Curriculum and Practice in Secondary Physical Education Curriculum: Action Plan Where students are Where you want them to be
Curriculum • The planned sequence of formal instructional experiences presented by the teachers to whom the responsibility is assigned.
Developing a Philosophy – Knowledge Types • Content Knowledge (CK) • Knowledge specific to your discipline. • Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) • Knowledge of teaching methods pertaining to all subjects and situations especially classroom management and organization.
Developing a Philosophy – Knowledge Types • Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) • Knowledge about how to teach a subject or topic to specific groups of students in a specific context. • Others?
Developing a Philosophy –Values • What do you Value? • As a teacher? • As a person? • From your students?
Developing a Philosophy –Attitudes • What type of Attitude does a teacher need to have? • What does it mean to be an “educator”?
Your philosophy answers these questions: • What do you believe in? • What is of value to you? • What should you teach? • How should you teach it?
How should you teach it? I believe that physical education should: • teach specific sport skills. • teach understanding of rules and strategies. • teach appreciation of the customs and traditions of sport.
How should you teach it? I believe that physical education should: • teach about fitness and teach sport skills that have health benefits. • teach students to be knowledgeable about health-related fitness. • teach about the importance of committing to a healthy lifestyle.
How should you teach it? I believe that physical education should: • teach effective, efficient, and versatile movement using problem solving technique. • teach about integrating knowledge and movement. • teach students to enjoy movement and develop problem solving abilities.
There’s more than one way to teach it: The student will be able to pass the volleyball effectively to a front line player from the back line, using a legal forearm pass, from a ball tossed over the net, without the receiver needing to take more than one step.
Or . . . . . . The student will be able to develop muscular endurance by continuously passing the volleyball to a wall with a legal forearm pass so that the ball touches above an 8’ line on the wall.
Or . . . . . . The student will be able to determine how best to position his/her hands and forearms to perform a legal volleyball pass when asked to pass a ball from a toss to a basket target.
Common Beliefs and Attitudes • We all play. As we age, the form that play takes often becomes more institutionalized. As physical educators, we want to develop skillful players; it’s the difference between PE and recess. • Fitness can dramatically add to the quality of one’s life. Conducting fitness programs in schools should be done with an eye toward making it enjoyable. • We trivialize PE when we relate it’s value to how it enhances other subjects. It has value in its contribution to a healthy lifestyle.
Common Beliefs and Attitudes • There are many of the social values that can be gained through PE. Should realize that it is just as easy to learn bad values through poor programs. • We must accomplish something when we teach. Students are in school to learn, teachers must be accountable for that.
Common Beliefs and Attitudes • As a beginning teacher, you will be asked to demonstrate the level of your commitment in many ways - by going the extra mile, perceived as caring about students, being prepared to teach, having a defensible program and being accountable for it. Obviously the impact you have on your students, your school and your program will go a long way towards determining your success. Since the value of PE is so often debated, you the teacher, will be seen as an extension of PE and its value determined accordingly.
Common Beliefs and Attitudes • Since many people will not totally understand the value of the subject matter, they will look to you to see what it’s about. Must do what we can to dispel the stereotypical media pictures of a physical educator. (What is that media image?)
