Get involved with development of P.E for all children on Prezi

Todays lab was interesting. I had a lo of fun, but the kids were filled with a lot of energy. At times I had trouble getting them to pay attention. Although, after a while they started to listen to me.Over all the games were a good time. I noticed in this lab what i must work on. I am ready to improve the skills. The kids were jumping around and playing basketball. I enjoyed the last song we did with them!

Development of Physical Education Get involved!!!

Three critical issues facing children in the US today are childhood obesity has been rising rapidly, in-school and community violence among youth have alarmed us all, and early puberty has important psychological ramifications.

Some goals of the concept "Developmental Physical Education" are that a person is physically fit, a person participates regularly in physical activity, and the person knows the implications and the benefits of involvement in physical activities.

Developmental physical education recognizes the relationship among the specific requirements of the movement task, the biology of the individual, and the conditions of the learning environment in promoting motor control and movement competence.

Individual appropriateness- The inclusion of learning experience into the physical education program geared to learner's phases and stages of motor development and the levels and stages of movement skills

Group appropriateness- The inclusion of learning experiences into the physical education experience based on chronological age and grade level

Fundamental movement skills include locomotion and manipulation

Locomotion : walking, running,leaping, jumping, and hopping

manipulation: Ball rolling, throwing, kicking, punting, and striking

Patterns of stability can be observed as axial, static and dynamic movements

Axial: Bending, stretching, twisting, turning, and swinging

Static/dynamic: upright balances, inverted balances, rolling,starting, stopping, and dodging

Dodge ball in Physical education
After participating in a game during class, it has made me realize that dodge ball is an unacceptable game to play with kids. Starting off by having teams and picking captains was already excluding some of the kids. There is very little moving around, only a few kids want to participate, and if you get hit your out and there is way too much sitting around. The same people were throwing the balls, and the smaller kids get out first.
