Reflection On Physical Education

The Margaret Eaton School (MES) played an important role in Canadian physical education during a period of time known as the “golden age” for women’s sport in Canada. This essay will discuss how Margaret Eaton School came to be and why it is considered one of the leading schools in the development of women’s physical education in Canada in 1901, with the help of Emma Scott Raff and Margaret Eaton. The school started out as “The School of Expression” focusing on theatre and physical culture, and later (1925) shifted its views to focus solely on physical education. I plan to argue that from 1901 to 1942, the Margaret Eaton School played an innovative role in Canada in the development of physical education by offering women a comprehensive

According to a research survey by UniSA’s Emeritus Professor Bruce Johnson, 77% of girls and 74% of boys cited their high school sexual education lessons as their number one source of information on sexuality and relationships, with friends being cited as their second most likely source. Such a large number of Australian teenagers count and rely on their PDHPE classes to teach them such paramount lessons about such an important topic. This leads us to assume that, if such a considerable percentage of high school students rely on these lessons for their sexual education, they must be learning everything they desire to know from these lessons. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Within the same research survey, it was discovered that there were many subjects students wished were taught more in depth. 52% of girls wanted more

When I signed for the human sexuality class, I was so excited to take the class and learn more about sex and gender in a psychological matter. What made me more curious to take this class two elements. Firstly, I have never taken a human sexuality class before neither in schools nor colleges. Secondly, we know that every culture has different beliefs about sex, and as I am an international student and have a different background about sex, I wanted to gain experience from other cultures that will make my thoughts to be more broadened and will extremely help me in my future career.

Human sexuality can be fascinating, complex, contradictory, and sometimes frustrating. Sexuality is interwoven into every aspect of being human; therefore, having knowledge about sex is as essential as having education about human anatomy. However, it is highly recommended to pay close attention when sex education is delivered to youths. (Donatelle 171)

Sex. It is everywhere. We see in television shows. In magazines. On the Internet. But sex is still seen as a taboo subject in our society. I believe that being educated about sexuality is vitally important to one health. Understanding one’s body and how it impacts your life. To understand how your beliefs about sexuality and sex have developed one needs to look back over the years and how your beliefs were engrained in your life. This essay will be based on my reflection by looking back on my sexual history on how and what have significantly impacted my development of sexuality. The focus will be on my reflection of answering the sexual history questions and how I have changed and developed over the years. It is important to analyze and reflect to understand how I came to be today, that the past has created my ideas and beliefs about sex and sexuality that have shaped me.

If for some reason the students are able to handle the lessons of sex, then that means they’re going to be motivated to want to have sex with each other--regardless their sexuality. Evidently this class is going to motivate them, the students, to have sex, and the students are not going to give a flip about the results. They’re going to eventually learn that sex can be a pleasurable action as explained in both stage three and five of Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual development theory. Stage three, which is the phallic stage, states that around the age of three to five years old, the child will seek for pleasure that is centered on masturbation and/or oral sex. Furthermore, stage five of the theory, which is the genital stage, states that around the age of 12 through adulthood centers on the seeking for sexual pleasuring through romantic

Relate value systems and critical thinking to your sexual decision making before and after this course.

During the 1950’s, many American educational videos were polarized towards the male gender, especially in sexual education videos for adolescents. After reviewing a sexual education video that was produced during the 1950’s, I can infer that society during this time period was very male-dominated and strictly abided by traditional gender roles since it prioritized the curriculum of a male’s reproductive system. Although today’s society no longer defines a woman as a passive, stay-at-home mother and has started to embrace the minority of individuals who identify with various sexualities and genders, I can deduce that there were no major changes in sexual education from the 1950’s and now. This is because there is a lack for comprehensive sexual

Upon enrolling in Sexual Communication, my initial belief was that I️t would be an easy course. I also had the belief that I wouldn’t learn much due to my prior knowledge regarding sex and communication. Weeks later, this notion was dismissed and I began learning facts, tips, and other pieces of information I most likely would not been exposed to if I did not enroll into this class.

Sex and gender play a big part in american society today and are often misconstrued. These two topics have become progressive as people are starting to express their gender and sexuality in ways other than what is and has been considered the norm. Many people believe that sexuality and gender are synonymous with one another. Gender is socially constructed while sex is biologically determined. In society’s past, Americans often strayed away from discussing controversial topics, but with the rise of different ways of addressing people, it is deemed more important to understand. Along with the blurred lines of gender and sex comes sexuality, who someone is attracted to sexually. When people stray from society’s heteronormative mindset, they are often faced with many more challenges than the average hetero man or woman. People often have the preconceived notion that if something does not concern them, then they should not be involved in it. A person who could be your neighbor, co worker, or even child, may have to deal with the troubles of people confusing their gender identity with their sex. While also facing challenges that deal with the sex of the person they choose to love. Learning the difference between gender and sexuality will open the eyes of many people and see how the two are different but relate to one another very much.

Physical education should be a fun class, but fun does not have to mean chaos. I believe in a structure that will allow the students to have fun in a safe way. My lesson plans will be structured so that students are constantly engaged in physical activity. I feel that if I can keep students moving and learning, then the chances of misbehavior will decrease. In elementary school I feel that Instant Activities should be used to get students moving when they get into my class. High school is a little different. I feel that students at the secondary school level should be introduced physical fitness activities that will help keep them in shape later on in life.

This week, we talked about a topic that is not brought up on a regular basis. Before class, we were asked to look at the diagram of sex and gender. I love this. I think this is something that everyone should look at if they are confused about the differences. This does not only do an amazing job at simply explaining the differences, it also has a visual diagram that is quick and easy to understand. We were also asked to watch “The Purity Myth” video. This video was extremely interesting. This is a topic that we don’t think about. A huge part of this video that I though was interesting was the abstinence training. Not only is it not helpful, it is also not true. The fact that abstinence only training has not helped at all and it has even risen

As I reflect on this course and my understanding and practices in the area of sexuality and gender, I realized that there is more to sexuality when it involves a therapeutic relationship. The sexuality intake interview truly opened my eyes to how much information is needed to truly access a clients that is seeking therapy regarding sexuality issues. The interview, also made me realize that some areas that I thought I was comfortable I was not. However, as expected I knew that I would be more comfortable asking someone I did not know about their sexual history than someone I did.

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.

Upon entering this course, my understanding of human sexuality was decent; I was aware of certain aspects of sexuality such as being straight, gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, etc. Nevertheless, I did not realize how expansive sexuality is; it never occurred to me that sexual health, prostitution, marriage, rape, sex trafficking, divorce, families, etc., all fell under the umbrella of human sexuality. Books and essays such as Renee Hill’s Walk Together and David Shneer’s “Out of School” showcased the multiple facets of human sexuality and how terms like queer are not directly related to homosexuality. While sexuality and homosexuality are linked, frequently, people mistake them as being synonymous; before entering this class, I was searching for a definition of sexuality, and often in the thesaurus section of dictionary websites homosexuality and or sexual orientation was considered a synonym of sexuality. Formerly, I too would have agreed they were the same, however, after taking this course, I concluded that homosexuality is just one topic in the broad discussion of sexuality. My understanding of sexuality now is that it
