See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject introduces students specifically to physical education pedagogy in the contemporary Australian primary school curriculum, where emphasis is on developing children’s physical literacies within safe and lifelong learning frameworks so they are able to flourish as healthy and active citizens. With attention to diversity and social justice, children’s rights to develop physical literacies within their personal, physical and socio-cultural contexts are explored, and relevant teaching approaches identified. Given the emphasis on evidence-based pedagogical approaches, students will investigate the research that underpins the contemporary PE pedagogy. The subject reviews ongoing, developmentally appropriate and explicit teaching strategies about health and movement, where children participate safely and enthusiastically to develop the knowledge, skills, dispositions and understandings to make healthy and active choices for the wellbeing of themselves and others. In this regard, the importance of physical skills in the primary years, including teaching and assessment of fundamental motor skills (FMS) and appropriate interventions, is addressed. The subject will also address the need for inclusivity in Physical Education pedagogy and develop in students, practical ways of approaching inclusivity in planning and implementation of lessons, including management and safety issues.
