INTRODUCTION
Civilization changes, therefore, developing technology for the 21st century
will require skills as well as qualifications that one can hardly think of at the
moment. The preparation for, and proof of this has to come through education and
for that reason, the way pupils are
taught in schools today has to change,
as a lot of young people today are
lacking appropriate attitudes and
social skills (i.e. skills such as
flexibility, adaptability, punctuality,
responsibility, creativity as well as citizenship, self-management and
communication will have to be improved). So, in this unstable environment,
children need to learn elementary skills rather than knowledge, and develop
attitudes enabling them to keep developing those skills throughout their life. In
other words, they have to learn how to keep developing permanently and/by
learning constantly. And this is what schools have to equip young generations
with today. In the case of physical education, all children should be able to take
part in physical activity organized in school settings. It is also the school which
should provide them with a lot of fun and enjoyment, without making them feel
embarrassed or teased by others for their lack of technical ability. It is partly the
school’s role to keep them active and thus healthy.

Lesson 1: BASIC CONCEPT IN HEALTH AND MOVEMENT
EDUCATION
Nature of Movement Education
Movement education is about teaching movement through four key
concepts: body, space, effort, and relationships. When teaching students about the
body, the focus is on actions such as non-locomotor, locomotor, and manipulative
skills.
Origins of Movement Education
Movement education began as part of dance education in the 1800s but
found its way into physical education and other exercise classes from the 1960s to
1980s. While it is considered to be under the umbrella of physical education in
schools, movement education really strives to go further than your traditional gym
class. It addresses four key concepts within the context of movement: body,
relationship, space, and effort.
Movement Education
Acquisition of movement skill is a key
factor for students choosing to lead to
physically active and healthy lifestyles.
Students are less likely to participate in physical
activity if they have not learned the skills or
experienced success applying them. Within the Movement, the student will
demonstrate competency in selected movement skills, and knowledge of
movement development and physical activities with respect to different types of
learning environments, and cultures.
The knowledge component focusses on the basic movement skills,
movement concepts, mechanical principles for efficient movement and skill
development process. Increasing students’ cognitive awareness of what the

2 Units
movement should look like, how it should be performed, or why it should be
performed in a particular way assists in motor learning and skill acquisition.
Movement Enhancement creates a functional and comprehensive training
programs intended to improve movement pattern in the body. Individuals may
benefit in improving their strength, posture and sleep, enhance their confidence,
social skills and sense of achievement.
The basic movement skills are the building blocks for participation in all physical
activity and are the prerequisites to many lifetime physical activities and sports.
Physical activities/sports are the means to develop the basic movement skills,
which may look different in the context of different physical activities (e.g., the
overhead throwing pattern looks different in baseball, football, or in a tennis
serve.)
Many different physical activities/sports could serve as vehicles for
achieving specific student learning outcomes related to movement. For balance
programming, however, specific student learning outcomes have been developed
for different types of learning experiences.

in the space provided for 50-100 words only. Be guided
with the rubric presented after the answer sheet.
What is your view regarding the importance of movement in establishing a
physically active lifestyle?
To put it simply, how can you be physically active if you’re not doing the
most important and simplest thing which is moving or the movement of your
body. By moving, we improve our muscles which are good for our body and it
stability. It is a simple thing for us because we constantly move. Our bodies are

destined to run, jump and manipulate objects. But how often do we make full use
of our bodies? Movement is very important because everything you do requires
you to move. Movement is a daily activity that helps us escape and get away from
our enemies despite looking for food, good water, a better standard of living, etc.
This is one of the most distinctive characteristics of living organisms. We need to
focus more on movement skills because they allow us to function and work
effectively in different societies. Exercise helps the flexibility of the body's
muscles, supports the elasticity of the muscles, and maintains normal tone,
preventing internal and external heart diseases, as well as physical activities that
can increase the heart rate.
During this pandemic, we are all forced to undergo additional stress
regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential to threaten our health.
Therefore, in order to protect ourselves from the virus and reduce the negative
effects of stress and anxiety. is to be physically and mentally healthy.
When this pandemic arrived many individuals have noticed the importance
of establishing a physically active lifestyle, they often do moderate physical
activity (such as speed-walking or jogging) to be physically fit, and this has been
shown to help reduce the use of alcohol and other substances. In addition,
participation in regular physical activity is shown to boost the immune system.
Because without regular activity, your body slowly loses its strength, stamina, and
the ability to function properly. It’s like the old saying: you don’t stop moving
from growing old, you grow old from stopping moving. Exercise increases muscle
strength, which in turn increases your ability to do other physical activities. We
should do more exercise to keep the doctors away especially during this
pandemic.

7 REASONS WHY PHYSICAL EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT IN
SCHOOL
1. GOOD HEALTH. The value of physical fitness can never be
overstated. It’s only in physical educational
classrooms that students learn the value of taking
care of themselves thru proper grooming, healthy
eating and regular exercise.
2. It’s a preventive measure against disease. Many doctors today agree that
obesity is a serious health risk. Without any form of diet management and control
with the numerous processed food students intake everyday compounded by a
sedentary lifestyle.
3. It’s a program for muscle strength and fitness.
Physical education develops the student’s motor skills
and hand-eye coordination. It also develops the upper
body muscles through activities like doing push up as
well the lower body muscles through stationary
jumping jacks etc.
4. It promotes academic learning. Physical
health allows students to function even better in
classrooms. A good cardiovascular system developed
from regular exercise promotes excellent blood and
oxygen circulation.
2 Units
5. It builds self esteem. Students who are active in physical activities like
basketball, volleyball, martials arts and running just to name a few are more
confident with themselves according to most social school studies.
5. Teamwork and sportsmanship skill. Most
physical education programs are holistic. the
program allows student to interact together to a
common goal and that is to win and excel
physically. It brings out the competitive sides of
students working both body and mind but also
promotes sportsmanship.
6. It promotes a physically active lifestyle. The purpose of physical education is
to instill in students, at an early age, the value of self-preservation and choosing a
lifestyle that is good for both the mind and body.
Health education activities are taking place
throughout the Region but much of this effort
appears to be restricted to the production of
materials and presentations for the purpose of
raising public awareness of health-related
issues. Not only is this approach limiting but its effectiveness has, to date, not
been thoroughly assessed or reported in the Region.
2 Units
• Many health educators are often expected
to divide their time between their own work
and projects involving the broader aspects
of health promotion (i.e. public policies,
healthy environments, cross-government
initiatives).
• Many health educators have limited
specialized training and therefore have, in some cases, restricted their activities to
social marketing and information-dissemination strategies. Often they lack an
understanding of the theoretical foundations of health education and the ways in
which these theories and concepts can be applied.
• Many health educators do not have access to the tools required to be effective
practitioners; to engage in needs/capacity assessments, plan comprehensive health
behaviour change initiatives and assess programme impacts.
• Confusion exists in the relationship between health education and the broader
area of health promotion. The ways in which health educators can meaningfully
contribute to the goals of health promotion are not well defined. In response to
these challenges, a number of ministry of health staff within the countries of the
Region have started expressing a need for more clearly defined roles and updated
skills in health education practice. The purpose of this foundation document is to
begin a process of reviewing and strengthening health education capacity in the
countries of the Region. Specifically, the document will focus on the following:
• the role of health educators and their importance
• key health behaviour change theories and models
