and practices that lack the empirical validation and offers a useful insight into how this might be rectified in the future.
