Units 1.0 (Teacher Education) Band 5

Synopsis

Borrowing from the sociological underpinnings of the Queensland 1-10 health and physical education syllabus (see Strands 1 and 3) and Early Years Curriculum, this course purposefully examines the social constraints of traditional Physical Education. Students will be encouraged to critically challenge their interpretations of dated yet conventional models of health and physical activity and to elucidate on inherent problems by engaging the social justice principles of equity, diversity and supportive environments. While the major themes of the syllabus will be explored, health is identified and analysed, as a one of number of potential curriculum organiser and accordingly physical activities that reflect this perspective will be examined. Central to this notion of sociological underpinnings and curriculum organisers (Health) will be the tenets of an inclusive curriculum one that open seeks to enhance the learning opportunities for all children. 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.
