PEP 315 exam 1 Flashcards
Tasks (Extensions)
Makes activities that will be taught easier or harder according to the ability of the children
Careful selection of tasks (extending) that provide the most beneficial, and interesting, learning experiences
Learning environment
- is the condition teacher creates in a classroom that supports (or hinders) learning by the students.
- consists of managerial and an instructional components; both necessary if physical education is to reach its full learning potential.
Physical Activity is a
behavior
Characteristics of a Positive, Quality Program
Time - at least 150 minutes a week
Class size - same as the regular classroom
Sequential, developmental curriculum
Minimum of 50% moderate to vigorous Activity (MVPA)
Plenty of practice opportunities
High rates of success
Skill Theme Approach is a way of teaching physical education that:
Is organized around Skill Themes and Movement concepts
Describes both content (what is being taught) and pedagogy (how it is being taught)
First focusing on developing movement concepts
Space awareness
Effort
Relationships
Then focusing on developing skill themes
Manipulative skills
Locomotor skills
Non-manipulative skills
4 characteristics of skill theme
- Competence in performing variety of locomotor, non-manipulative, and manipulative motor skills is a major purpose
- Designed to provide experiences appropriate to a child’s developmental level, as opposed to age or grade
- Scope and sequence designed to reflect the varying needs and interests of students over a period of years
- Emphasizes instructional alignment
Skill themes are The are subdivided into three categories:
Locomotor
Nonmanipulative
Manipulative
Skill Themes
Fundamental movements that apply to many different sports and physical activities
verbs” or “action words” (walking, throwing, etc.)
Movement Concepts
The “ideas”or “modifiers” that enrich the range and effectiveness of a movement (time, levels, directions, etc.)
Relate to the quality of the movement, describing how the skill is to be performed
“Adverbs” which modify the “verb”
Locomotor Skills
• Walking • Running • Hopping • Skipping • Galloping • Sliding • Chasing, fleeing, and dodging
- Turning • Twisting
- Rolling • Balancing
- Transferring weight • Jumping and landing
- Stretching • Curling
Nonmanipulative Skills
• Throwing • Catching and collecting
• Kicking • Punting
• Dribbling • Volleying
• Striking with rackets • Striking with long-handed implements
and paddles
Manipulative Skills
Space Awareness
Where the body moves • Location • Directions • Levels • Pathways • Extensions
Effort
(how the body moves)
• Time
• Force
• Flow
Relationships
(with whom, or what the body moves)
• Of body parts
• With objects and/or people
• With people

Progression spiral
how the content progresses from easiest to hardest less to more complex
Progression Spiral Example: Punting (GLSP)
Precontrol
control level
utilization level
proficiency level
The generic levels of skill proficiency (GLSP) provide
provide a relatively quick and easy way to assess abilities of entire classes of children.
Precontrol
“Oops” movements – unable to consciously control or replicate a particular movement
Control
Intense concentration with no distraction –body appears to respond more accurately to intensions; movements increasingly similar
Utilization
Skills used in a variety of contexts; movements even more automatic and reflexive
Proficiency
Automatic, dynamic; movements effectively used in unpredictable situations
Intra-task Variation:
allows to modify for the different skill level of students
Planning Step 1:
Development of a curriculum scope that outlines the content to be taught for several years.
Planning Step 2:
Decide how many lessons will be devoted to each of the skill themes and movement and fitness concepts during a year.
Planning Step 3:
Development of benchmarks or assessments that allow the reflective teacher to determine if the children are learning what is being taught.
Planning Step 4:
Development of daily lesson plans that are interesting and beneficial to youngsters.
Curriculum diamond
k-5 building a foundation
6-8 exploring possibilities
9-12 developing exercise
how to observe
back to the wall
managerial
established the structures that allow classroom function effortlessly.
Instructional-
subject matter activities that allow students to learn content
Three hierarchical guidelines
Increasing appropriate behavior
Decreasing inappropriate behavior
Dealing with whole class problems
Successful Alternative Assessment Steps for teachrs:
Decide on standard or learning goal
Decide on the content that will be learned
Establish performance outcomes
Select and develop the assessment methods
Select appropriate instructional progressions
Teach the tasks, focusing on maximum practice and feedback
Use assessment strategies developed (step 4)
Use assessment results to help students
self-correct, evaluate student learning, improve instruction, and to refine learning goals
