Question 15

Why choose Physical Education in Alternative Environments?

Answer 15

-It is common for children to focus on one sport at an early age. However, research suggests that this may not be best for healthy childhood development. It is important to develop a wide range of physical skills in multiple environments to enable kids (and adults!) to move with poise, confidence, competence, and creativity in different physical environments, including: 
-Indoor ground 
-Outdoor ground 
-Air 
-Water 
-Snow and ice

Question 16

WHAT ROLE DO ALTERNATIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAY FOR A CHILD?




Answer 16

-As with other dimension activities, alternative environment tasks can support the development of basic fundamental motor skills and depending on the activity, elements such as strength, endurance, physical fitness, balance, etc. can also be supported 
-Unique to alternative environment activities is the application of basic fundamental motor skills in activities that are held in different environments. Students are exposed to such places as swimming pools, arenas, sports facilities, camping sites, trails, etc. 
-Develops an awareness that there are a multitude of places where people can be physically active
-Participation and skill development can promote life long physical activity as these environments are those that the students will access as adults
-Inclusion of alternative environment activities increases the breadth of the program provided to the students
-Can allow for the sharing of facilities – One class in the gymnasium, one elsewhere

Question 17

How Should Teachers Organize Alternative Environment?

Answer 17

-Consult the Safety Guidelines document to ensure a safe experience 
-Make transportation arrangements 
-Provide parents with an information letter 
-Gain student permission forms 
-Consider any medical concerns 
-Consider the student/Teacher ratio - Parent volunteers 
-The teacher should gain prior knowledge/experience of the site 
-Consider the cost – fundraising issues, parent councils, etc. 
-Have a “What if” emergency plan 


Question 18

CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE TEACHER WHEN USING AN ALTERNATIVE ENVIRONMENT

Answer 18


-Consider students’ previous knowledge and skill level 
-Plan for student learning outcomes 
-Communicate to students the specific learning outcomes expected from participation 
-Ensure that the activity has a purpose rather than just an organized playtime 
-Consider modifying the content of off-site activity so that students can experience some 
of the elements in the gymnasium before going off-site 
-Plan activities that are developmentally appropriate 
-Consider any modifications for students with special needs 
-Ensure that students have the proper equipment 
-Always consider safety – site, equipment, clothing, supervision, medications, etc. 
-Consider safety again! 


Question 19

Example of activities to do in an alternative environment:


Answer 19

-Hopscotch
-four square
-wall & ball games
-Skipping
-hand clapping games

Question 20

What are some teaching Strategies and Techniques

Answer 20

Teachers need to use a variety of teaching strategies.
Need to be able to create key teaching behaviours that will result in effective instruction.
Need to give continuous encouragement and assistance throughout the learning process.
Each new learning experience must be tailored to interests, learning styles, and the variety of skill levels found in each class.
Teaching means to show, point out, direct or guide.
An effective teacher is a communicator whose primary goal is to enable students to learn.

Question 21

-What is the role of the teacher regarding class management:

Answer 21

Uses effective Class Management Techniques.
Chooses and Employs Effective Teaching Strategies and Styles
Designs Learning Opportunities based upon Curriculum Outcomes and Student Learning Needs.

Question 22

Unstructured gym classes can be pretty crazy
Some prefer visual stimuli/tactile involvement in active learning.
Some prefer to learn individually/shared learning working partners or small groups.

Question 23

Uh

Answer 23

Bb

Question 24

What is observational learning?

Answer 24

Much of what we learn is through modeling.
Demonstration is a practical strategy (however must be carefully planned and executed)
Conditions must enable learners to perceive what is going on.
Explanation and discussion during demonstration enhances student performance
Have been shown to be the most effective in motor skill acquisition.

Question 25

What is constructivism (discovery learning), and some problems:

Answer 25

Learners build knowledge for themselves. Students come up with their own solutions, they get to be creative.
-Child copies others therefore models movement
-Child observes incorrect demonstration and uses them for learning.
-Children need to complete required proficiencies (example: swimming strokes must be taught with direct method and demonstration)
-Don’t discover learning for certain things like swimming

Question 26

What are the different styles of teaching:

Answer 26

-Direct teaching style: teacher centred
-Indirect teaching style: children get more freedom in their choice of activity, less teacher-centred
-Combined teaching: Combines elements of direct and indirect styles.

Question 27

What is direct teaching style and what are the benefits and challenges:

Answer 27

-The teacher makes all the decisions Teacher chooses activity
-Teacher prescribes how and where practice takes place
-MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO TEACH A SPECIFIC MOVEMENT SKILL, SAFETY PROCEDURE OR RULES OF A GAME
-Can be used to regain class control and direction when discipline is low.
-Very controlled by the teacher so does not allow for individual differences 
-Opportunities for student attainment of self-responsibility creative thinking, and problem solving skills are not enhanced

Question 28

What is indirect teaching method and what are some benefits and challenges:

Answer 28

-Giving kids more often to go beyond, they might not know the proper technique for example. It is not great for classroom behaviour because kids are more on their own.
-Allows children the freedom in choice of activity, how it’s performed and occasionally how its evaluated.
-Teacher becomes guide or facilitator as opposed to being director
-Students required to assume level of responsibility for their learning experiences and become self directed.
-Use creative problem solving skills.
-Class Management, specific skill learning and safety are not easily attended to.

Question 29

What is combined teaching and what are the benefits and challenges:

Answer 29

-Combines elements of direct and indirect styles.
-Allows for sharing of the teaching process between teacher and student.
-Offers opportunity within certain limitations for students to create and discover solutions to the activity tasks set.
-Allows students to work at own pace and make own decisions on how to complete a task.
-Have freedom to perform some tasks for example: Create a gymnastics sequence that involves 2 balances, (1 must have 2 points of contact and 1 must have 3 points of contact) Teacher chooses points of contact student chooses type of balance.
-Due to versatility able to use across PE programs
-Allows teacher to give some direction without restricting students 
creativity and freedom of interpretation.
-Allows for child’s physical differences and varying interests
-Although allows for teacher direction in specific skill learning does not allow teacher to have complete control.
-Does allow for student choice but still some control over that.

Question 30

When do you know what style to use:

Answer 30

The three teaching styles need to be viewed as being on a continuum
-The three styles are based on the amount of freedom or choice 
provided to the students in a particular learning task
-The five methods differ on the basis of decision making power
-Teachers need to be able to use any style/method according to…
- The learning objectives of the lesson
- The learning needs of the student(s)
- The environment 
- The equipment being used
-The content of the lesson
-The activity chosen
-MOST TEACHERS ROTATE BETWEEN STYLES DEPENDING ON THE NEEDS OF THE LESSON

Question 31

When using techniques of effective teaching what should the structuring look like:

Answer 31

-Shows the children where the lesson content fits into their learning experiences (explain why?)
-Meaningful learning involves relating new learning to previous (use of advance organizers can help children understand why)
-Explain why practice is necessary
-A need for classroom (the gymnasium is a classroom) structure and routine which establishes an environment in which students learn how a teacher is going to manage the class.
-Involves organizing equipment, establishing routines, setting codes of behavior (when to ask questions, how much and when talking is permissible.)
-Once children understand the teachers format of teaching and handles things in a CONSISTENT AND FAIR way your rapport with students will be achieved and effective use of instructional time will be achieved.

Question 32

What are the techniques of effective teaching:
-Provide a variety within each class:

Answer 32

Essential to accommodate for children’s personal and unique learning Styles.
-Monitor on time task: Teacher may be task oriented but a child may be disengaged. You need to monitor for engagement and plan for maximum on time task.
-Provide success for each learning task: Quite common to see a teacher move to next activity before child has correctly completed the first activity. Connection between success and intrinsic motivation is high. Without intrinsic motivation, there is little chance of a lifelong active person. Observing and monitoring progress is very important Student success is vital.
-Use student ideas: Involve children in their own learning. Have a degree of ownership. Are motivated to continue because they are involved in the process.
-Communicate effectively: One of the most important skills a teacher must understand and use Used in every learning situation. Needs to be a continuous 2 way process of exchanging ideas, knowledge, skills, and feelings. Teacher’s task is to communicate what is to be learned, how it should be learned, and what quality of performance is expected from each student
-Develop an effective questioning technique: Teachers need to carefully consider their questions (how they phrase them) Effective questions check for understanding. Levels of Questions need to be considered (Blooms Taxonomy).
-Demonstrate positive personal qualities: Enthusiasm, Sense of humor Desire for Learning Health and Wellness Nonverbal qualities Role Model.
-Adjust the learning environment: Adjustments are necessary to support the learning of all students. 4 environmental variables can be adjusted to ensure successful completion of tasks: Rules, Space, Number of Participants, Amount or Type of Equipment .

Question 33

How do motivational techniques affect the way we teach PE:

Answer 33

Good teaching relies on student learning
Amount a child learns depends on frequency, intensity, and variation of learning task.
Importance of practice
Importance of child to be actively involved in learning task

Question 34

Why then do some students NOT retain the concept or motor skill????

Question 61

Pick 2 consideration that apply in _____ (gymnastics, soccer) when doing circuits.

Answer 61

1. Maximum Participation – Increases opportunities for practice and learning. Need multiple exit and entry points.
2. Safety – Always consider safety. Location, type of equipment, number of students, rules of participation and use of equipment.
3. Inclusion – A well considered set up of the station can allow for inclusion to take place. E.g. box at wheel chair height with balls in for the child with special needs.
4. Group Make-Up – Heterogeneous grouping, teacher chosen, or random selection work best. Encourage cooperation.
5. Developmental Appropriateness – A must!!!! Think equipment, activity, size of station, complexity, number of participants.
6. Time at Each Station – Provide equal opportunity for each group to experience the stations. If necessary spend two lessons. Allow for enough time to achieve learning outcomes.
7. Arrangement – Stagger the stations for best use of space. Try to leave the middle somewhat clear for good sight lines etc. Extra equipment can also be stored in the middle for easy access. Have enough space between stations
8. Reduce Competition – Different starting and finishing points, maximum participation reduces the competitiveness of performance.
9. Alternate Focus – Try to ensure that different body parts are used at each station. That way, tiredness and repetition are reduced.
10. Rest Stations – At times, it might be appropriate to have a rest station to allow for the children to recoup energy. You might also call this an observation station so that the children can view other student’s ideas. This can work well in a gymnastics setting.
11. Learning/Skill Acquisition – Each station must have a learning objective. This
can be delivered verbally or in the form of task cards.
12. Task cards – Can be utilized for many reasons at stations. Instructions, assessment, extension activities, challenge activities etc.
