Actors Engagement and Tailored Methods in Physical Education and Sport Curriculum as a Policy Lab

Abstract

This paper describes an innovative process of assessment and improvement of the physical education and sport curriculum developed within the European Erasmus Plus project DIYPES. This process joins together two approaches: the Policy Lab, rooted in the Responsible Research and Innovation framework, aimed at involving stakeholders in the policy change processes; and the UNESCO “curriculum system” framework, that values not formal and not explicit levels of the curriculum. Merging these two approaches allows to design and tailor methods to address the “curriculum system”, promoting social actors engagement and co-production of knowledge with the aim of collective curriculum improvement.
