A renewed focus on Physical Education in New South Wales primary schools has the potential to act as an intervention that has positive long-term implications for the whole population. The introduction of physical education (PE) as part of the National Curriculum means the role of PE in Australian primary schools is now open for renewed attention. The rise of an international obesity epidemic means that that the role of PE in primary schools has the potential to make a positive impact on public health outcomes. There could be significant long term savings from well-organized PE programs in primary schools delivered by teaching staff educated in quality physical education. In addition there is also an historical and emerging body of research which links physical activity to academic performance. However not all teachers in primary schools have the skills or life experiences to effectively teach PE. In order to achieve these outcomes we posit that the use of a Game Centered Teaching approach and the use of an underlying pedagogy have the potential to provide more meaningful experiences for students and teachers. In order to implement a Game Centered Teaching approach we advocate the use of specialist PE teachers rather than outsourcing the delivery of PE in schools.

Phonics is a widely implemented teaching approach in primary schools in many English speaking countries. Through a flexural development, the teaching approach has been proved to be an efficient way of improving children’s decoding, spelling and general reading ability. This paper reports case study of presenting phonics to 10 students in Grade 3 in China. The study shows that phonics teaching can help the students to form a connection between words and their pronunciation, hence help students to acquire the ability to decode and spell new words in their further reading.

Primary school students generally lack motivation for learning physics, which they perceive as a difficult subject. In order to overcome this problem, it is necessary to apply appropriate teaching approach. The aim of this research was to assess the educational efficiency of mind maps in physics and students’ involvement when this approach is used. A pre-test – post-test control group design was used. The sample of this research consisted of 113 seventh-grade students divided into an experimental and a control group. The students in the experimental group were taught physics using mind maps and the students in the control group were taught using conventional teaching approach. The data were collected by using two physics knowledge tests and perceived mental effort scale. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, t-test and chi-square test. The obtained results showed that the educational efficiency of teaching with the use of mind maps was greater than the efficiency of conventional teaching approach. Besides that, the students’ involvement in the experimental group was higher than the one in the control group. The implementation of mind maps in teaching physics in primary schools can increase students’ motivation for learning physics and lower their mental effort.

Class Context

This study focused on the collaborative practice of two teacher educators who implemented a co-teaching intervention with a large class of first-year student teachers. The research arose from the teacher educators’ wish to increase the range and nature of participation of students in the large class setting and to model co-teaching for the students who would be expected to engage in such practice themselves in primary schools. The aims of the study were to explore the use of co-teaching in the large class context as a support for student participation and students’ meta-learning about co-teaching. In three separate 50-minute workshops, students were provided with samples of a child’s work and were required to work in pairs or groups of three in order to come to conclusions about his current level of performance and to develop possible learning targets arising. Data were collected using a short, online survey. The student cohort was very positive in terms of  the effectiveness of the co-teaching approach in helping them to understand the concepts and allowing more active engagement. Further, students were able to articulate their learning with regard to using the co-teaching approach. From the researchers’ perspectives co-teaching was very useful in terms of increasing student participation and replicating a learning context that might be more usual with much smaller groups.  Further, it allowed for provision of formative feedback both during and following the co-taught sessions that would not otherwise have been feasible.  Finally, it allowed the student voice to be heard within the large class context.

The present study examined age differences in time-based prospective memory (TBPM) in primary school age children and tested the role of self-initiated memory retrieval and strategic time monitoring (TM) as possible developmental mechanisms. Fifty-four children were recruited from local primary schools (27 younger children, mean age = 7.2 ± 0.55 years, and 27 older children, mean age = 9.61 ± 0.71 years). The task was a driving game scenario in which children had to drive a vehicle (ongoing task) and to remember to refuel before the vehicle runs out of gas (TBPM task, i.e., the fuel gauge served as child-appropriate time equivalent). Fuel gauge was either displayed permanently (low level of self-initiation) or could only be viewed on demand by hitting a button (high level of self-initiation). The results revealed age-dependent TBPM differences with better performance in older children. In contrast, level of self-initiated memory retrieval did not affect TBPM performance. However, strategies of TM influenced TBPM, as more frequent time checking was related to better performance. Patterns of time checking frequency differed according to children’s age and course of the game, suggesting difficulties in maintaining initial strategic TM in younger children. Taken together, the study revealed ongoing development of TBPM across primary school age. Observed age differences seemed to be associated with the ability to maintain strategic monitoring.
