FMS Exam Flashcards
What fundamental movement skill does one need in order to play Netball proficiently?
Throwing in order to play the sport proficiently.
Why is developing Fundamental Movement Skills important?
- Building blocks of being active.
- Wide variety of sports and activities at a confident level.
- More involved in playground games being a popular playmate having reduced self esteem and self-confidence, and these children avoid physical activity If they don’t have FMS.
- The FMS of agility, skipping, balance and coordination are important to be taught from an early age to give the children the opportunity to excel in sports and fitness.
Describe the categories of fundamental movement skills and give examples
Body Management Skills:
Eg. Balancing, landing, turning
Skills used to control the body in a variety of situations.
Locomotor Skills
Eg. Running, skipping, hopping
Physical action that propels an individual from one place to another
Object Control Skills
Eg. Throwing, catching, kicking
The handling or manipulation skills, students will utilise these skills in various ball games such as basketball netball soccer etc another sports in life experiences
Why is identifying children’s interests, strengths and needs important?
- Have a basis of what the students are already good at, this can be used for a demonstration for kids who don’t know how to do something.
- Focus on needs so that you can focus/ plan to teach what the students may need to work on and improve rather than what they already know how to do.
- Discover children’s interests to create engaging lesson plans that encourage maximum participation resulting in better learning outcomes.
How long does Kelly (1989) suggest that it takes in terms of teaching time to develop proficiency in FMS?
Believes it is a long process that takes up to 10 hours of quality teaching practice.
Describe why the warm up is such an important part of your lesson.
- Activates muscles for movement and prepares body for the extent of physical activity about to be participated in.
- Not warming up can result in injury.
- should increase the pulse rate and therefore the blood and oxygen supply to muscles.
- Focus the class
What is the difference between child structured experiences and teacher structured experiences? Give specific examples.
Child structured experiences: structured by the children or used differently with individual children, small groups or large groups of children. Children demonstrating or explaining instructions about a skill.
Teacher structured: teacher explains everything and what needs to be completed. Up to the teacher.
Student driven or teacher driven
What is the difference between “The Global Check” and the “Skill Criteria” with the Observation Record?
The global check: observing each child’s movement pattern. Look for if movement is smooth, rhythmical and well coordinated, movement achieves its purpose and if the child appears confident.
Global is every thing criteria
Skill criteria: is skill objective
Observation record: a column in the left side designed to record these global observations.
What are the 3 different levels of development with the Observation Record?
Beginner
Development
Consolidating
What are three different methods that you could use to assess students in FMS?
Self assessment
Peer assessment
Teacher assessment – observation, video
What are three different learning experiences that you as a teacher could employ to teach FMS?
- Understanding what is expected of them, what they are trying to learn and why.
- Revisiting skills they have already developed
- Learning from each other in fluid and flexible groupings, such as : groups of children with a similar skill level.
-explicit instructions about their skill and skill criteria. (One on one, play stations, games or in transition activities.
Outline 3 methods of sharing information about the FMS program that you are teaching?
- verbal - many of the examples below are verbal forms of feedback;
- visual - when you demonstrate how to perform a skill you are providing visual information. Some children learn better by watching than listening; and
-kinaesthetic - for some children it is most effective to physically (and appropriately) guide their arms, body or legs through the correct movement.

In order to maintain the safety of students in a PE lesson, discuss some safety considerations that physical education teachers must address.
Slippery floor, uneven surfaces (make sure floor is smooth and dry before class starts) Inadequate footwear/ clothing Keeping control of class Railings Faulty equipment Inadequate warm up/ cooldown Poor technique
- How can you individualize the learning experience in the FMS program?
- Spending more time with the individual/ (s)
- Modifying activities for certain individuals or everyone
- student led
- Whole class activities (circle activities, peer observation and play stations) to –encourage maximum participation. Provide different ways of practicing skill in individualizing way.
What does LEST stand for in HPE teaching and give an example that illustrates your understanding of this?
Learners: What age and ability you are working with. Plan accordingly
Equipment: Check for any faulty or broken equipment before lesson and make sure there is enough equipment that is needed.
Space: Looked into space provided and plan activities according to. Look for potential risks in the space.
Time: Having effective time management skills. Not running out of ideas too early. Keeping children engaged for whole lesson.
