Talking Creative PE, with John Quay and Abbey Boyer

EPISODE 11

In this podcast, A/Prof Sue Whatman talks with Professor John Quay and Abbey Boyer from the University of Melbourne about a holistic pedagogical framework called Creative PE. This framework draws on aspects of various pedagogical models in PE, including foundational movement skills, teaching games for understanding, sport education, and taking personal and social responsibility, to offer a way to plan and teach units that supports meaningful engagement with PE.

Professor John Quay has taught and researched at the University of Melbourne for twenty years, in HPE, outdoor education and educational philosophy. John initially developed Creative PE with Jacqui Peters, who is now a Lecturer at Deakin University. With colleagues he has taught many cohorts of pre-service teachers using this understanding of HPE.
