Evaluate the lesson plan according to the following NSW Quality Teaching model elements.
Evaluation score – refer to NSW QTM Classroom Practice Guide for each element
Comments incl. evidence for evaluation score (2 sentences)
1 Intellectual quality
1.1 Deep knowledge
1 – 2 – 3 – Comments: Most activities were central to the lesson objectives i.e.
4–5 throwing and catching. Discussion of the lesson topics were encouraged
throughout with reflective questions during and at the end to reinforce
learning outcomes.
1.5 Metalanguage
1 – 2 – 3 – Comments: Despite use of coach’s eye, a visual aspect, the lesson outcome
4–5 is based around a skill that is demonstrated physically and with visual
prompts and aids (coach’s eye). There is little aspects of text apart from the
skill terminology for students to analyse aside from skill: preparation,
execution and follow-through.

interact with students can be adapted in one of the activities i.e. knock-
down.
2.2 Engagement
1 – 2 – 3 – Comments: Improvements to the warm-up may increase engagement to
4–5 students who appear indifferent to the lesson objectives. However, the
variety in activities planned and use of several pieces of equipment engage
most students in the lesson.
3 Significance
3.1 Background knowledge
1 – 2 – 3 – Comments: Background knowledge is not specifically mentioned in this
4–5 lesson plan. However, it is noted that this is the second lesson conducted.
Therefore, an assumed amount of background knowledge would be
expected.
3

3.4 Inclusivity
1 – 2 – 3 – Comments: The activities are planned based on the expectation of student
4–5 participation. There is partner and group work, and implementation of
Indigenous games may be significant for some but not all groups.
3.5 Connectedness
1 – 2 – 3 – Comments: Besides meeting the syllabus outcome, there is little to no
4–5 reference made on how or why these movement skills are necessary or
relative to real-life context. Assumptions on developing student motor
skills and how students share these skills outside of school is not connected
in the lesson.
3.6 Narrative
1 – 2 – 3 – Comments: Some background/history is added to the lesson. However, it is
4–5 not the focus and is only a minor part of the lesson.

Justification
The focus of this modified lesson plan was to implement an inquiry-based learning
(IBL) approach. Educators are constantly faced with the need to apply best pedagogical
practice in order to explore and implement activities that engage students and meet the
learning outcomes (Frati, Granikov & Pluye, 2020). The IBL approach aims to provide the
space for students to explore their innovativeness, teacher’s drawing on evidence-based
practice that influences their pedagogical approach (Acar & Tuncdogan, 2019). Teachers
adopting the IBL approach, allow students to construct their own knowledge as individuals
or in this lesson plan, as a group (Acar & Tuncdogan, 2019). It is evident that facilitating
discussion through scaffolding questions and activities that develop team or individual
inquiry has great potential for enhancing student’s progress (Acar & Tuncdogan, 2019). The
modifications demonstrate IBL as a key element of the lesson. The activities facilitated in
the lesson allow for student collaboration and teamwork where the teacher simply explains
the context of the activity, and the students are put into groups to carry out the ‘knock-
down’ activity. In addition, a task is set following the activity that progresses from the skill
‘throwing’ that is being developed. Students are instructed to collaborate in groups, whilst
using an app that records their movement and allows them to visually reflect on how well
they are executing the skill. The lesson activities are very much student-centred where the
teacher asks questions to engage student inquiry as well as reinforce their learning. The use
of equipment and engaging in several mediums justify the implementation of an inquiry-
based learning (IBL) approach.
The warm-up activity was also modified to address evidence-based pedagogical
approach. The use of evidence-based literature and the implementation of such among
Physical Education (PE) practitioners is widespread (Georgakis, Wilson & Evans, 2015).
However, application to specific pedagogical approaches in PE such as Game Sense address
the ‘engagement’ element of the Quality learning environment dimension as stated in the
NSW Quality Teaching Model (QTM). Adopting this approach into a practical setting can
contribute to developing students understanding and ability to apply skills from a game
context and relate it into real-life (Light & Evans, 2011). As PDHPE lessons primary consist of
four parts i.e. warm-up, introductory drill, game-based activity and the endgame or cool
down (Barney & Leavitt, 2019). For pre-service PDHPE teachers, the warm-up is
acknowledged as the most important part of the lesson with regards to setting the tone and
14
102086 Design, Teaching & Learning Brittany Kalauni 19051215
engaging students from the start of the lesson (Barney & Leavitt, 2019). It is also important
that the activity is both relative and fun to the remainder of the lesson as well as elevating
the level of physical activity for students (James & Collier, 2011). Physical education
contributes significantly to reduce student levels of physical inactivity and demonstrating
sedentary behaviour. Therefore, it is important that lesson plans facilitate physical activity
with effective activities to engage students (Mayorga-Vega, Martínez-Baena & Viciana,
2018). The original lesson plan did lack the connectedness element of the Quality learning
environment dimension as stated in the NSW Quality Teaching Model (QTM). By
implementing a game-based warm-up, this moves away from old teaching practice that
suggest warmups need to be stationary stretches or repetitive dynamic movements (Zach,
Harari & Harari, 2012). The use of game-sense pedagogy is justified as student engagement
and learning is significantly impacted by teaching efficacy (Zach, Harari & Harari, 2012).
Game sense pedagogy provides significant learning for students outside of PE and school.
Learning in an active but social context challenges students, meeting the requirements of
the NSW Quality Teaching Model (QTM) of providing high quality teaching (Light, Curry &
Mooney, 2014).
The lesson plan was also modified to provide background knowledge to the
Indigenous game included in the lesson activity. As the new Australian Curriculum suggests,
the Physical Education curriculum demonstrates the great potential for inclusive and
acknowledging approaches in a PE setting (Louth & Jamieson-Proctor, 2018). The
modification made, suggested allowing time before the ‘Weet-weet’ activity to give a brief
but meaningful history and acknowledgement of the Indigenous roots of the activity. The
use of providing background knowledge to the Indigenous games used in lessons are
inclusive of Indigenous perspective and support meaningful change to occur in the face of
society (Williams, 2018). The modification is justified as it meets inclusive and engagement
requirements under the NSW QTM through Indigenous games and how it can enhance
physical self-efficacy in students (Louth & Jamieson-Proctor, 2018).
