According to the Australian Curriculum (2016) Health and Physical Education teaches a wide variety of sports with a particular emphasis on how students can enhance their own and others’ health, safety, wellbeing and physical participation.

This study by Spray and Wang helps shed some light on how physical education helps students to become more disciplined in their day to day life. “The highest discipline scores were reported by pupils with high task and ego orientations, perceived competence and feelings of autonomy. The results are useful for teachers and other physical activity leaders in enhancing motivation and disciplined behavior in young people” (Spray, Wang).

Physical education is a vital part of education in schools and has changed significantly over many years and generations to become what it has now from the 1992 curriculum (Accessed at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1992/603/contents/made.

Health and Physical Education provides learning opportunities for students to make meaning of and apply the knowledge and skills related to health and movement. They learn movement skills through physical education. These skills enable them to develop personal, interpersonal, behavioural, cognitive and social skills. Movement skills also encourage students for ongoing participation across their lifespan which leads to positive health outcomes (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2012). According to UNESCO (1999), learning to move and enjoying the freedom of movement is a human right (as cited in ACARA, 2012). HPE promotes movement skills which are important part of daily life to enhance active living. The content of curriculum focuses on developing knowledge and understanding about how body moves

“The authors discuss the growing evidence that strenuous physical activity is not only healthy for the students, but improves their academic performance” (Sattelmair & Ratley, 2009). This article discusses physical education programs and relates it back to the importance of physical activity and cognition. This research suggests that traditional physical education is unnecessary, as they advocate for a program that “emphasizes cognitively, socially, and aerobically demanding activity on a daily basis, one that focuses on personal progress and lifelong fitness activities by encouraging models of physically strenuous play that are engaging, challenging, and enjoyable to students” (Sattelmair & Ratley, 2009). Research evidence is provided on physical education programs that are successful in the development of mental health in the

I believe that physical education and health give a unique opportunity to the students to contribute to the overall well-being and student’s development. As a teacher I believe that the most important things that I can teach my students is a love to be physically active because i believe that physical ability will affect every aspect of student’s life including their mental health, academic achievement, self-esteem, social competency and ability to function well in any environment. The purpose of physical education and health class is to provide the concepts of health and skill related fitness in order to create the student with continuous physically active that can promote the development of life long movers. Physical education and health

Physical education can go beyond just working out. Physical education involves several different approaches for learning. High school students gain more than physical knowledge yet it can improve there approaches toward responsibility, their sportsmanship, and their overall community.

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

Teaching is one of the most important careers that help advance a society. Teachers are important because they are responsible for passing along knowledge from generation to generation. Early Americans made education one of the most important aspects of society when this nation was founded. Formal education has been around thousands of years, but the modern education system in place now originated in the early 20th century. The progressive era in education took place from the 1890s to the 1930s. This era brought about dramatic expansions in the number of schools in the U.S. By 1940, nearly half of young adults were earning a high school diploma (Costrel). One specific type of teacher in a physical education teacher. A physical education teacher holds a big responsibility within the school. They are in charge of keeping the students healthy. P.E. teachers have to have exercise and fun blended into one class. A physical education teacher is a strong career choice because of the pay and benefits, the teamwork aspect, and the sense of self-satisfaction one gets from the career.

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.

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
