Reasons-for student data and to teach health related fitness

1988 (Kirchner) “The primary purpose of physical education is to help each child develop to his or her full potential.”

Also defined PE as a program that enhances physical growth and development’ develops and maintains maximum physical fitness, useful physical skills, social skills, wholesome recreational skills, intellectual competencies, and creative talents; and enhances a child’s self esteem.

Note-focus still on physical domain this definition begins to address the need to plan and teach to the physical and social side of PE

Segway--- From what you know and practice about the New PE to the theory of Old/New PE

Changing times influences definitions of PE

1958 (Scott & Westkaemper) “planned instructional experiences in the fundamental skills, games, sports, dancing gymnastics and aquatics.”

1963 (Miller & Whitcomb) “…..teaching to the physical objectives of Physical fitness, growth and development, and physical skills…….Children’s intellectual growth has probably been overlooked and ignored in favor of the physical…”

1970’s Arnheim & Pestolesi presented an elementary hierarchy objectives chart. Physical skills at the top.

Pangrazi (2006) and Graham, Holt/Hale and Parker (2009) provide PE definitions that include all three domains-psycho-motor, affective, and cognitive (Used to teach students to remember this by CAP).

Definitions started addressing:- the need to teach to all children and not just the

skilled students and elite athletes- How to be active outside of PE class

Physical activity- is a behavior and PE is the program that teaches our children how to achieve these behaviors (Sullivan, 2011)

1997 (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion) “PE programs help students develop the knowledge, attitudes, motor skills, behavioral skills, and confidence needed to adopt and maintain physically active lifestyles.”

Note-first part of definition attends to the physical but the affective domain is included.Shows progression of more than just the physical.

Moving into the Future: National Standards for Physical Education, 2nd Edition (2004)

Physical activity is critical to the development and maintenance of good health. The goal of physical education is to develop physically educated individuals who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity.

A physically educated person:

Standard 1:Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.

Standard 2:Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of

physical activities.

Standard 3:Participates regularly in physical activity.

Standard 4:Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.

Standard 5:Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings.

Standard 6:Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction.

Best and newest definition of Physical education

Quality Physical Education (QPE)

NASPE believes that every student in our nation's schools, from PK-12, should have the opportunity to participate in quality physical education.

The Four Components of a High-quality Physical Education Program 1. Opportunity to Learn

2. Meaningful Content

3. Appropriate Instruction

4. Student and Program Assessment

Why is Quality Physical Education Important?Quality physical education programs help all students develop: -health-related fitness, -physical competence, -cognitive understanding, -positive attitudes about physical activityso that they can adopt healthy and physically active lifestyles.Learning Experiences that Meet Developmental Needs.

Quality physical education programs provide learning experiences that improve mental alertness, academic performance, and readiness and enthusiasm for learning in our nations' youth.

•Ask family and friends (more than 20-30 years old) for stories•Sister, Kathy, “I hated every minute of gym class. Why did we have to play field hockey? When was I every going to play field hockey?”

•Physical fitness and teaching sport skills primary goal

•Elimination tag games, team sports, sport drills, team captains

•Scores and results were recorded and data used for grading

•No surprise many detested physical activity and PE as students being taught skills they could not use outside of class

•“It shouldn’t matter how quickly you dribble a soccer ball around cones for a skill test, but rather it should matter that you know how to control the soccer ball to be able to dodge an opponent or pass to a teammate when you play a recreational game. (Sullivan, 2011)

•Unofficial survey with college students-elementary PE experiences were fairly positive but middle school/secondary PE negative in past

Class called gym Teacher directed lessons Long lines and squads for exercises Structured classes Intimidating procedures Competition stressed Skills taught but games usually played at end of

units Fitness often presented as a separate unit and not

integrated into the other units Students often do not have fun as they practice skills Students do not know how hard they are working or

their level of physical activity Grades often based on skill level Lack of standard based curriculum development and

assessment No technology (perhaps a stopwatch)

• Purpose affected by popular culture, as indicated in the changing definitions

• Review-health hygiene stressed early 20th century, then social recreational goals, fitness tests developed during war years, 1950’s total fitness, 1970’s social justice issues, then looked to individual and needs.

• Past 10 years-wellness concepts, obesity and fitness crisis

• Shift from Traditional/Old PE to New PE

Many, including, John Ratey (2008) (Spark:The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain) credit Phil Lawler as pioneer for New PE in early 1990’s

physicalsparkinglife.org/page/the-new-physical-education

Lawler revised PE content and teaching to focus on participation, cardiovascular activities, and effort. Students were asked to challenge themselves and better their weekly one mile run.

True example of authentic assessment Set the foundation for the NEW PE http://www.pe4life.org/about-us/

The New Physical Education

Neil William’s “Physical Education Hall of Shame” article in 1994 helped provide the impetus to begin calling physical education the New PE in the late 1990’s

First article in 1992 had seven games in Hall of Shame then six more in the 1994 article

Games: Dodgeball, Duck-Duck-Goose, Giants/Wizards/Elves, Kickball, Musical chairs, relay races, steal the bacon, line soccer, red rover, simon says, Messy backyard, SPUD, tag

Limited scholarly research on New PE Clapham/Sullivan writings Now can find lots of “press” articles and

information about quality, fun, New PE programs, classes, teachers

Current scientific data on connection of physical activity and academic performance

Brain research and John Ratey’s work Need more research on the documentation of

the value of pe and it’s linkage to academics

New PE definition-using NASPE’s work

Physical Education is critical to Educating the Whole Child (Position Statement)

“This position statement provides an overview on the "whole child initiative" based on the premise that 21st-century demands require a new and better way of approaching education policy and practice: a whole-child approach to learning, teaching and community engagement.”

 

Class is called Physical Education as we educate the physical (and more than the physical too)

Everyone active, all inclusive, small groups No humiliation and intimidation Cooperative focus with enjoyment Fitness is blended (Sullivan, 2003) with other PE content Motivational devices are used to personalize and monitor

physical activity Enjoyment levels are raised Individuals work at own physical level and challenge

themselves by stetting personal goals Wellness or health related focus Each child has their own piece of equipment (most of time

or all active in some way) Each child is working towards their own personal fitness

goals throughout the lesson Standards based curriculum and assessment; more

authentic assessment Technology supports the pedagogy (pedometers, heart

rate monitors, computers, PDA’s, smart boards, tablets, gaming devices…)

Is this a S.M.A.R.T. Goal?

Every student in the school will show growth in physical skills,fitness/wellness knowledge and they will be evaluated with tests and drills.

To learn more about pedometers and heart rate monitors (by May 1, 2012) for authentic assessment in my PE classes by observing and speaking with two teachers/classes who use them for the grades I teach, going online to learn more info and speaking to two representatives from companies. And then seek out and apply to be trained, as well as purchase hrm’s and pedometers by August,2012.

Is this a S.M.A.R.T. Goal?
