(2012) report how initial teacher training in physical education (PE) within UK primary education is insufficient and fails to provide the knowledge and confidence requisite for newly qualified primary teachers. Equally, current thinking suggests that continued professional development (CPD) for existing teachers could barely be “less effective” (Armour, 2010; p.4). Engaging with social learning structures (Lave and Wenger, 1991) has been suggested as a way to strengthen good practice and the process of preparing new PE teachers for what lies ahead (Nash, 2010). Research aims and procedures: The aims of this project were to explore how the cultivation of a community of practice (CoP) (Wenger, 1998; Wenger et al., 2002) in a primary school affected the practice of ...

As with outdoor field hockey, penalty corners represent one of the most likely situations in which goals can be scored. All 36 matches of the round-robin phase of the 2010-2011 England Hockey League Women's Premier Division 'Super Sixes' competition were analysed with the purpose of establishing which factors can predict the scoring of a goal using binary logistic regression analysis. Seventy-two (22.6%) of the 319 observed penalty corners resulted in a goal. The strongest predictor of scoring a goal was taking the penalty corner from the goalkeeper's right. Based on the odds ratio (OR), the odds of the attacking team scoring were 2.27 (confidence interval (CI) = 1.41-3.65) times higher with penalty corners taken from the goalkeeper's right as opposed to the left. Additionally, if the goalkeeper decided to rush to the edge of the ...
