Publication Details
In 2022, the National Monitoring Study of Student Achievement (NMSSA) assessed achievement in the health and physical education (health and PE) learning area of the New Zealand Curriculum.

Summary
This report uses the questionnaire data to describe a range of contextual factors associated with learning in health and PE.
The report is organised thematically, combining results from the student, teacher and principal data where appropriate. After a brief description of the participating students, teachers, and principals, the report focuses on the following themes in turn:
- attitudes to and confidence in health and PE
- teaching and learning in health and PE
- professional support for teaching and learning in health and PE
- the use of external providers in health and PE programmes
- the impact of Covid-19 on teaching and learning in health and PE.
Where the same or similar questions were asked in 2017, and there is a ‘notable’ difference in the data, a short description looking back at the responses made in that year is provided. Generally, only ‘notable’ differences are highlighted (i.e., differences greater than 10 percentage points).
