Idealism

Realism

Pragmatism

Existentialism

• How do you envision a PE Program being run?

• What are some of your own goals and objectives?

• What activities do you feel are important to help achieve your goals of the program?

IDEALISM

Idealistic (the glass is half full)

•Reality depends on mind & spirit• Develop body through spirit and mind

• Truth from ideas• Focused on developing character, thus evaluation is

subjective

•Value static & unchanging; foundation for life• Resist change, follow traditional paths

IDEALISM

Sports supported are those that emphasize mental discipline

REALISM

There is an explanation for everything•Reality is based on science• Develop body in measurable ways

• Truth gained through physical world & experience

•Value is something objective• Organized systematic health & fitness-testing; use computers

and comparative standards (objective skill tests and performance)

REALISM

Sports supported are those that can use statistics showing measurement and gains in strength and other measurable factors

PRAGMATISM (experimentation or instrumentalism)

Being pragmatic and practical

•Reality is experienced, ever-changing

• Truth is discovered by experience, go with what works, just adjust & be practical!

•Value is predicted on judgment, based on experience and good of the society

PRAGMATISM

Sports supported are the ones that are most popular with spectators and allow “play”, such as dance and rhythm activities

“What works best!”

EXISTENTIALISM

•Reality lies within individuals & experience of being, freedom of choice & responsibility for morals

•Decisions are based on previous experience, sometimes inconsistent and nonconforming

•Truth through personal experiences

•Freewill, but weighs moral issues•Values determined through self-examination, choices toward

self-realization and self-determination

EXISTENTIALISM

Sports supported are the individual sport vs. team sport and those making no comparisons to norms or standards

Also movement education, rhythms, modern dance, and cooperative group activities to allow self-expression and allows discovery

ECLECTISM•Adopt several philosophies

•Need workable philosophy

•Need philosophy that consistently points in the direction for important administrative decisions (if not then will end in court!)

• 1. Idealist Manager:• Build programs that adhere to the rules and regulation

rigidly. Sportsmanship and character education for athletes would be a priority. “The glass is half full not half empty.”

• 2. Realist Manager:• Support activities that develop the body in measurable

ways. Systematic health and fitness testing using technology. Coaches would use statistics to document performance. “Proof is in the pudding.”

• 3. Pragmatist Manager:• Believe in building school spirit and a diverse program.

Support of the notion of what works best over time is the basis of evaluation. “It is what it is and let’s keep it moving.”

• 4. Existentialist Manager:• Decisions or policy is based on previous experience.

Free will is respected. Programs that have self development are of high importance. Comparison of before and after would be the basis of evaluation. A moral and ethical position is a high priority.
