WELCOME TO Physical Literacy for Life Self-Assessment tools

Physical inactivity has become a worldwide problem with direct influence on health and well being of citizens. Thus physical literacy is more and more important part of an individual’s lifelong learning process. Erasmus+ project Physical Literacy For Life aims to support the definition, advocacy and practical implementation of the Physical Literacy concept in different environments. The primary purpose of the project is to create the foundation for Physical Literacy to be a key component in European citizens’ lifelong learning journey through physical education, physical activity and sport.

This project addresses the promotion and implementation of Physical Literacy in, and through, physical education, physical activity and sport for all ages and in different environments, with special focus on the four domains. One of the specific objectives is to deliver the tools for the practical application of Physical Literacy in different environments, which includes the self-assessment tools.

  • Physical Literacy is a term that has increasingly gained popularity in recent years. A variety of individuals and organizations have promoted the use of the term internationally, and a variety of claims have been made for the benefits of using the term. The tools, developed during the "Physical Literacy for Life" project will help strengthen the value of what it means to be a “physically literate” citizen, and prompt key decision-makers to recognize how being physically literate can enrich and facilitate a person’s lifelong learning. You can find all tools and outputs of the project here.

    The self-assessment tool is developed to assist the acceptance of Physical Literacy as encompassing key competences and basic skills that are valuable for personal development, health, employability, social inclusion and active citizenship. It consists of two self-assessment questionnaires, the first one is prepared for citizens and the second one is for teachers and coaches.

    * The self-assessment tool for citizens evaluates the individual citizens’ levels of Physical Literacy and hence encourage users to become more physically active in everyday life by providing guidelines.

    * The self-assessment tools for teachers and coaches assess the integration of Physical Literacy in teaching and coaching and encourage them to enhance their use of Physical Literacy in daily practice.

  • Physical literacy is a concept that links our understandings of the experience of learning and performing of a wide range of physical activities and the whole person. It is more than basic skills doing movements and knowledge about how to do. There are the 4 interrelated domains that support the holistic development of physical literacy to help all generations to lead active, healthy and fulfilling lifestyles. You can read more about the holistic approach to physical education, physical activity and sport here.

  • This self-assessment questionnaire is part an Erasmus+ Sport Physical Literacy For Life project funded by the European Commission. This tool was prepared for citizens with the dual purpose of helping you estimate your own level of physical literacy and to contribute to study the European population’s self-perception of Physical Literacy. The questions refer to the Physical Literacy elements and domains. For each of the elements, several possible answers are listed. Choose the answer that best describes you.

    Advice: Do not be too concerned about the exact wording of the statement. Use your understanding and instincts – they can be as valuable as detailed knowledge.

    Try to spend no more than 1 minute on each answer. If the process is taking longer, you might be thinking too much!

    At the conclusion of each domain, a message will display general information relating to your level of Physical Literacy and include recommendations.

    Good luck with the self-assessment.
