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

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.

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.

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.

• 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

• examples of evidence-based health

education initiatives Confusion exists in the

relationship between health education

activities and the broader area of health

promotion Health educators are hard-working,

enthusiastic and dedicated professionals

effective strategies and core competencies 12

• core health education skills and competencies

• the relationship among health education and other components of the health-

promoting system
