Abstract
https://www.isatt.net/- this is currently in presentation format. This project situates physical education and healthy active living content and activities through the pedagogical lenses of direct and metacognitive instruction. By examining how secondary school students deploy higher order thinking around their planning of physical literacy competences, their exam responses, and through their metacognitive awareness of planning for summer time activity (when beyond the school curriculum and resource provision), it was possible to then explore implications for ways student teachers could develop such acumen. Enquiry questions connected school based out to university based practices: Do Teachers need to be agentic in their own healthy, active living practices in order to support/lead; teach these concepts? How authentic ought modelling be? Are there any ethical dilemmas across these processes? In what ways might PSTs benefit from explicit means to integrate critical thinking into their practices across Health, Movement and Physical Education? What are the ethical implications for ITE for PST HWB?
