“Higher Education Act of 1994”, and by virtue of the Commission en banc Resolution No. 197-2011 dated

Article I, sec. 1. Rationale and background

Physical education as an academic discipline and as a profession plays an important role in human
development and continue to expand as a fast rate. By their very nature, physical education and sports

sports provide an opportunity to learn skills, discipline, confidence and leadership and they convey core
principles that are important in a democracy, such as tolerance, cooperation and respect. It teaches the
fundamental value of effort and how to manage essential steps in life such as victory or defeat. For the
individual, sports enhance one’s personal abilities, general health and self-knowledge. On the national
level, physical education and sports contribute to economic and social growth, improve public health, and
bring different communities together. On the global level, if used consistently, physical education and
sports can have a long-lasting positive impact on development, public health, peace and the environment.
Physical education is a life- long process. Every college student must continue his/her participation in a
developmental program of physical activities that are healthful, intellectually invigorating, morally uplifting,
socially significant, culturally enhancing and environmentally oriented.
Physical Education as an academic discipline is directed towards understanding people, with particular
reference on the ability to move, the ways on how to utilize this ability, and the ways to which this ability
is related to other aspects of functioning as a whole person. Thus, movement as a dynamic function of
man is the area of central concern that gives physical education its unique identity as an academic
discipline.

The general objectives of Physical Education are as follows:

1. To develop the movement potentials of each individual to an optimum level.
2. To develop a basic understanding and appreciation of human movement.
3. To develop and maintain the optimal physical fitness and functionality of the individual.
4. To develop skills, knowledge and attitudes basic to voluntary participation in satisfying, enjoyable
physical activity experience.
5. To develop personally rewarding and socially acceptable behaviors through participation in varied
movement activities for a lifetime.

In the 1971 Physical Education Public Information (PEPI) project of the American Association for Health,
Physical Education, policy makers and funding agencies about the goals and values of Physical
Education, PEPI defined a “physically educated “person as possessing knowledge and skill concerning
his or her body and how it functions. The significance of the contribution of physical education in the lives
of students both youths and adults are highlighted as follows:
 Physical Education is insurance.
 Physical Education contributes to academic achievement
 Physical Education provides skills and experiences that can last a lifetime.
 Physical Education helps in developing a positive self- image and ability to compete and cooperate
with others.

In addition, Article 1 of the International Charter of Physical Education and Sports, UNESCO, Paris, 1978
and Recommendation 1, Interdisciplinary Regional Meeting of Experts on Physical Education, UNESCO,
Brisbane, Australia, 1982, states that:
“The practice of Physical Education and Sports is a fundamental right for all.”
“And this right should not be treated as different in principle from the right to adequate food,
shelter and medical care.”
In modern parlance, Physical Education is education through “movement”. Wunderlich (1976) says of
movement:
 It provides sensory data.
 It broadens the perceptive horizon.
 It stimulates the function and structure of bodily organs.
 It is the means by which an individual learns about himself in relation to his ambient environment.

Physical Activities Towards Health and Fitness (PATHF) subjects are classified as
“mandatory subjects” in all programs in any public or private Higher Education Institution
as specified in the Policies, Standards and Guidelines of each program provided by the
Commission of Higher Education (CHED).

In our university, each student is required to finish four PATHF subjects and it is
one of the requirements for graduation. That is why, if students are asking for exemptions
in participating physical activities due to illness, teachers require them to secure medical
certificate that can support their claim. But not necessarily exempted, instead, modified
activities may be given in lieu of the designed activities for that particular PATHF subject.

We do not also have provisions in our university for our athletes to be exempted in
their PATHF classes, not even be given for additional credit to their grades, thus, they are
still required to attend PATHF classes and join in the different activities of the class and
still be assessed through their performances.

Lesson 2. Definition of PE
Physical Education is an integral part of the education program which aims to promote optimum
development of an individual physically, mentally, socially and emotionally in the performance of properly
selected physical activities.

Indeed, we can say that Physical Education is as important as other subjects like
Mathematics, Science, English, etc. The benefits that we can get from the designed
activities in each of the PATHF subjects are useful for lifetime. We may not be aware and
sometimes we are not that open minded to see its long term benefits. So may I encourage
everyone to participate in the different activities prepared for you in our PATHF 3 subject,
not only for requirement completion in order to pass the subject but discovering its benefits
in your daily living.

Lesson 3. Goals of PE
1. Major Goal of Physical Education – FITNESS is the ability to live a healthy, satisfying, and
useful life.
2. Ultimate Goal of Physical Education – “GOOD LIFE” means that an individual satisfies his
basic needs as physical well-being, love, attention, security and self-respect.

Lesson 4. Functions of PE
1. Biologic Functions - the enhancement of the individual's growth and development through body
movements.
2. Integrative Functions - personality integration achieved through participation in properly
selected physical education activities.
3. Social Functions - the transmitting of values and standards that are considered consistent with
the needs and ideals of society.

Lesson 5. Objectives of PE

The following objectives of Physical Education are viewed and stated in terms of its contributions to the
outcomes of education which justify its existence in the curriculum.

1. Physical development - through the carefully selected physical education activities, an individual
who participates actively will develop and maintain good health and a high level of physical fitness.
The acquisition of physical skills can motivate an individual to participate further in physical
activities; hence, his growth and development will be enhanced.
2. Social Development - participation in the physical education activities provides opportunities for
the development of desirable social traits needed for adjustment to the social life in general. Some
of the worthwhile traits are: friendliness, cooperation, respect for the rights of others, good
sportsmanship, good leadership and followership, and honesty in group competition.
3. Emotional Development - the informal nature of physical education activities offers opportunities
for self-expression and emotional mastery. Examples of worthwhile emotional traits are: self-
confidence, self-control, self-reliance, courage and determination.

4. Mental Development - through participation in Physical Education activities, the individual

develops his mental capacities as he learns the mechanical principle underlying movement, as
he requires knowledge and understanding of rules and strategies of games and sports, and as he
discovers ways of improving his movements in gymnastics and dance.
