The Meeting between Physical Education and Health in School, and a Nursing Home
This study by Dastan Rashid, Timmy Nilsson & Mikael Londos aims to describe and problematize pupils’ and teachers’ experiences of an ongoing school project about values education in relation to teaching. The school project is designed so that pupils in grades 4–6, aged 11–13, can plan, lead and carry out physical activities with the elderly in a nursing home. The school project has also contributed to the pupils becoming more active in and out of school, reaching a social maturity and gaining a lifelong perspective on physical activity. (Published 221101.
