GCSE Physical Education knowledge mat
What’s In Your Head, What’s Around You
Two players have identical skill. Why does only one perform under pressure? Skill classification as two continuums at once, drawn as a labelled quadrant so a free throw and a rugby tackle sit where they belong; SMART targets; the four kinds of guidance and both kinds of feedback; and mental preparation. A second figure draws performance against arousal as one curve, because too little and too much both cost performance. A table defines arousal, anxiety and aggression, the DfE’s own three examples of psychological control. Then the socio-cultural half: engagement patterns by age, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic group and disability; commercialisation; sportsmanship, gamesmanship and doping. Thirteen terms, a worked goal rewrite, and the misconceptions that cost marks.

One landscape A4 page on one part of the GCSE Physical Education course, anchored to the DfE’s own subject content (DFE-00697-2014) and Ofqual’s subject level conditions (Ofqual/21/6724) rather than a board’s paraphrase, so it holds whichever specification a department follows. It carries both skill continuums as one grid, SMART targets, guidance and feedback, mental preparation, arousal, anxiety and aggression, and the three socio-cultural requirements. Then come the vocabulary, a worked goal rewrite, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
This is the one topic where the DfE’s own list is specific enough to quote in full, so it is quoted rather than paraphrased. Nothing is reproduced from a past paper, a textbook or a specification, and both figures on this sheet are drawn in code rather than licensed from anybody.
Sold by subject: all four Physical Education sheets for one price. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the lesson is happening.
