Chapter 1
Title of the Chapter: Physical Education

Overview

PHYSICAL EDUCATION is the integral part of school curriculum that aims to

develop the physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual aspects of an individual;
through well selected physical activities that will help students attain and maintain
their well-balanced life. Physical Education like all of education is continuous. The
mind and the body are whole, incomplete one without the other. If a student achieves
high grades and honor is unfit physically, people will doubt that she is truly educated.
The Ideal life is found in properly balancing all experiences, physical, social and
mental. If the body’s physical need for exercise is not fulfilled the whole system will
be in trouble. Real and imagined illness may result which cannot be traced to
biological causes.

A. Learning Outcomes

At the end of the lesson, you can:

 Identify the function of Physical Education.

 Determine the importance of Physical Education as an integral part of a well-rounded
education.
 Understand the main objectives of Physical Education and its goals in achieving a
lifetime physical activity.
 Classify the six main categories of Physical Education Program.

B. TIME ALLOTMENT

 Pre-test
Directions: Answer the following questions.

1. Why we study Physical Education?

Physical education supports the curriculum’s vision for our young people of
enabling students to become confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong
learners.

Physical education helps students to develop the skills, knowledge, and

competencies to live healthy and physically active lives at school and for the rest
of their life. They learn ‘in, through, and about’ movement, gaining an
understanding that movement is integral to human expression and can
contribute to people’s pleasure and enhance their lives

2. What is the benefits of Physical Education?

Physical education is an integral part of young people's education in senior cycle.
As a result of their learning in physical education, young people can increase their
enjoyment, confidence and competence in a range of physical activities. They can
learn about health-related fitness and to take responsibility for being physically
active now and in the future. Overall, they can develop positive attitudes to
physical activity and its importance in a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.

3. Why it is important to study Physical Education?

The main purpose and wellbeing within curriculum for excellence is to
develop the knowledge and understanding, skills, capabilities and attributes
necessary for mental, emotional, social, and physical wellbeing now and in the
future.

C. Discussion

Introduction to Physical Education

Physical education is an integral part of young people's education in senior cycle. As

a result of their learning in physical education, young people can increase their enjoyment,
confidence and competence in a range of physical activities. They can learn about health-
related fitness and to take responsibility for being physically active now and in the future.
Overall, they can develop positive attitudes to physical activity and its importance in a
healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.
As part of senior cycle education, it is envisaged that physical education will be available in
two forms. Leaving Certificate Physical Education as a subject which will be assessed as part
of the Leaving Certificate examinations is under development. The senior cycle physical
education (SCPE) framework has a different purpose and focus. It provides a flexible
planning tool for physical education for all students in senior cycle and will not be assessed
as part of the Leaving Certificate examination.
Young people in this group bring a wide variety of skills, talents and levels of motivation to
their learning in physical education. They are represented at all points of the physical activity

WPU-QSF-ACAD-82A Rev. 00 (09.15.20)

continuum. Some young people are regularly active and/or participate at a very high level of
performance. However, there are others who are not meeting the physical activity
recommendations for young people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC],
2015).
Students’ learning in physical education supports the overall vision of senior cycle education
which is to develop students as resourceful, confident, engaged and active learners. Learners
grow in confidence and competence as they acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes
necessary to enjoy and succeed in a variety of physical activities while in senior cycle and in
their future lives. Physical activity, in its many forms, provides the medium through which
students learn in, through and about physical education.
Learners can experience success in different ways in physical education. For some, the
pursuit of excellence and the achievement of sporting goals will be the focus. For some,
organizing, leading and facilitating others to be physically active will be the measure of
success. For others, including regular physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle will
represent a successful outcome.
The use of different curriculum models in conjunction with those physical activities
selected by a class group and their teacher is at the heart of teaching and learning in SCPE.
By using different curriculum models, learners can be encouraged not only to improve their
performance in different physical activities but also to develop their understanding of the
factors which impact on their personal performance and participation in physical activity.
Learners can be encouraged to undertake different roles and responsibilities, including
leadership, coaching and officiating roles. They can learn to plan, organize, participate in and
reflect on their experiences in physical activity. Students can learn about fair play, team work
and how to relate to one another respectfully. As a result, they learn to be effective in the
different competitive, creative and challenging situations that participation in physical
activity continually offers them.
The 4 objectives of physical education

1. physical development objective

Physical development refers to the advancements and refinements of motor skills, or,
in other words, children’s abilities to use and control their bodies. These
advancements are evident in gross- and fine-motor skills, and they are essential to
children’s overall health and wellness. Gross- motor skills involve the use of large
muscles in the legs or arms, as well as general strength and stamina. Examples of such
skills include jumping, throwing, climbing, running, skipping, and kicking. Fine-
motor skills involve the use of small muscles in the arms, hands, and fingers.
2. Mental development objective
Mental development is an important aspect of growth, embracing the various mental
abilities. It begins right from birth, and as the child develops with the passage of time
his mental reactions also change. These reactions are very simple to start with, but in
due course, they lead to complex mental activities.

Mental development includes such abilities as attending, perceiving, observing,

remembering, imagining, thinking, solving problems and growth of intelligence as
well as of language.
3. Social development objective

WPU-QSF-ACAD-82A Rev. 00 (09.15.20)

 A social objective is a statement that details a specific desired outcome of a project
that is related to the interaction of the individuals, groups, and institutions within a
society. Often our social objective is related to improving human wellbeing.
Social development aims at freeing people of pain, difficulties, shackles, limitations,
drudgery, injustice, ignorance, lack of skills and lack of knowledge. It enables every
human being to live life along the principles like equality, equal opportunity, equity,
ability to use one’s rights, and many others cherished by the great and the best
constitutions created in this world.
4. Emotional development objectives
Emotional development refers to the ability to recognize, express and manage feelings
at different stages of life and to have empathy for the feeling of others. This objective
include both positive and negative emotions, is largely affected by relationship with
parents, siblings and peers.
Show respect for themselves, others and the learning environment. Are actively
involved in learning throughout each lesson. Assume responsibility for continual
self-improvement.

Meaning and Definition of Physical Education

Physical Education is the process by which changes in the individual are bought
about through movements experiences. Physical Education aims not only at physical
development but is also concerned with education of the whole person through physical
activities. It would not be wrong if we say that Physical education is the play-way method of
education.

What are the purpose of Physical Education?

The main purpose and wellbeing within curriculum for excellence is to

develop the knowledge and understanding, skills, capabilities and attributes
necessary for mental, emotional, social, and physical wellbeing now and in the
future.

3 Domains of Learning and Physical Education

1, Psychomotor Domain (Body)

The psychomotor domain refers to the physical aspects of learning. It addresses motion,
reflexes, and how muscles are engaged during physical activity. In your PE classes, you can
help students build a number of psychomotor skills, including reflexive skills, perceptual

WPU-QSF-ACAD-82A Rev. 00 (09.15.20)

abilities, and complex, higher-order skills that require a combination of physical abilities to
yield a motion.

2. Cognitive Domain (Brain)

The cognitive domain addresses the development of content knowledge and intellectual
skills. Teaching and learning in the cognitive domain is essential to PE, as without it, students
are less likely to understand rules or develop strategies to excel in activities, sports, and
games. You can use Bloom’s Taxonomyopens in new window as a tool to build students’
knowledge of healthy movements.

3. Affective Domain (Feelings)

The affective domain focuses on students’ feelings, attitudes, and values about movement.
Learning in this domain is difficult to measure because it takes place internally. However,
you can use the Bloom’s Affective Taxonomyopens in new window as a guide to observe
your students’ learning. For starters, focus on a student’s ability to pay attention and place
value on the importance of movement.
Activities in the Physical Education Program
The activities in the physical education program are specifically classified into six
main categories as follows:
1. Developmental Activities
2. Simple Games (Group Games)
