Description:Physical development is a key component of the
curriculum in the great majority of countries. But so far there
hasbeen no valid means of assessing the quality of the childs
physical experience or the pedagogy andenvironmental quality of
those physical experiences.
The Movement Environment Rating Scale (MOVERS), a new method of
measuring the quality of environment andpedagogy in which young
children are encouraged to move and be physically active. It
applies the scoringmethodology used in the ECERS-E and SSTEW rating
scales, making it easy for educators already familiar withthese
well-established scales to adopt.
MOVERS has four sub-scales: Curriculum, environment and
resources for physical development Pedagogy for physical
development Supporting physical activity and critical thinking
Parents/carers and staff
MOVERS is an invaluable tool for research, self-evaluation and
improvement, audit, and regulation.
Audience: Professional and scholarly
