Exit Outcomes Program Outcomes Course Outcomes Unit Outcomes Lesson Outcomes
Concepts Model • Goal: Development and maintenance of individual student fitness and physical activity habits • Physical education used as a means to contribute to the well-being of individuals • Education in its application to the development and care of the body • The physically educated person knows about the effects of exercise on the body and applies this knowledge by exercising
Diverse Activity High Choice Middle Foundation skill Elementary
Develop a Scope & Sequence • What should students know by the end of their learning experiences in a program? • K-5 • 6-8 • 9-12 • How will you sequence those learning experiences?
Suggested “Concepts” • Demonstrates active lifestyle • Demonstrates choice/preference in activity • Participates regularly through many forms of movement • Achieve/maintain levels of fitness • Goal setting/ Recognizes differences in people • Demonstrates knowledge of principles
Curriculum Development • Criteria for selecting activities to include: • Relevance to goals and desired outcomes • Is it personally meaningful to students? • Is it practical to the program? Can you teach it?
Relevance Issues • Obtain information to help guide decisions on curriculum development • From research and current literature • From observation and visitations of exemplary programs • Expert opinions of people who are members of your curriculum group
The scope of this model: knowledge of exercise, exercise activities related to specific physical activities/sports • Units teach health benefits, diagnosis, evaluation, and development of personal physical activity plan • Is this too narrow of a focus for physical education?
Qualitative Issues • To what extent is ‘living in’ the program a pleasurable, fun experience? • While we look to long-term benefits, we must also consider is present life ‘in’ the program enjoyable? • Make an effort to select activities that provide a focused, meaningful experience for students
Appropriateness of activities • A dilemma often is whether to limit a program to current student interests or to expand their interests • Do students have the pre-requisite skills, conditioning, or knowledge for experiences you want to include?
Practicality • Are the necessary resources available to implement activities? • Are the activities socially and politically acceptable to the community?
Sequence Decisions • Attempt to provide continuity and progression within each unit of instruction as well as from unit to unit and year to year • Things to consider: • Developmental readiness of students • Interest/motivation of students • This may peak at certain ages or times of year
Quality programs are not limited to conditioning activities, but provide an educational perspective that emphasized understanding as well as performance • Cognitive knowledge about the relationship between health and affective development • Affective dispositions to pursue regular activity
Which skills and knowledges are pre-requisite to learning of other skills? Where on the Stairway to Lifetime Fitness are students? • Vertical sequencing: how will content progress from year to year • Horizontal sequencing: order of content within a semester or year
Deliver “Up” • Do lesson outcomes lead “up” to achievement of exit outcomes? • Do you tie a fitness concept to a physical activity? • How well do you use a “set induction” to introduce the lesson, explain the lesson content, and provide a closure activity for assessment of outcomes?
