Why is physical education important? ⢠health benefits ⢠development
Week One: Why is physical education important? •
health benefits
•
development
•
self-‐esteem
•
concentration
•
co-‐ordination
•
social skills
•
ability to concentrate
•
team work
•
manage stress and anxiety
What is the difference between physical activity and physical education? •
physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure
•
physical education is a sequential, developmentally appropriate educational experience that engages students in learning and understanding movement activities that are personally and socially meaningful, with goals of promoting healthy living. When provided with an appropriate PE curriculum, instruction and learning experiences, students develop a broad spectrum of movement skills, personal and social skills, knowledge, motivation and confidence to engage in healthy activity throughout their lives.
Why are positive experiences in physical education so important? •
In order for exercise to become a choice behavior
•
So that children enjoy these experiences and voluntarily opt for them
•
Regular exercise provides profound benefits in life, so an enjoyment of such experiences is crucial
What are important elements of warm up games? •
active involvement
•
lots of movement
•
inclusion and participation (i.e. everyone is involved, no waiting in lines, gets the heart rate up, fun)
•
what are some examples of warm up games that you know?
Week Two: Cephalocaudal development: gradual control that a young baby develops over their heads, then hands and down to their feet (clumsy or poor control is referred to as incomplete Cephalocaudal development) Stages of development: •
Piaget’s four stages of development:
•
sensorimotor (0-‐2 years)
•
preoperational (2-‐7 years)
•
concrete operational (7-‐11 years)
•
formal operational (11 years-‐adult)
•
Erikson’s stages of affective (social) development
•
children are heavily influenced by the world around them
•
some children will thrive in a social world
•
some children will need many opportunities to practice with guidance and support
•
a time of growing independence (direction and boundaries are important)
Stages of learning: •
the cognitive stage: the learner develops an understanding of how the skill is performed, and tries to develop a conscious mental plan of how the skill is performed
•
the associative stage: the learner practices the skill in order to eliminate mistakes, and also makes a conscious decision to use the environmental cues
•
the autonomous stage: the learner automatically applies a skill in competitive situations, when the movement is habitual and performed with little or no conscious attention.
Physical literacy: •
gross motor skills: utilise large muscles of the body e.g. kicking a ball
•
fine motor skills: movements produced by small muscle groups e.g. pour from a jug
•
open and closed skills are classified according to the environment in which they are performed
•
discrete, continuous or serial are defined according to whether the skill has a defined beginning and end point
