through individual presentation; and.
 INTRODUCTION
Understanding of physical culture also influences the aims of physical education which,
being a foundation for future self-development, has to emphasize and integrate those issues
into its teaching more than ever. Physical education through pedagogical methods and the
specific interactive nature of the relationship between teacher and pupils (in the educational
environment of a sport gym) should aim at strengthening personal traits (beliefs, moral
values, motives and interests as much as motor skills or sporting skills) in preparation for an
active life style not just in the school but for a person’s whole life span. If the process is
delivered appropriately, according to pedagogical principles, some basic motor skills (i.e.
running, jumping, skipping or catching) would be the means of achieving social and moral
development. The variety of activities, the forms and methods of delivering it, and broadness
of contexts should only enhance the educational process and help young people to direct
their interests into physical culture in the future.
 However, health education is a combination of learning experiences designed to
facilitate voluntary actions conducive to health. The terms “combination, designed,
facilitate and voluntary action” have significant implications in this definition.

Combination: emphasizes the importance of matching the multiple determinants of

behavior with multiple learning experiences or educational interventions.

Designed: distinguishes health education from incidental learning experiences as

systematically planned activity.

Facilitate means create favorable conditions for action.

Voluntary action means behavioral measures are undertaken by an individual, group or

community to achieve an intended health effect without the use of force, i.e., with full
understanding and acceptance of purposes
 Most people use the term health education and health promotion interchangeably. However, health
promotion is defined as a combination of educational and environmental supports for actions and
conditions of living conducive to health.
 Pedagogical Aspects in Teaching/Learning Process for Discovering One’s Body in a Healthy Environment
Motor  Biological Predisposition
Development and  Morphological Factors
Learning in  Motor Skills Acquisition and Responses
Physical  Motor Skills Performance
Education  Principles of Physiological Workloads
  > secularism – sports are sources of diversion and entertainment, not worship; they are played for
  personal gaits, not the appeasement of gods, and they embody the immediacy of material world, not
  the mysticism of the supernatural.
  > equality – sports are based on the ideas that participation should be open to everyone regardless of
  family or social background and that all contestants in a sporting event should face the same
  competitive conditions.
Social and Moral > specialization – involve athletes dedicated exclusively to participation in a single event and position
Development in within an event, excellence is defined in terms of specialized skills, rather than all-round physical
Physical abilities.
Education > rationalization – involve formalized rules that regulate the conditions of participation and they are
(Cognitive Skills, organized around rationally controlled strategies and training methods guided by “sport science”.
Social Skills, > bureaucratization – sports are governed by complex organizations and officials that control athletes,
Attitudes) teams and events, enforce rules, organize events and certify records.
> quantification – involve precise timing and measurements, scores and performance statistics are
recorded and used as proof of achievements.
> records – emphasize setting and breaking records, performances are compared over time to
determine personal, national and world records.
 Methods and Techniques of Teaching Physical
Education and Health
1. Identify methods and techniques in teaching physical education and health
education

emphasis on classroom and outdoor/field class management.
3. Use appropriate assessment strategies.

 ABSTRACTION

Direct teaching is the common method in which the instructor stands in front of the class or
group and lectures or advises, so as to teach a piece of information. This is also called teacher-
centered teaching. Indirect teaching is a method in which the instructor assumes a more passive role
and guides the student interactions. This is also called student-centered teaching.

The advantages of direct teaching include the ability to allow for the introduction of new skills,
plenty of practice time, and time efficiency. However, disadvantages include a lack of feedback and a
lack of variety.

The advantages of indirect teaching include cooperation, improvement, and social skills, as well
as the fact that students learn valuable teaching skills. The disadvantages include too little focus on
the process, shyer students may be left out, and students may not handle responsibility well.
