This overview of current knowledge is examining research about teachers comprehension about assessment and grading of pupils’ in the subject of physical education. This overview has had a focus on determining how grading and documentation affects teachers and how they deal with the pressure. The following questions have been the starting point in this overview: What do teachers find problematic with assessment and grading? How do teachers assess and document pupils’ in physical education? and how are teachers affected by grading? The method that has been used is a mixed-method with both qualitative and quantitative form to obtain a result. The qualitative method has been interviews with four PE teachers from two different schools in upper secondary school. The quantitative method has been a survey sent out to PE teachers all around Sweden in two facebook groups made out for PE teachers. The participation reached 181 responses. The database that we used to obtain a literature overview was mainly Libsearch but we also used Swepub and EBSCO. The results show that there is a similar experience regarding assessment and grading in physical education. The result also shows that class size and number of pupils is an issue when it comes to grading because teachers feel like they don't have enough time to teach pupils; they more or less only assess pupils ́ with the curriculum from 2011. Furthermore some of the teachers think that other things like mentorship take too much time from the teacher's plan of the lessons and some teachers feel like the assessment and grading should disappear from physical education. The focus should lie in developing pupils and making them move rather than what the focus is today, assessment and grading.
