Lecture 1 – Introduction, goals of PE
Monday 9-11-2020

Today’s content
› Overview of course
› Goals of today’s lecture:
 Activate prior knowledge in PE
 In the light of ‘dealing with differences’
 Learn which goals are addressed by physical education (PE) + implications for
teachers




Everyone differs in their abilities. In PE children are often seen as if they’re all the same. The
teachers should create activities that are able for all children. Many of us are the monkey
(good athletes). In this course we are also invited to take a look at the other perspectives.

Goals of course
› Acquire basic knowledge concerning sports education and participation in the light of
‘dealing with differences’, and
› Reflect on current sports education and participation practices in society
› ‘Course overview’ doc on Nestor

This course in a nutshell
Has different targets. Most important: physical development. Makes sense. Other goals are
just as important. PE also targets cognitive development, social development and personal
development. Personal is about effective development (psychological wellbeing for example).
In this course mostly focused on motor development. This is a part of physical development.
Questions like what is motor development, where do differences come from are answered
during this course. Role of the teacher is also important. All kinds of development mentioned
before, depend on the teacher.

,Educational science
› Applied science; using research to help solve problems in practice and to improve
practice
 By conducting academic research contributing to better education
 Positively affecting cognitive & affective development of students
 Young science; most research in this domain started in the 1960s

Physical education
› During childhood and youth:
 Physical education (PE) opportunity to learn skills to enhance lifelong fitness and
good health.
 For example: running, swimming, climbing, more structured games and sports.
-> Early mastery of the basic skills is important!
-> Helps young people to perform and understand value of activities.

Physical education
› PE = taught to all students
 Compulsory in primary and secondary education (recommended: 2x per week +/-
45 min.)
› In Europe, initiatives to improve PE:
 High quality PE
 Encourage and challenge students to get involved in activities
 Aimed at lifelong physical activity

Struggle: more physical activity during schoolday. Afraid it will be at the expense of
academic performance. Difficult for schools to get more physical activity. Researches came
up with physical active lessons.

Why should PE be part of education?
› Physical and mental health problems caused by declining physical activity – increase
in sedentary lifestyles and obesity
-> physically active lifestyle.
› Education of the “whole child”
 Learning to move: developing sports skills
 Moving to learn: sports to inform and develop the mind
-> physical – personal – social – cognitive

Important role of the teacher
› Promote learning outcomes related to a physically active lifestyle
› Design lessons to reach those outcomes
› Assesses whether outcomes have been achieved.
› Factors that play a role to lead a physically active lifestyle:
• Competence at performing (physical – cognitive)
• Confidence in using motor skills (personal – social)

Goals of PE: 1) Physical development
Expanding physical activities. In order to achieve better skills. 3 categories.
› Learning to regulate movement/improve skills
 Better motor skills, endurance, coordination.

, › Promote health & healthy lifestyle
 Experiment with activities
› With respect to fitness…
 Outcome of PE or outcome of healthy lifestyle? PE should lead to that healthy
lifestyle.

Goals of PE: 2) cognitive
› Knowledge about sports (needed for active lifestyle)
 Learning a motor skill requires active cognition
 Learning about health benefits
-> Not mentioned in Eurydice report, only in Rink & Hall
› Relation physical activity – cognition (in Bailey):
 PE can enhance academic achievement (more PE won’t delay academic
achievement, but can enhance it)
 Concentration, academic achievement,.. Seems to be relationship between it.
When you’re feeling physical well, you’ll achieve better academically.
-> Lecture Esther Hartman

Goals of PE: 3) personal development
› In addition to competence: confidence
 Develop physical awareness, general feeling of bodily well-being
 Develop belief in own physical abilities, self-esteem, will power, sense of
responsibility
 Learn to accept themselves/their abilities and tolerate differences in others
› N.B. opportunity does not always translate into practice (effective instruction and
teacher is important). Prevent negative emotions.

Goals of PE: 4) social development
› Team work & spirit, social interaction, fair play (soft skills: good communication and
constructive cooperation). Cultural component of society, public interest.
 N.B. Opportunity does not always translate into practice (effective instruction
and teacher is important).

Implications for teachers 1
Difficult to keep PE great for every student:
› Meanings and experiences that are enjoyable in a physical activity for one student may
be enjoyable at all for another
› Teacher needs to serve a diverse student population
› It is a challenge for teachers

Implications for teachers 2
› Knowledge on development of motor skills for ALL children
 Ensure competence + confidence for all children
 Remember cartoon! There should be activities that are challenging, yet doable for
all children
› Target positive behaviours (personal, social) directly
› Positive class atmosphere ->
 Focus on individual development rather than comparison with peers.
