Formative assessment
Formative assessment shall help to promote learning and develop competence in the subject. The pupils demonstrate and develop their competence in physical education in Years 1 and 2 when alone and with others they take part in, practise and challenge their own opportunities for movement in different activities, indoors and outdoors, in nature and in the local environment.
The teacher shall facilitate for pupil participation and stimulate their desire to learn through a variety of movement activities the pupils perform alone or with others. The teacher and pupils shall engage in dialogue about their development in physical education. The pupils shall be encouraged to experiment in the subject. With the competence the pupils have demonstrated as the starting point, they shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they have achieved, and what they have done better than before. The teacher shall provide guidance on further learning and adapt the teaching to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in movement activities, play and interaction, outdoor activities in the local environment and safe behaviour in traffic and when in the water.
