14.3

Issues and Problems: Physical Inactivity

•Today’s children are less physically active•Technology potential•Motivating to increase physical activity•Active Software

– Downhill Skier– Dance Dance Revolution– Golf


14.4

Issues and Problems: Instructional Time

• Refocus of school priorities to meeting standards in content areas and with testing

• Less emphasis on health and physical education• Recommendations

– 50 hours of health instruction per year– (K-5) 150 minutes of physical education instruction per

week – (6-12) 225 minutes of physical education instruction per

week


14.5

Issues and Problems: Accuracy of Health and Physical Education

Resources

With the wide range of information on the Internet, students need to: • Become more information literate• Become good consumers of health and fitness production and information• Differentiate between accurate and inaccurate information in a health and fitness context


14.6

Issues and Problems: Standards

• National Physical Education Standards– http://www.aahperd.org/naspe/

• National Health Education Standards– http://www.eric.ed.gov/ (report: ed387483)

• Need for greater implementation of the standards

• Technology can assist by– Posting and sharing information– Sharing successful standards-based curricula– Standards-based software
