Samenvatting

This paper is exploring the potential of the subject of Physical Education for supporting students’ overall development, the theoretical relation between the IB Learner Profile and PE as described in various IB-PYP documents and aims to design a subject-specific approach of the Learner Profile for Physical Education. This design-based research is based on collaborative work with focus groups of Grade 5 students, involving them in the design of their learning experiences, providing meaningful and relatable design outcomes.
They are implementing their knowledge and experiences into the design on a prototype approach. This approach is discussed, analyzed and adapted collaboratively to produce a valuable final product.
Ideas are developed, analyzed and designed on how to implement the IB-PYP Learner Profile actively throughout PE. The final product, a subject-specific Learner Profile for PE is designed and further ideas on the LP’s implementation are generated.
