What do you believe are the characteristics of effective teaching and learning?
A reflection on learning.
Through my teaching and learning experiences, I have attempted and witnessed a number of successful leaning styles. For example visual learning, kinaesthetic learning, auditory learning or combinations of those have been used by my students, peers and me. I cannot promote one as being more beneficial than another as individuals will find success using different styles. Personally, I see myself as a kinaesthetic learner.

From my experiences, PE is valued highly by most students because it is one of the few subjects that allow individuals to be challenged physically and mentally. However, what appears to be the most exhilarating...
