Sport Australia released the Australian Physical Literacy Framework (APLF) in 2019 to advance a national agenda for physical literacy (PL) and specifically, clarify and promote the development of PL in Australian sport and education sectors. For teachers, this policy initiative followed a period of curriculum development guided by the Australian Curriculum for Health and Physical Education (AC: HPE). The AC: HPE makes no explicit reference to PL, but nevertheless seeks to support young people to lead active healthy lives. This study acknowledged that HPE teachers are now challenged to navigate the divide between the APLF and AC: HPE and find ways to appropriately integrate the APLF into HPE programmes. The premise for the study was that investigating conceptual ‘common ground’ between the APLF and AC: HPE in relation to PL could provide an important foundation for coherent policy enactment. Accordingly, Whitehead’s (2001) foundational conceptualisation of PL was employed as an analytic framework for examination of both policy texts. The purpose was to identify points of conceptual connection between the APLF, AC: HPE and Whitehead’s conceptualisation of PL, and thereby strategically extend the PL discourses ‘at play’ across the Australian sport and education sectors. Findings suggest that while the AC: HPE and the APLF reflect differing policy agendas, the two texts both have some points of alignment with dimensions of Whitehead’s framework. Discussion pursues the significance of distinctions and commonalities identified and addresses issues that HPE teachers and other stakeholders need to consider to promote a coherent approach to PL in Australia.

澳大利亚体育局于2019年发布了澳大利亚体育素养框架（APLF），以推进国家体育素养（PL）的议程，特别是阐明和促进澳大利亚体育和教育领域PL的发展。对于教师而言，这项政策倡议是在一段以澳大利亚健康与体育课程（AC：HPE）为指导的课程开发期之后进行的。AC：HPE未明确提及PL，但仍寻求支持年轻人过上积极健康的生活。这项研究承认，HPE教师现在面临着挑战以解决APLF和AC：HPE之间的鸿沟，并找到适当的方法将APLF纳入HPE计划中。该研究的前提是调查APLF和AC之间的概念“共同点”：与PL有关的HPE可以为制定一致的政策提供重要的基础。因此，怀特海（Whitehead，2001）对公共关系的基本概念被用作分析两种政策文本的分析框架。目的是确定APLF，AC：HPE和Whitehead对PL的概念化之间的概念联系点，从而从战略上将PL论述“扩展”到整个澳大利亚体育和教育领域。研究结果表明，尽管AC：HPE和APLF反映了不同的政策议程，但这两个文本均与Whitehead框架的维度保持一致。
