IntroductionIn topic area 2.1a learners will have the opportunity to research and develop their knowledge and understanding of current participation trends in physical activity and sport.

The topic area ‘Physical activity and sport in the UK’ directs learners to obtain relevant information from a variety of valid and respected sources including Sport England, National Governing Bodies such as England Netball and The FA along with the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Learners will be able to gather data and evidence from these sources to provide an insight into the participation rates of different social groups along with the types of physical activity and sport that people in the UK are engaging in.

In the topic area ‘Participation in physical activity and sport’ learners will look at the different factors that can affect participation in physical activity and sport and gain an understanding into the various strategies being used to promote participation with particular focus on promotion, provision and access.

Both of these topic areas allow learners to develop their ability in the collection and use of data and are areas of the specification where the use of data may be examined.

Mapping to the specification level: Learning outcomesFrom the specification:

1. Describe current trends in physical activity and sport in the UK.

2. Describe the different factors that can affect participation in physical activity and sport.

3. Describe the strategies that are being used to improve participation in physical activity and

sport.

4. Apply examples from physical activity and sport to participation issues.

5. Analyse data from different sources.

In Task 1 learners will look at the many different factors that can affect participation and be expected to apply practical examples from physical activity and sport to these participation issues.

Task 2 demands that learners have knowledge of how each named factor in the specification can have both a positive or negative influence on participation in physical activity and sport within the UK.

Task 3 allows learners to gather their own evidence from reliable sources and evaluate how demographics can affect participation along with possible solutions and strategies to improve participation.

In Task 4 learners are presented with various statements and data taken from recent research into participation in the UK. This allows learners to become familiar with some of the recent statistical evidence into how people in the UK are taking part and how they are participating.

Task 5 allows the learner to analyse data and develop their knowledge and understanding into current trends in participation in the UK.

Possible extension tasksThe following tasks have been created through the use of information published by Sport England and build on the ideas above. It is possible to apply similar tasks using data supplied from other reliable sources (refer to useful links section) including, Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), National Governing Bodies and the Youth Sports Trust.

Extension task 1

Use the flow diagram from Task 1 to further develop knowledge and understanding of the different barriers for specific social groups. For example, the elderly may face several barriers ranging from low income, health issues, low self-esteem and a lack of role models. Learners can then give strategies in (b) to address the issues named in (a). For example, Elderly: (a) Low income from pensions (b) Subsidised activity costs.

Extension task 2

Factor cards can be passed around the learners and each learner has to add a different example of how that factor can promote participation or be a barrier to taking part in physical activity and sport.

Extension task 3

Use the Sport England website (http://www.sportengland.org/research/who-plays-sport/national-picture/) and the various links to create your own people profiles building up tables that could look like those below.

These profiles can also be added to by adding more background/additional information to each. For example, a young mother on maternity leave or an elderly person who lives on their own.

Name Age Gender Ethnic Group Additional Information

Describe their barriers to participation and possible solutions to encourage them to participate regularly in physical activity and sport.

Name Age Gender Ethnic Group

Extension task 4

Learners can read out either a true or false statement and their partner has to agree or disagree with the statement.

Learners can research and create their own statements.

Extension task 5

This task can be repeated after every Sport England ‘Active People Survey’ ensuring students are aware of the latest changes in participation rates across the different social groups and current strategies being used to increase participation rates.

Version 1 13 Copyright © OCR 2016

Page 14: OCR GCSE (9-1) Physical Education Topic Exploration · Web viewDescribe the strategies that are being used to improve participation in physical activity and sport. Apply examples from

Learners can be given data in graph format taken from different sources and can either be given a list of questions in which they analyse the data or they can devise a set of their own questions. For example, the graph in Task 5 was based on ‘Once a week sport participation (1x30) and key sports by gender’ (APS9Q2 Apr 2014-2015). The same research also displayed graphs and data for various other social groups including:

Once a week sport participation (1x30) – adults

Once a week sport participation (1x30) – young people (16-25) and adults (26+)

Once a week sport participation (1x30) – disabled people

Once a week sport participation (1x30) – gender

Once a week sport participation (1x30) – changes in participation in sport

Once a week sport participation (1x30) – ethnicity

Popularity of sports

Additional task ideaLearners could be asked to complete a questionnaire based around their own participation and class results compared to data from national results. Questions could include:

Are you male or female?

Do you participate in physical activity and/or sport?

What types of physical activity/sport do you participate in?

How many times a week do you participate?

Why do you participate in that particular physical activity/sport?

What are the barriers you face when wanting to participate in physical activity/sport?

How can these barriers be removed?

Learners could then summarise the findings for the class and display the data in a series of different graph formats. This information can then be compared to some of the national data. Are there any differences?

Supporting information

There is a vast amount of research available that details the different engagement patterns of different groups in society. One source that records the number of people taking part in sport is the Sport England ‘Active People Survey’ (APS). These findings are published twice a year and date back to 2005/06. As well as being familiar with current trends in physical activity and sport it is important we know the reasons for current trends in participation and possible strategies to raise participation rates. There are several national and local organisations that are responsible for delivering and ensuring participation rates in sport and physical activity are healthy across all social groups in the UK. These include Sport England, National Governing Bodies, local authorities and charities such as British Heart Foundation.

As well as accessing the different websites there is also an opportunity for learners to download various documents that provides further information on current participation rates including the use of graphs:

Once a week participation in sport – Active People Survey April 2014 – March 2015

The following documents from Sport England will provide the learner with further information relating to age groups, disability, gender including differences in the popularity of some sports, ethnicity, socio-economic groups and the general popularity and seasonality of sports participation in the UK.

Factors affecting participation in sport

Student Activity

IntroductionIn topic area 2.1a learners will have the opportunity to research and develop their knowledge and understanding of current participation trends in physical activity and sport.

The topic area ‘Physical activity and sport in the UK’ directs learners to obtain relevant information from a variety of valid and respected sources including Sport England, National Governing Bodies such as England Netball and The FA along with the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Learners will have the opportunity to gather current data and evidence from these sources to provide an insight into the participation rates of different social groups along with the types of physical activity and sport that people in the UK are engaging in.

In the topic area ‘Participation in physical activity and sport’ learners will look at the different factors that can affect participation in physical activity and sport and gain an understanding into the various strategies being used to promote participation with particular focus on promotion, provision and access.

Both of these topic areas allow learners to develop their ability in the collection and use of data and are areas of the specification where the use of data may be examined.

In Task 1 learners will look at the many different factors that can affect participation and be expected to apply practical examples from physical activity and sport to these participation issues.

Task 2 further develops the learners’ knowledge from Task 1. Learners are expected to take each named factor in the specification and describe how it can have a positive or negative influence on participation in physical activity and sport within the UK through applied practical examples.

Task 3 allows learners to gather their own evidence from reliable resources and evaluate how demographics can affect participation along with possible solutions and strategies to improve participation.

In Task 4 learners are presented with various statements and data taken from recent research into participation in the UK. This allows learners to become familiar with some of the recent statistical evidence into how people in the UK are taking part and how they are participating.
