Jesús Viciana and Jay Cameron are both part of the physical education system in schools. Although both Viciann and Cameron have ideas for changing the physical education to produce the most benefit they have their difference in opinions. Both focus on the importance of organization and planning to be able to execute a proper class. However, Jay Cameron focuses more on implementing change and motivating it consistently and Jesus Vicanna focus on learning the content. Therefore, seeing the difference in participation we can learn from the ideas and make a better one. With having both Jesús Viciana’s paper “INNOVATIVE TEACHING UNITS APPLIED TO PHYSICAL EDUCATION – CHANGING THE CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT FOR AUTHENTIC OUTCOMES” and Jay Cameron’s paper “Teacher-Led Change in Secondary School Physical Education” go over ideas on how to change the physical education system in schools. It’s a great way to see the similarities in what people find most important changing physical education. Such as, importance of planning, teachers having knowledge plus a good background, and making it feel different. These changes show what’s important to help make sure the students get the best physical education without it feeling like such a burden. Both Vicanna and Cameron stress the importance of organization and planning to be one of the most important aspects. In Cameron’s study a teacher said “In terms of preparation and planning . . . it was more labor intensive and now that it’s done and
The advantages of effective planning and preparation is that you will be ready for most of the challenges you possible can face during the activities. It is not possible to prepare for everything, but you need to decrease the chances of getting in trouble as much as you can. Lack of preparation can result in poor performance and
Metheny (1954) describes this third dimension of physical education by defining it as the “psychosomatic interrelatedness of mind-body-emotions we are moving into education”, stating how the act of working together as mind and body, instead of separate entities, has come to the forefront of our physical education system (p. 1). Many individuals do not understand the importance of being both mentally and physically involved in the activity they are taking part in: for example, William Freeman of Campbell University writes “the belief in the value of using physical means to develop the whole person has not captured the public imagination” (12). Metheny continues on to say that “as he moves, the very act of movement modifies and affects his thinking and feeling and being”, informing readers that in physical education, the mind and body are two inseparable beings (Metheny, 1954, p. 3). Although the author continues to present a monistic approach in the topic of physical education, she also presented some signs of a dualistic theory: while discussing exactly how people learn the sport they are desiring to play, she states “we get so intent on teaching the game that we forget about the bodies with which the game must be played”, saying that people may be too concerned with teaching and less about the execution, hinting that there may need to
The Gospels (literally, “good news”) encompass the Synoptics (Matthew, Mark, Luke) and John). In the Gospels of Matthew and John, Jesus is revealed; Jesus reveals God (John 1:18; Matt 11:27); and God speaks finally (Heb 1:1-4). While Matthew presented a narration on the temptation of Jesus, his transfiguration, and the institution of the Lord’s Supper, John was silent on those materials. John mentions no examples of Jesus casting out demons. While Matthew focuses on the genealogy of Jesus, John establishes the deity of Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount and the Lord’s Prayer are not found in John’s Gospel. Matthew is the only Gospel writer who speaks directly of the church (Matthew16: 18; 18:17). He points to the Gentile composition of this church
I was first introduced to Jesus Christ through several Korean missionaries from America, who came to my orphanage in Russia one day. A bright green church, which is my favorite color to this day, was implanted right behind my orphanage and the people of the church went around inviting and encouraging people to join them on Sunday mornings. We were told there would be donuts and other food. Of course that would lure any orphan right off the bat. I among other children, joined the church on Sunday mornings. Maybe it was simply the donuts, but I felt accepted right away. Although I was very fond of the things we were told and taught, they appeared to be only stories to me. The stories did not become an entity or reached my heart until after I got adopted into a Christian family three years later.
Jesus was the founder of Christianity. Christianity explains the messaage of Jesus. A Christian is a follower of Christ. Jesus Christ is a central figure of Christiantiy.
In the Foundation of P.E. segment, Dr. Steve Estes, Prof. of Exercise & Sports Science, discusses about Puritan and Protest ideas and perspectives on physical education. Plato, during the antiquity, published The Republic, a book about his views and ideas on P.E. Plato was an Athenian but was very influenced by Sparta. He believed that a person with good behaviors and habits would fit in the position of a soldier. This expresses that people’s character can grow. The Athenians and the Romans appreciated the human body and its aesthetics. Competition during the Middle Ages arose, which resulted implemented that ideas of ethical sport behavior, such as integrity and fairness. The Romans, Greeks, and Plato believed that games and activities needed
I am very dedicated to opening student’s eyes to show them how something as simply as physical activities can change their lives. Giving students confidence to be anything they want in life but it starts inside their bodies first.
EPE 100 has not only taught me so much about becoming a teacher but a ton about myself. Prior to EPE 100, I felt as though I had a solid understanding of what it meant to be a physical education teacher. Do a quick warm up, Rally the students, put them into teams, explain the rules and let them go at it. Man oh man was I wrong. Throughout readings, assignments, and practice I now believe to have a much better understanding of what it means to be a physical education teacher. There has been three major ideas that have begun to influence my teaching philosophy; Teaching for physical literacy and skill development not just sports, embracing physical activity as a lifelong journey and challenging all students inside and outside of the classroom. These three concepts are very important to me as I begin my teaching career and are the three highlights in which I took out of EPE 100.
An angel appeared before a woman named Mary and stated to her that she would give birth to a son. She would name her son Jesus. Mary being a virgin gave birth to a child, conceived by God through his Spirit. Jesus being conceived in a supernatural manner became man and God in one creation. God became incarnate in this child who became known by the name of Jesus (Mathew 1:18-25) . Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, born in a town south of Jerusalem, raised in Nazareth in a small village in Galilee. Jesus was not any ordinary child. Jesus was the son of the living God. Not only was He the son of Mary, He was foremost the Son of God. He was incarnated sent to us for the redemption of all mankind. So how do we handle the incarnation of God?
During the eighth and ninth centuries A.D., a new emphasis began to develop within the religion of Islam. This emphasis was a reaction against the prevailing impersonal and formal nature of Islam. For many Muslims the shari‘a, while seen as necessary, failed to satisfy their deepest spiritual longings and desires. The search for deeper meaning began with a pietistic asceticism, which in turn led to the development of the popular mystical side of Islam - known as tasawwuf or Sufism.
When it comes to physical education, it is very important for students to have a qualified teacher. However, what we perceive to be a fit instruction may be different than the actual instructor’s vision. I interviewed a teacher who provides physical education, Jennifer Slezak, in order to have some insight about physical education in an elementary school. Mrs. Slezak teaches kindergarten through third grade at Rio Bravo Elementary. She is a Reading Intervention teacher Monday through Thursday and teaches physical education on Fridays. She was assigned to teach P.E and has three aides. The sessions are forty-five minutes each to an hour and it’s a whole grade level at a time. For Mrs. Slezak, physical
The perspective of this paper is to develop a philosophy on physical education and then explain what kind of job we plan on having later on in life and relate physical education to that. The purpose for developing this philosophy is to try and get the most out of the people I’m working with on physical education, whether it is an adult or adolescent.
Physical education is defined nowadays as a “systematic instruction in sports, exercises, and hygiene given as part of a school or college program” (Park). When most people think of the term “physical education” they think of it as “a broad, inclusive term comprising the fields of physical education, health education, safety education, athletics, recreation, dance education, kinesiology and so on” (Zeigler 1). It may sometimes be referred to as physical training or gym class and mainly is taught in grades kindergarten all to the way up to your senior year in high-school in the United States. The history of physical education dates way back to the Greek and Roman times and has slowly evolved into what it is now today. There is a
The current education system can be described as a structured blueprint with the overall aims of shaping a child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development and behaviour. Learning is the core focus of schooling, where classrooms are expected to be a place learners develop and acquire skills, habits and knowledge on a regular basis (Demirel, 1993). Within the curriculum, Physical Education (PE) is acknowledged as a unique module in which individual’s acquire physical, social and mental skills through physical activity (Lumpkin, 1998). There has been an increasing number of research surrounding different teaching styles within the education system, and which is more effective in enhancing learning. Jaakkola & Watt (2011), argued that teachers should have the ability and skillset to adapt their teaching styles to suit the learning needs of their students. This was also supported by Kulina and Cothran (2003), who suggested that an effective approach to pedagogical practice is to use a number of different teaching styles.
In the modern schools, too many elementary schools are so centered academics and don’t focus on the well-being of the students. The school systems also don’t realize that physical activity can help students perform better in the classrooms. In the recent years, there has been a worldwide tendency to reduce school-based physical education in favor of academic subjects. Given the beneficial effects of exercise and the disadvantages of a sedentary lifestyle, cutbacks in physical education lessons are not near as productive as people think. Systematic reviews provide clear
