All children enjoying and learning in Physical Education

Abstract

ABSTRACT A student mobility project combining face-to-face and distance working time, supervised by two trainers from teacher training centres, focuses on the inclusion of pupils with special needs in physical and sports education. The partnership between the Haute Ecole Pédagogique du canton de Vaud in Switzerland and the Centro de Estudios Superiores Alberta Giménez in Palma de Mallorca in Spain are collaborating for the first time during the 2019-2020 academic year on a research project. The numerous class visits, both in Palma and in the canton of Vaud, were the highlight of this project. The class visits were accompanied by work and reflection sessions on the inclusion of pupils with special needs in physical and sports education. The implications of these inclusive practices for the pupil concerned, peers and teachers were also discussed and researched.
