Teaching Physical Education (part 2) Flashcards
2 large camps of goal orientations
Mastery goal orientation and ego goal orientation
Mastery goal orientation
A teacher focus where the students are helped to pursue their best selves
They are assessed relative to themselves
Ego orientation
Refers to a teacher focus where the students are trying to “perform” at the highest level in a social comparison context
What does ego orientation place an emphasis on
Results and meeting previously established standards
(Norm vs criterion)
What has scientific research in the world of sport shown about mastery goal approach
Enhances student emotional well being, intrinsic motivation, and enjoyment of the sport activity
Foundational principles consistent with mastery goal orientation
- Excellence is the best version of you, not some external standard
- You are defined by your pursuit of excellence, not your attainment of it
- Pursuing excellence means going for it, not just hoping it will happen
Why should students embrace the three principles consistent with master goal orientation
Use as foundational supports upon which to bas their pursuit of new knowledge, skills and values
What can goals be in PE
General or specific
General goals
Tend to apply to curriculum objectives (what is going to happen in a course)
Specific goals
Tend to apply to the instructional objectives (what is going to happen in a class)
What are the 3 broad and interrelated categories of PE goals
Cognitive, psychomotor, affective
What do cognitive goals target
The students’ thinking world (knowledge)
What things are apart of the cognitive goal domain
The knowledge needed to understand techniques, tactics, and principles
What multiple levels do cognitive goals address
Recall (listing what you have been taught), application (applying what you have been taught), and creativity (exploring new possibilities using what you have been taught as a starting point)
Psychomotor goals (skills)
In PE any goal that deals with physical and motor abilities exists within this category
What is the differentiation feature when comparing pE programs to other K-12 programs
Psychomotor goals
No other program emphasized them to the extent of PE
What falls within the realm of psychomotor goals
- teaching of both simple (e.g., throwing) and complex (bball layup) skills
- teaching and application of fitness strategies (strength training)
Affective goals (values) address
The “feeling” world of the student
What are the 2 key affective goals of PE programs
To nurture within students an appreciation for and a desire for being physically active
What is achieving the affective goals essential in
Enhancing the likelihood students will commit to a physically active lifestyle after high school
What else do affective goals (values) address
The “character development” component of PE programs
What is an affective goal pertaining to winning and losing competitions
Nurturing within students a commitment to fair play and being a good sport
How should students be given opportunities to treat people in caring and respectful ways
By being placed in situations where they work together with other students
What must be done for goals to be effective
Must be realistic for the setting in which they are being pursued
What may asking too much of students do
Has potential to frustrate and/or discourage them
What may asking too little of students do
Has potential to leave them feeling unmotivated or wishing to seek challenge elsewhere
Wha this the general rule for goals to be considered realistic
If they are specific, challenging yet achievable, and approach-oriented
What requires careful and thoughtful planning
How teacher helps students move from where they are in direction of specific goals
