The purpose of the study is to make teachers' perspective visible on the concept of physical ability in the subject PE, especially linked to assessment. Fair assessment and teachers' interpretation of the governing documents are central in my study, they have highlighted how everyone's individual opinion affects their grading, etc. A theoretical starting point is Liu and Chen's (2021) study where they describe what Physical literacy is and why it could be developed into an asset for the Swedish system as well.Several other studies point to how the teachers find it difficult to interpret the concepts and that teaching that takes place at the same school between physical education teachers looks different, that the teachers do not assess in the same way and that the assessment is not fair for the students. The results from my qualitative study showed that all teachers have different views when it comes to defining concepts such as physical ability, but that they all have similar connections between them. Also, how some of the teachers highlight how the curriculum is too open to interpretation and that it affects the fair assessment. Furthermore, the results strengthened how the teachers are affected by their professional time, that the experience creates a sense of security and sometimes safety when grading. The result shows that too high demands are placed on the teachers and that they need more direct directives and clearer explanations of concepts to strive for a fairer assessment, with which you can analyze my result with.
