, PES3701 ASSESSMENT 3
Question 1
1. You have applied for a physical educator position at a school, and you
have been invited to be interviewed for the position. In the interview, you
are asked to talk about what your high-level objectives of developing a
physical education programme are. In your own words, write down how
you would. Answer this question. (5)
Physical education is a programme in which skills used in sport, dance and exercise
are taught and practised. This programme in the total process of education focuses
on developing and utilising the individual’s voluntary, purposeful movement
capabilities and directly relate d mental, emotional, and social responses. The
physical education school programme takes place in a specialised learning
environment. It incorporates many planned conditions and stimuli specifically
intended to encourage or provide opportunities for physical, social, emotional, and
intellectual responses through which the learner may be changed, modified, or
educated in desirable ways. The quality of physical education learning outcomes in
any school depends on the responses and attitudes induced in learners. Physical
education is concerned with growth, development, and proper maintenance
throughout life. To summarise, physical education is a method of education, a
method of educating the youth through experience acquired during motor activities,
and a way of teaching about their bodies and their physical potential.
2. You are a physical educator at a poor rural school with limited resources.
After reading section 2.3 (pages 9–10, focus on points 1–7) in your study
guide, write down seven (7) sentences in your own words that would highlight
likely challenges to teaching physical education at this school. 7)
1. Lack of funds would make it difficult to acquire proper equipment and facilities
necessary for a well-rounded physical education program.
2. Limited financial resources may lead to sub-optimal staffing within the physical
education department or no department at all.
3. Students in rural areas may lack exposure to different sporting options or have
limited opportunities to experience different physical activities beyond those found
locally.
4. The school may also struggle with attracting qualified and experienced physical
educators or coaches, given its limited resources and rural location.
5. The high incidence of poverty in the area may limit extra-curricular sporting
opportunities for students, further reducing the exposure to physical activities.
