Content of the Lecture: Recent P/policies in physical education in England emphasize "Performativity" as we can see in the development of National Curriculum. He argues that the tendency of putting strong emphasis on competition, comparison and accountability has strong influences not only on the physical education curriculum but also on the issue of body and health.
