Hyndman, Brendon – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2021
This article explores the importance of embedding Active Exploration teaching approaches within PE lessons and how the provision of differing equipment and divergent learning opportunities can enable choice for students to then 'self-discover' solutions to movement problems. The article showcases how Active Exploration approaches to teaching PE…

Saunders-Stewart, Katie S.; Gyles, Petra D. T.; Shore, Bruce M. – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2012
Curricular reform efforts are underway in many countries, focused on adopting inquiry-based approaches to teaching and learning. Therefore, it is increasingly important to understand what outcomes students attain in inquiry environments. Derived from a literature review, a 23-item, criterion-referenced inventory is presented for theoretically…
