Know what to teach next Monday.

A student jumps 168 cm and holds a steady landing once in three attempts. MOSAIC records both. It tells their teacher the next task is landing control. It never says the student is ranked 14th.

What MOSAIC is

MOSAIC is for PE teachers of 12 to 14 year olds. In each lesson, students measure a few simple things: how far they jumped, how many landings they held, which way they turned. Those numbers become a picture of what each student can do now, and what they should practise next.

It stays careful about what it claims. Standing long jump has published figures to compare against; a MOSAIC landing task does not. So for the landing task MOSAIC shows whether the student is improving on their own attempts, and says nothing more. Teachers set the grades.

What it will never do

  • Rank the class, or give a student one overall fitness score.
  • Compare a student with their classmates.
  • Say a student is likely to get injured, or is a future athlete.
  • Call a child “Foundation”. The task is Foundation, not the student.

How a session works

Students are not allowed phones in PE, so nothing depends on having one.

  1. In the lesson

    Seven stations, five students at each. One student performs, a partner writes the number on the paper card: 168 cm, 2 of 3 landings held, left and right recorded on separate lines. Nobody needs a phone.

  2. At home

    The student signs in, types the code from the top of their card, Y1-S08, and copies across what was written. No device at home? The teacher types it in instead, and the grade is exactly the same.

  3. Before the next lesson

    The board shows nine students whose landing control is inconsistent and four whose results never arrived. That is what next week's stations are built around.

The app

There is an Android app for students and teachers. It holds the same records as this site and signs in with the same account, so a school does not have to choose between them.

It is installed from a file rather than the Play Store, which means one security prompt on the way through. The download page states the version and checksum so your school can check the file before installing it.

The seven movement domains

Each one is recorded on its own. They are never added together: a student can jump a long way and still need to work on landing.

  • M1

    Accelerate & stop

    Acceleration and stopping control, kept apart.

  • M2

    Change direction

    Planned direction change, left and right recorded separately.

  • M3

    Jump & land

    Jump capacity and landing control, never merged.

  • M4

    Balance & body control

    Reach, stability and adaptation.

  • M5

    Handle & target

    Receiving and targeting, by hand and by foot.

  • M6

    Bodyweight & load control

    Functional capacity and movement control.

  • M7

    See, decide & react

    Decision accuracy stored apart from execution.

Who uses MOSAIC

For students

You write your results on paper in the lesson, then type them in at home. You see your own numbers over time and what to practise next. You never see a class position, and nobody sees yours.

Set up your account

For teachers

One screen tells you who to look at and why: results missing, attempts that disagree with each other, a decision due for review. Station groups are worked out from that, and you can change any of them.

Scientific basis

Every measurement is sorted into one of three kinds. Some, like the standing long jump, follow a published protocol exactly, so published figures can be used. Some are school versions of a research test. Some MOSAIC wrote itself.

Only the first kind is ever compared with published figures, and only when the test, the units and the age group all match. When they do not, MOSAIC says the comparison does not apply instead of using the closest number it can find. Each recommendation also keeps a note of which version of the rules produced it.

Built for children’s data

A student can open their own record and nothing else. A teacher can open the classes they teach and nothing else. This is checked on the server every time, not by hiding a button.

We do not sell results, share them with advertisers, or use them to train anything. Data sent to researchers has names removed first. Your school decides how consent works.
