There is a substantial body of physical education scholarship focusing on movement learning.

In the field of education, the international trend is to turn to criterion-referenced grading in the hope of achieving accountable and consistent grades.

This article discusses dis/ability and physical education teacher education (PETE). The aim is twofold. First, I explore how dis/ability is problematised in PETE syllabi from nine Swedish universities. Bacchi's "What's the problem represented to be?" approach for analysing policy texts is used. The centre of attention thus shifts from a…
