Observing & Analysing Learners' Movement is a unique resource designed to promote high quality movement education and physical education for children aged 7-14 years. Observing & Analysing Learners' Movement is a sequel to the CD-ROM 'Observing Children Moving' which was produced by the Physical Education Association of the United Kingdom (PEA UK) and Tacklesport in 2003 to assist practitioners working with children aged 3-7 years to develop observation and analysis skills. The overall purpose of 'Observing and Analysing Learners' Movement' is to:

• Enable trainees, teachers and other practitioners to observe, describe and analyse learners' movement
• Enhance knowledge and understanding of motor development
• Raise standards by promoting effective motor development, movement education and Physical Education
• Assist those working with learners aged 7-14 to provide movement learning experiences that match pupil needs
• The material is designed for all those working with learners aged 7-14 years.

Observing and Analysing Learners' Movement includes over 50 video clips of children performing a range of motor patterns (i.e. shot put, forward roll, javelin throw, skip, jump to catch, hockey dribble, hurdle, pair balance, turn, tuck jump off apparatus, leap, handstand and tennis serve). Children at different stages of development are included and the motor patterns are shown from a variety of camera angles. Accompanying each of the 13 motor patterns are guide to observation, analysis grids, strategy for development, tasks and level 2 analysis. Also included are 'Hotspots' which indicate key points to enhance technical performance. These are designed to assist practitioners in helping children to improve their performance.
