Personal Education Philosophy Statement in Physical Education Intended outcomes in education are not achieved in an instant. In fact, a lot of effort should be exerted in order to achieve such outcomes. According to Kelly and Melgrano (2004, p. 4), it is through developing a curriculum that student outcomes are met. Further, it is through this that teaching methods are made more effective and the students' needs are diagnosed. In line with this assertion, this paper will be about personal…

Have you noticed that Physical Education seems to be a narrowing field? I strongly believe that there is a reason we need to keep PE in schools and in society today. Unfortunately, I feel as though many of the educators and teachers today aren’t taking it seriously. They aren’t doing enough to help the students become physically active, instead, the teachers just sit there because it is a job to them, nothing more. If the teachers had a better personal philosophy on what they actually want to…

polices have impacted physical education programs in the recent years mainly due to events by the press and other parties. Curriculums are always changing which can be both positive and negative for the students and teachers. The various programs mentioned in the books helped set the stone for physical education in the United States. The trends and policies that have been incorporated have positively and negatively affected the physical education programs. Physical education fits into the…

Adapted Physical Education (APE) is developed for a learner with a disability, in order to implement them into PE classes with students who do not have disabilities. This is mandated by federal law so that students with disabilities receive physical education to develop the motor skills that are essential to their lives through physical activity. Changes that are made for the students with disabilities in these classes are based on the type of disability that the student suffers from and…

INTRODUCTION Physical Education cannot be separated from the general education, but compared to the other study, it is really different. It makes student to be healthy. However, in reality, it is regarded as a boring and tiring subject that contradicted the basic concept of said education. Another fact is that there is no relation between the curriculum and the student’s real life in school which is tended to be exclusive, narrow minded, too academic, and it looks like all students are directed…

Why is Physical education important? The issue with children in America today is early child obesity. Through the years as technology becomes more advanced children spend less time outside running around, and more time indoors playing on their Xbox, Play Station, watching trendy shows, and using the internet for entertaining activities and games. Physical Education is a combination of topics that are taught to the children for instance, nutrition and diet, exercise, mobility, flexibility, safety…

The first physical education class I got to observe was taught by Heather Karnes at James W. Parker Middle School. The class ran from 10:52 a.m. to 11:37 a.m. The students were in 6th grade. There was actually two classes combined into one class. Ms. Karnes had to change her plans for the class. The class was actually supposed to run the mile for the physical fitness tests, but the weather was no cooperating. She had to come up with something quickly that could be done inside the gym, since…

As a future teacher, I believe that physical activity and movement are vital in the education of children. It is recommended that children receive 60 or more minutes of aerobic exercise each day. However, most students do not receive this while they are in school. Unfortunately, it is common for students to receive about half of the required time. Often teachers have the students’ sit at their desk while he or she lectures to them. Many studies have been conducted and concluded that students…

Sports and Physical activity help improve child’s health and academic performance There is no question that sports and physical activity is great for kids: It teaches them to socialize; it also helps develop their muscles and maintain a healthy weight. Getting kids active is an important part of their upbringing and a healthy habit to continue into adulthood. Physically fit kids perform better in school, are happier and they pride themselves in achieving academic success. Kids that…

IEP is a…
