A Reflection Of Your Value Orientation For Physical Education

Improved Essays
What is your value orientation for physical education? How will this influence your teaching?
My value orientation for physical education is a student center approach where the students are doing meaningful activities each class period that they enjoy. I want students to participate in physical activities where they can learn to be a team player and build social skills while doing it. I want to be able to assess my students and see where they are so I can better each student on an individual level and accommodate when needed.
Why have a curriculum?
Teachers need to have a curriculum so that they will be able to teach the material to the students and assess them. Students need a curriculum so that they can learn the material to succeed in life.

Students should be involved in the curriculum development. I think it’s important to have a strong bond with your students so that you are able to know what they enjoy and don’t. By getting to know your student’s strengths and weakness a teacher can build a successful curriculum to benefit their students where they feel confident. I believe other teacher’s and administrators should be involved in the development of your curriculum because you can set goals where students should be by the time they move on to another class. It can also help teachers accommodate students who face challenges by talking with the resource teachers or bouncing ideas off of other teachers. Parents should be involved to a certain point. I believe in having a partnership with parents and will take suggestions on what they think is best for their …show more content…
Extra-curricular activities like P.E, art, and music and getting shortened or completely cut due to other subject areas they deem more important. Student’s needs are not the same as they were 30 years ago when it was a simpler time. Students in today’s society can be very needy which can be hard for a teacher to try to accommodate each student’s needs. Student’s interests are totally different than they were 30 years ago or even 10 years ago. Technology has changed the way our students see and perceive things around them. Children aren’t interested in playing outside, playing board games, or building something with Legos anymore all because of the technology that is available to

    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 teach, then I feel like PE would be a much stronger field and everyone would want it around.…

    One of the effects of World War I was that many high school students dropped out in order to work while their fathers were away at war. With the Great Depression, this problem only increased. Schools across the country reacted to this by making lower grades more rigorous, since many students would only obtain an eighth grade education. This junior high system remained in place until around the 1960s, when the Carnegie foundation funded a study that brought about several changes, eventually evolving into the middle school concept. Focusing on a student centered environment, the middle school concept rose to popularity in the 1980s through the early twenty-first century and still remains popular in various forms today.…

    The teachers I observed at the lower grade levels of first and second grade used Core Curriculum. These teachers followed specific guidelines in their teacher’s guide books to help them schedule activities and lessons for the week. They are provided with work books and materials but get to decide on how to execute those plans. The teacher who taught the upper grade levels of high school had their whole year planned out. I observed Math and Social Science.…

    One of the main problems seen in the article “Goal-Directed Physical Education For Learners With Disabilities” by Francis M. Kozub is a problem that is still seen at many schools even though there have been laws made to address these kinds of issues. A teacher was assigned a physical education class and had 10 kids with disabilities and only one assistant was there to help him with the class. Not only was he lacking help, he was assigned only a cafeteria for him to use. He was also a first year teacher so he was very overwhelmed and frustrated. The American with Disabilities Act states that there should be equal opportunities for program benefits, including those individuals with disabilities but that clearly is not always the case.…

    The curriculum offered at Clement Middle School has historical underpinnings from the establishment of common schools in the 19th century. Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Rush believed in free public education to the disadvantaged. Jefferson asserted that a nation cannot expect to be ignorant and free in a civilized world; and that “formal education should not be restricted to particular religious or upper–class groups” (Ornstein & Hunkins, 2013, pp. 58–59). Horace Mann also claimed that, “universal education would create a stable society in which people would obey the laws and increase the nation’s political and economic well–being” (Ornstein & Hunkins, 2013, p. 65). The school serves a diverse population with religious beliefs, varying…

    Midterm Exam – The Child and the Curriculum John Dewey’s The Child and the Curriculum, written over a century ago, poses a question that can still prove relevant to teachers in this day and age. His primary question that he attempts to tackle in his paper, is simple: should education be tailored to a child’s specific needs, or to a set curriculum? Throughout the paper, he argues that the tug of war between child and curriculum is ultimately futile; choosing one over the other will still prove detrimental. Ultimately, Dewey says “all depends upon the activity which the mind itself undergoes in responding to what is presented from without” (Dewey, 1906, p.39). In other words, Dewey believes that experience is the key to learning, and the ideal curriculum should focus on…

    The kids do not want to do anything for themselves, and may not even know how to. The technology has always been there and they believe there is no need for them to do what the present day person would do every day. Because of the spoiling by the parents, the kids, “don’t want to do anything but look and listen and smell” (19). They want everything done for them instead of doing it on their own. The parents cannot control their kids, allowing for this odd relationship that could have been prevented with a smaller usage of technology.…

    Our world continuously runs on technology every minute of the day. Everyday, there are new technological advances and discoveries being made through science and research. Although, it has many positive effects on people and the world itself, it has many negative effects on children. Today, children as young as the age of 1, grow up watching cartoons and television shows on computers and phones. Technology can also have positive effects on children, but since fundamentals start at a young age, children get so used to technology, that they forget that it comes along with negative effects as well.…
