Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper will develop your knowledge, skills and understanding about teaching and learning with health and physical education (HPE) for students in the primary and intermediate school setting. Through the critical examination of national curriculum statements, teaching approaches, and learning environments, you will have the opportunity to explore your personal philosophies of health and health education, movement and physical education, and relationships education and then plan for, apply and reflect on these in practical teaching experiences.

This paper focuses on:

1. The place of health and physical education in the New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007);

2. The theoretical underpinnings and structure of Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 1999; 2007);

3. The importance of and processes for creating and maintaining caring and inclusive learning communities in health and physical education;

4. Developing quality teaching practices that foster student participation, learning and enjoyment of HPE;

5. Developing subject content knowledge of contemporary HPE.

This paper provides opportunities for you to develop the skills, attributes, and knowledge related to the University of Waikato, Faculty of Education graduate profile and academic rationale and goals, particularly those that relate to the purposes, principles, practices and issues related to HPE. This paper also allows you to develop your professional knowledge, practice, values and relationships as outlined in the Graduating Teacher Standards: Aotearoa New Zealand. Specific standards identified in this paper are 1, 3, 4 & 6 and some aspects of 2, 5 & 7 are also addressed.
