This subject assists students to develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for planning, teaching and assessing learning in Health and Physical Education in primary school, based upon relevant and appropriate State and National curriculum texts. Students will examine the models and trends in early childhood (birth to 8 years) and primary Health and Physical Education (HPE), including propositions of educative purpose, strengths-based and socio-critical approaches, health literacy, valuing movement, play-based pedagogy and Indigenous perspectives. They will also be cognisant of the role the HPE curriculum has in the development of personal and social capability in children. Approaches to developing learner-centred, integrated and inclusive curricula are emphasised.
Learning Outcomes
- critically analyse and reflect upon Health and Physical Education teaching practices and resources;
- design inclusive and purposeful lessons, including literacy and numeracy demands, required in teaching the Health and Physical Education curriculum in the primary years;
- devise learning experiences that reflect knowledge of and commitment to the multifaceted nature of health, physical activity and movement, maximum participation and enjoyment, guided by social justice principles of diversity, safe and supportive environments and equity;
- develop learning experiences that demonstrate knowledge of and respect for Indigenous perspectives particular to Health and Physical Education;
- critically reflect upon teaching practice, using the AITSL Graduate Teacher Standards, the ACARA HPE Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework for the early years of primary teaching.
