TEACHING SYLLABUS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION(JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 1 3)

RATIONALE FOR TEACHING PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The teaching and learning of Physical Education is based principles of science, psychology, sociology and movement education. The subject has developed fromsimple drills to a varied pattern of activities aimed at improving the physical well-being of individuals and communities.

Some of the reasons for offering Physical Education in schools are that Physical Education improves the general health of the individual, improves the generalhealth of a community leading to lower absenteeism from school and work, creates the love for sports and games, serves as basis for the training of potentialathletes for clubs and the nation, imparts a healthy and positive attitude of mind that helps academic work in school. It is for these and other reasons that accessto Physical Education and sports activities is enshrined as a fundamental human right in the UNESCO charter on Physical Education and Sports which states, interalia, that Every human being has a fundamental right of access to Physical Education and Sports which are essential for the full development of ones personality.The freedom to develop physical, intellectual and more powers through Physical Education and Sports must be guaranteed both within the educational system andin other aspects of social life.

This syllabus places premium on mass participation of pupils in games and sports, rather than on competitive sports which is one aspect of the total PhysicalEducation programme. The coverage or scope of the syllabus is therefore that ofwidth rather than ofdepth in which case a few pupils are always selected andtrained in sporting activities to represent the school. The syllabus has been designed to promote inclusive education. No child should be left out of PhysicalEducation activities for any reason other than temporary ones.

GENERAL AIMS

The syllabus is designed to help the pupil to:

1. participate in regular physical activity for a healthy life

2. develop interest in participating in games and sports.

3. develop a healthy spirit for competitive sports.

4. develop mental, moral and social skills.

5. become a self-reliant and confident person.

objectives of each activity. Physical Education is a competency based subject. This means you have to ensure that each pupil attains competency in each of theactivity before progressing to the next activity.

Lastly, bear in mind that the syllabus cannot be taken as a substitute for lesson plans. It is necessary that you develop a scheme of work and lesson plans forteaching the activities of this syllabus.

DEFINITION OF PROFILE DIMENSIONS

Profile dimensions describe the underlying behaviours for teaching, learning and assessment. In Physical Education, the emphasis is on practical skills. Theaction verbs used in most of the specific objectives are therefore verbs like perform, demonstrate, run, etc. Three profile dimensions are specified in PhysicalEducation for teaching, learning and testing at both primary and JHS levels and are weighted as follows:

Knowledge and Understanding 10%Application of Knowledge 10%Practical Skills 80%

Each of the dimensions has been given a percentage weight that should be reflected in teaching, learning and testing. The weights indicated on the right of thedimensions show the relative emphasis that the teacher should give in the teaching, learning and testing processes. Combining the three dimensions in theteaching and learning process will ensure that Physical Education is taught and studied not only at the psychomotor level, but will also ensure cognitive andaffective skills development on the part of pupils. Note also that knowledge and application are also involved in skill practice.

The explanation and key words involved in each of the profile dimensions are as follows:

Knowledge and Understanding (KU)

knowledge The ability to:remember, recall, identify, define, describe, list, name, match, state principles, facts and concepts. Knowledge simply means the ability toremember or recall material already learned and constitutes the lowest level of learning.

understanding The ability to:explain, summarise, translate, rewrite, paraphrase, give examples, generalize, estimate or predict consequences based upon a trend.

Understanding is generally the ability to grasp the meaning of some material that may be verbal, pictorial, or symbolic.

Application of Knowledge (AK)

Ability to use knowledge or apply knowledge has a number of learning/behaviour levels. These levels include application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.These may be considered and taught separately, paying attention to reflect each of them equally in your teaching. The dimension Application of Knowledge is asummary dimension for all four learning levels. Details of each of the four levels are as follows.

application The ability to:apply rules, methods, principles, theories, etc. to concrete situations that are new and unfamiliar. It also involves the ability to produce,solve, operate, plan, demonstrate, discover, reproduce, etc.


13/73

xiii

analysis The ability to:break down material into its component parts; to differentiate, compare, distinguish, outline, separate, identify significant points, etc.,recognize unstated assumptions and logical fallacies, recognize inferences from facts, etc.

synthesis The ability to:put parts together to form a new whole. It involves the ability to combine, compile, compose, devise, plan, revise, design, organize,create, generate, discuss, etc.

evaluation The ability to:appraise, compare features of different things and make comments or judgement, contrast, criticize, justify, support, discuss, conclude,make recommendations, etc. Evaluation refers to the ability to judge the worth or values of some material based on some criteria.

Practical skills (PS)

Practical skills refer to the psychomotor domain. This involves the demonstration of manipulative skills using tools, machines, equipment and practical physicalactivities to carry out operations and to solve practical problems or demonstrate some practice. The teaching and assessment of practical skills should involveprojects, demonstrations, case studies and other creative practical tasks. Skills required for effective practical work in physical education are the following:

1. Equipment Handling2. Observation and Imitation3. Manipulation4. Communication5. Etiquette and Courtesy (Etiquette and Courtesy is an affective behaviour. It is added to practical skills for purposes of convenience. It is

important that these attitudinal skills be developed by pupils as a prelude for curtailing and minimizing hooliganism in sports and games.

Equipment Handling: Pupils should be able to handle and use equipment properly for practical Physical Education and sports activities. The teacher shouldensure that pupils acquire a high level of proficiency in the use of tools and equipment in the relevant aspect of Physical Education.

Observation and Imitation: The pupil should be able to use his/her senses to make accurate observations of skills and techniques for carrying out someoperations. Observation should go with imitation. The pupil in this case should be able to accurately imitate the techniques he/she has observed in order to

perform task and related tasks accurately.

Manipulation: Manipulation involves the skilful/handling of objects and tools for accomplishing specific tasks and movement of body, body parts in space andtime.

Communication: Pupils should be guided to develop effective oral and non-verbal communication skills necessary for group work, reports, etc.

Etiquette and Courtesy: Pupils should be able to demonstrate courtesy, fair-play and good sportsmanship both within and outside Physical Education lessons.


14/73

xiv

FORM OF ASSESSMENT

Physical Education is not expected to be formally examined. The assessment should therefore take the form of School-Based Assessment (SBA). Gradingassessment in Physical Education should use simple descriptors of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory as indicated in the chart below. A guideline to help the

teacher obtain formative continuous information on pupils performance is indicated below.

DISTRIBUTION OF ASSESSMENT WEIGHTS

DIMENSION GRADING SBA REMARKS

KNOWLEDGE ANDUNDERSTANDING

SATISFACTORY OR UNSATISFACTORY SATISFACTORY =Demonstrates acceptable level of knowledge and understanding

UNSATISFACTORY = Demonstrates unacceptable level of knowledge andunderstanding.

APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE SATISFACTORY OR UNSATISFACTORY SATISFACTORY = Demonstrates acceptable level of knowledge and attitudinal skills.

UNSATISFACTORY = Demonstrates unacceptable level of knowledge and attitudinal

skills.
