STAFFING
Examiner: Helmut GeiblingerModerator: Alice Brown
OTHER REQUISITES
State law in Queensland (Australia) requires that all adults working/undertaking professional experience/researching with children under the age of 18, in the state of Queensland are required to possess a current suitability card (Blue Card). (See "Other Requirements" for further information.) Also see: http://www.childcomm.qld.gov.au/employment/bluecard/informationSheets.htmlRATIONALE
There is an expectation that all teachers, and particularly HPE teachers, in Queensland schools are familiar with the Queensland 1-10 Health and Physical Education syllabus. Unfortunately however, there is an ever expanding chasm evolving between theoria, poiesis and praxis of this Key Learning Area. 'Teaching and Learning in Physical Education' is specifically designed to help pre-service teachers construct tangible links between theory and practice by formulating dynamic practices by synthesising practical knowledge through a processes of poiesis - action that transforms and continues the evolution of Health and Physical Education. Engaging in a systematic analysis of core learning outcomes, and the productive pedagogies that enhance these outcomes pre-service teachers will be exposed to the language of skilled performance and be able to differentiate between participation, skill, technique, learning and performance. More than ever, this understanding must develop contextually, through an engagement with physical activity to develop a logical coherence between the language of movement, skilled performance and skill learning.
SYNOPSIS
This course delivers a thorough understanding of how certain dominant discourses in Health and Physical Education are positioned. It seeks to build a knowledge of the practical application of pedagogies that underpin core learning outcomes expressed in the Queensland 1-10 Health and Physical Education syllabus. Students will be encouraged to challenge the traditional practical applications of a range of physical experience in multiple contexts such as aquatics, outdoor education, sport and health-based physical activity. Students will use the medium of movement to explore the processes of skilled performance and skill learning. Students will investigate and analyse the links between the processes of skill acquisition as they are understood under different theoretical models and models of teaching physical activity from direct to indirect methods. This course will include a compulsory physical activity component. NOTE: Minimum enrolment numbers apply to this offering. Should enrolments not reach the minimum number required for on-campus study, students may be transferred to the EXT or WEB offering and advised of this change before semester commences.
OBJECTIVES
The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. The assessment item(s) that may be used to assess student achievement of an objective are shown in parenthesis. On completion of this course students will be able to:
- 1.
- define and distinguish between technique, skill, learning and performance (Practical, Portfolio and Examination)
- 2.
- understand the various models of motor development, skill acquisition and the contribution of Information Processing systems in motor control in the early years (Examination)
- 3.
- perform, analyze and elucidate on various teaching practices that enhance movement control (Practical and Portfolio)
- 4.
- conduct motor behaviour experiments that reflect tenets of motor skill acquisition and principles of practice (Portfolio and Practical)
- 5.
- understand the link between knowledge of how skill is acquired and various models of instruction in physical activity (Portfolio and Examination)
- 6.
- understand how 'Professional Reflective Practices' through the use of narratives and personal journals can contribute to improved skill learning (Portfolio)
- 7.
- demonstrate an understanding of the intricacies of Traditional Indigenous Games, Australian Pastimes Games and modified versions of nominated ball games (Portfolio, Practical and Examination)
- 8.
- evaluate a range of physical activity contexts through the pedagogical self-reflection process (Portfolio and Examination).
- 9.
- demonstrate competence in and appropriate use of language and literacy, including spelling, grammar, punctuation and bibliographic referencing. (All assessments)
