Reflection sessions can really help Year 1 Physical Education students feel more motivated. This can be done by using self-assessment techniques and personal goal-setting. Here are some important points to think about:

1. Self-Assessment Techniques:

   • When students take time to think about their own performance, they can improve by about 30%.
   • Also, when students assess each other, it helps them work better as a team and feel responsible for each other. This can boost their motivation by around 25%.

2. Personal Goal Setting:

   • Students who create specific and clear goals are 2.7 times more likely to reach them.
   • Regularly reflecting on their progress can help students stay interested and engaged in physical activities for a longer time.

3. Enhanced Awareness:

   • Reflection helps students develop a growth mindset. This means they become more resilient and persistent when facing physical challenges, with an increase of about 40%.

Using these methods works well with Sweden's curriculum because it supports students in believing in themselves and building healthy habits for life.
