The main purpose of our project has been to propose a framework that supported the implementation of the health enhancing physical activity in schools on European level. The first steps intended to analyze the regulatory practice of the participating countries, through the examination and comparing of the following questions:
– Is the philosophy of the health-enhancing physical activity involved in the core curriculum contents (core curricula, frame curricula) in the participating states / EU member states;
– If yes, in what form? Is this approach tangible in all learning contexts (formal, informal, non-formal)?
– How quality-focused is the evaluation process of the learning outcomes in case of the P.E. class?
The purpose of our project has been the analyzation of core curricula and the national qualification frameworks of the relevant states in order to propose a European-level framework that supports the concept of quality physical education and aims the development of the principles and intervention areas of the health oriented physical education and health enhancing physical activity.
The project results have been formed as recommendations, titled as European framework on quality physical education (hereinafter: EFQPE) and Health-Conscious,Future-Oriented Life Management Key Competence (HCFOLM)
The project proposal strengthened the evidence base for policy-making and also promoted the dialogue with relevant European stakeholders, therefore contributed to the goals set in the Council Recommendation of 2013 on promoting health-enhancing physical activity across sectors. The proposal targeted promoting awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity, through increased participation, and equal access to sport for all.
