Name: Physical Education GCSE (Edexcel) Qualification title: Physical Education GCSE (Edexcel) Qualification type: GCSE or equivalent Assessment This course is quite unique in that if offers students a chance to be assessed on their sporting capabilities as well as their knowledge of physical performance. Throughout the course students are given the opportunity to participate in frequent physical activity. 50% of the marks for this subject are allocated to practical components. Candidates will be assessed on four activities from 2 of the 6 areas of P.E. (Games, Gymnastics, Dance, Athletic Activities, Swimming and Outdoor Adventurous Activities). As well as being assessed on actual physical performance students will also have to demonstrate sound understanding of rules, regulations and safety procedures associated with each activity. 10% of the final mark is allocated to the understanding and analysis of performance in one of their selected activities. To do well in this the pupil needs an in-depth knowledge of one of their chosen sports, and this will be evident in the only written piece of coursework submitted - known as the Personal Exercise Programme (PEP). The practical component is assessed continuously throughout the two years and in a three-day examination before Easter in Year 11. It is therefore imperative that any students intending to follow the course must attend lessons regularly The theory is assessed byonewritten examination paper of one and three quarter hours duration, which will test candidates knowledge of the factors affecting performance and their understanding of the reasons for participating in physical activity Awarding Pearson Education Ltd (Formerly EDEXCEL) Created 20151118 11:17:12 Updated 20151118 11:18:45
