Quality physical education: a commentary on effective physical education teaching
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport
|August 8, 2014
Summary
Quality teaching in physical education requires strong content knowledge and a holistic approach, emphasizing play and diverse learning experiences. Advocating for a broader scope is crucial for the field's future policy and research.
Area of Science:
- Physical Education Pedagogy
- Teacher Quality
- Educational Policy
Background:
- The commentary responds to three articles (McKenzie & Lounsbery, 2013; Rink, 2013; Ward, 2013) concerning physical education.
- It introduces the concept of 'quality teaching' as a more comprehensive alternative to 'teacher effectiveness'.
- Addresses limitations in teacher content knowledge within physical education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To advocate for a holistic approach to physical education that encompasses the whole child.
- To emphasize the importance of student connection to content for enhanced learning gains.
- To discuss policy implications and the need for a broader research agenda in physical education.
Main Methods:
- Commentary and critical analysis of existing literature.
- Conceptual argument for a broader definition of physical education.
- Exploration of assessment from social-critical and political perspectives.
Main Results:
- Teacher content knowledge is a significant factor in student learning, requiring a strong student-content relationship.
- A holistic approach, including play, fosters diverse skills, knowledge, and positive attitudes for active lifestyles.
- Current policy and research agendas may be too narrow, potentially harming the future of physical education.
Conclusions:
- Quality teaching in physical education necessitates robust content knowledge and a comprehensive, holistic pedagogical approach.
- Physical education should be viewed broadly, integrating play and diverse learning experiences beyond mere physical activity.
- The field must broaden its research appreciation and policy focus to ensure its future potential and impact.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
2.4K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

01:24Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback
228
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

01:23Methods of Documentation V: CBE
1.3K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

01:27Exercise and Muscle Performance
6.1K
Exercise induces a range of adaptations in muscle tissue, depending on the type and duration of activity. Such physical training can be broadly categorized into two types: endurance exercises and resistance exercises.
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...

2.1K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
