Video analysis for sport performance

Jason Borland, the Head of PE at Papakura High School is experiencing positive engagement and improved achievement outcomes through the use of the online app Vidalyze.  

In this presentation, Jason shows us how students use Vidalyze to explain their understanding of biomechanics.  

A key benefit of using Vidalyze with students is the functionality they have to edit their own videos.  This allows them to show comparisons with their technical skills to highlight their angles and flexibility, a necessary requirement for many of the achivement standards like the ones listed on the right.    

Jason finds the online app particularly useful for gatherings student evidence with the following achievement standards:

• AS90967 1.6 Demonstrate strategies to improve the performance of a physical activity and describe the outcomes

• AS90963 1.2 - Demonstrate understanding of the function of the body as it relates to the performance of physical activity

• AS91328 2.2 Demonstrate understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills

• AS91499 3.2 Analyse a physical skill performed by self or others 

Developing Literacy in PE

Our first Department Discussion for teachers of PE & Health in 2023, centered around students' learning from their peers and how interactions via a class blog can have a motivational influence on students' achievement outcomes particularly in terms of their writing.    

Ruth Hills at Bay of Islands College talks about the positive benefits of regular blogging had on her Year 11 students NCEA assessements.
