Although we were unable to meet in person for the ECER conference this year, to mark that Glasgow would have been hosting the conference, the Scottish Physical Education Network (ScotPERN) linked with EERA Network 18 Research in Sport Pedagogy to hold an online symposium.

Seminar title: Scottish Physical Education within the context of health and wellbeing: Researching the challenges and opportunities. 

In 2010, a new curriculum was introduced in Scotland, Curriculum for Excellence (Scottish Government 2004). As a result, physical education (PE) moved from the Expressive Arts to a new position within the curricular area of Health and Wellbeing. This move presented both challenges and opportunities for teachers, and a rich context in which teacher learning during this time of change could be researched. This symposium is made up of four presentations that explore the ways in which PE teachers, both in-service and pre-service, have navigated and managed these policy developments in Scotland.
