Measurement of the Effectiveness of a Developmentally Based Physical Education Curriculum for students from Transition to Year 10 Schooling Years - Research Consultancy 2012-2015: Phase Seven Progress Report

Abstract

MAND testing was conducted over two periods in 2012. The first was February when Years 1 and 3 were tested. The second testing period was during October when Years 2 and 4 were tested. Results are presented, in this report, in the order in which tests were conducted. Years 1 and 3 showed results that were consistent with previous years' results, with the mean NDI and SD close to cohorts tested in other Years. However, both Year 2 and Years 4 results showed significant deviations from the expected mean. Some discussion of the probable reasons for these apparent anomalies is presented at the end of the report, along with a possible course of action.
