Leirhaug, Petter E.; Annerstedt, Claes – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2016
Background: The latest curriculum reform in Norway is one example of an education reform with a highly emphasised assessment for learning (AfL) agenda. Acknowledging that there is a lack of empirical research on AfL in physical education (PE), and that AfL potentially can have an important role to play in development of PE pedagogy, this paper set…

This paper examines the construction of race and racism in two national contexts (Norway and…
