Physical Education Philosophies

Improved Essays
In the profession of teaching you must adapt and adjust to the surroundings you’re put in. Whether it’s dealing with your classroom, your colleagues, the administration, and the parents of your students. For this assignment I’ll go over the characteristics of being an effective teacher in the field of Physical Education. The philosophies and theories that I believe in with the methods I’d in the classroom. Between dealing with the ages groups I’d be with everyday or the age I’d like to be with. How I’d assess my classroom along with how I’d discipline my students. Along with what I’d personally like to accomplish in my classroom. As an effective Physical Education teacher I must be motivated, I love impacting students through motivation. It’s …show more content…
When dealing with students in Physical Education you must be decisive, have a lot of emphasis along with using effective proven methods inside the classroom. These methods and practice all take part underneath the Philosophy tree of Essentialism. Essentialism came about when Sputnik was launched. Essentialist supporters are vocal on their view on schools that have “dumbed down” their curriculum with non traditional methods, because it resulted in lower test scores. Philosophy is important to certain Curriculums because teachers can reflect and observe off one another. It’s natural that I’d lean toward one philosophy than multiple. Our Philosophies come to action when we make our decisions.
When teaching as a Physical Education teacher you’re surround by multiple ages/grades unless you are in a school with a singular grade. But for the most part I’d enjoy teaching student in the age range of 6-9, so 1st to 4th grade. When dealing with all these different grade ranges you must adapt to the fundamentals of P.E. Because it’s good to vary your teachings I’d make my classes semi easier with the younger kids and teach them the basics. When I’m with the older kids I’d adjust my ways of teaching with advancing my methods of lesson plan to push them a bit

    Hi Kacee! because of what you wrote I believe that you also plan to incorporate a little of each philosophy in your future lessons. I believe that it is a great thing to do because it gives a little excitement to education. Students do not just want to go to school and listen to a teacher talk for a full hour, therefore giving them group projects and having field trips here and there would not make it as boring. I hope that incorporating all the philosophies leads you to the most outstanding future students.…

    Or if this chemistry teacher has no knowledge in chemistry and teaching a course that is new knowledge to them. We are all aware that in rare cases teachers are not supplied with equipment for the classroom and the teachers are trained in the subject they are teaching, so why isn’t it the same in a physical education class. In many cases these students with disabilities have no physical activity outside of the PE class. It is important for them to be able to get that activity and to be able to improve on something they might not be able to do outside of the PE classroom. Also if they interact with other kids they might learn more social skills that can help them out later on in life as…

    At this stage, Year 3 and 4 students have developed FMS, providing the foundation for “competent and confident participation in a range of physical activities (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2014). The proposed sports afternoon “Let’s Move” will provide an opportunity for students to strengthen their fundamental movement skills (FMS), whilst developing a better understanding of physical literacy, which is stressed in the Health and Physical Education (HPE) domain of the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2014a, ACPMP044). Physically literacy embodies moving with poise, economy and confidence in a wide variety of physically challenging situations (Tinning, 2006). When students are physically literate they are able to move with greater proficiency across a variety of fundamental skills that serve as the base for future participation in sporting activities (Mandigo,…

    PE was one of the most exciting periods I had, but my favorite activity for PE was doing sports, the sports is so fun, the sports you can pick are always the best. One of my favorite sports we had in PE is pumpkin ball, because it's just like baseball but more joyful. Though, it could be really competitive in ways the kids think of, for me I do the sports for fun and not for competition. All my friends enjoyed PE, just not the running aspect.…

    Also, many will note that not only does physical education take “time” away from other subjects, but it interferes and conflicts with timetabling and scheduling due to the need to share the gymnasium. This in turn will often “break up” solid blocks of literacy and numeracy time.” But undoubtedly this can be challenged, because even if PE takes time away from other classes, and interferes with gym sharing schedules, physical education is still a big part of the needed exercise and and education needed by students. Physical education does not only teach students about sports, but they also…

    Ethical dilemmas are prevalent in education and, as leaders, we must find solutions that are fair and ethical for all stakeholders. A recent ethical dilemma that surfaced at my school involved a teacher and his use of physical contact with students. Our physical education teacher, who I’ll refer to as Mr. Smith, has a good rapport with students and coaches several sports outside of school. Mr. Smith has been teaching at our school for 10 years. He tends to make physical contact with students when greeting them, either with a hug or rub of the shoulder, and students have never complained about his seemingly warm nature in the past.…
