Physical Education PE3B Perspectives (U01547)

? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : EDU-3-PEP

PE3B Perspectives enlists accounts of discipline-based knowledge familiar to students from their first two years of study. These have been previously described as aesthetics, science and socio-cultural forms of enquiry. Drawing upon relevant and applied disciplinary accounts they can aid the evolvement of professional perspectives held by student teachers, leading them to informed judgements on how physical education can contribute to pupils development, and, to the enrichment of teaching and learning as part of stated National Priorities (SEED 2000). By adopting the linking strands of the Physical Education course (curriculum, physical activities, pupils, teaching and learning), PE3B Perspectives endorses the supposition that there are holistic explanations to life in schools, and, to the ways teachers and pupils engage in physical education. The multi-various demands made of PE teachers in a rapidly evolving climate of purpose and function for schools curricula, suggests an imperative for study based on links between ideas, themes and allied knowledge that informs professional action. This premise of deploying inter-disciplinary accounts gives credence to a form of study now required by teachers in their curriculum decision making. The professional in action is often implicitly or explicitly drawing upon different combinations of knowledge to account for what they do in the school day and beyond.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

On completion of this 20-credit course, students will be able to:-
1. Evaluate critically the development of curriculum models in physical education.
2. Review the relationships between factors that influence physical education in the broader social setting (including sport).
3. Appreciate the significance of meanings participants attach to their involvement in physical education and sport.
4. Analyse pupil movement capacities through a number of diagnostic approaches
5. Explain the links between teaching and learning through recourse to relevant literature and research.

Assessment Information

Students will be required to produce work as part of formative assessment procedures. These should allow a) student subject focus, b) checks on student progress with basic ideas/theory and c) students to become more confident in explaining and developing these for teaching purposes.
Students will be required to prepare for a synoptic examination as the summative form of assessment. This will consist of a seen written examination (two/three hours) that draws on the accounts conveyed in PE3B Perspectives.
