Measurement of the Effectiveness of a Developmentally Based Physical Education Curriculum for students from Transition to Year 10 Schooling Years - Research Consultancy 2007-2010: Phase Five Progress Report

Abstract

This report is the first set of results that comprise the renewed cooperative research project conducted between The Armidale School (TAS) and University of New England (UNE) 2007-2010. This report focuses on the Year 6 of 2007 cohort. This group comprised 24 students who continued on at TAS from the Junior School to Middle School and had been previously measured using the McCarron Assessment of Neuromuscular Development (MAND). The 2007 Year 6 class was joined by 24 students who came to TAS from other schools. As such, an opportunity for initial exploration of the nature of the two groups was undertaken. The data reported were collected in June 2007. This report is Phase Five of the Research Project.
