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.
