This subject assists students to develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for planning, teaching, assessing and evaluating learnings in Health and Physical Education in the primary school based upon the Years 1-10 Health and Physical Education Syllabus and current trends within Australia. Students will examine the models influencing trends in Health and Physical Education, including outcomes based education, the social view of health, personal development, social justice principles and the importance of physical activity. Approaches to developing learner-centred, integrated and inclusive curricula are emphasised.
Learning Outcomes
- to develop and apply a reflective and analytical view of teaching and teaching materials, and especially the students own teaching of Health and Physical Education;
- to develop an understanding of and commitment to the role of physical activity, maximum participation and enjoyment within social justice principles of diversity, supportive environments and equity;
- to develop confidence and competence in structuring learning tasks and planning purposeful programs required in teaching the Years 1-10 Health and Physical Education curriculum;
- to develop the ability to work collaboratively with students, peers and the school community (school-based teacher educators, parents) as a basis for effective communication and long-term professional development.
