Full Description
How well do I take account of the needs of different classes and individual learners to facilitate and enhance progress? Do I plan for progress based on where learners are currently at? Does the curriculum facilitate and enhance progress?
Exploring these questions and more, this book examines what progress in physical education looks like and conditions for facilitating and enhancing the progress of individual learners across different domains of learning.
Progression and Progress in Physical Education contains 12 units, each of which highlights an aspect of progression or progress in physical education. Throughout, the book emphasises that it is individual learners that make progress therefore highlighting the importance of catering for the holistic, individual learner. Grouped into four sections, units cover:
- What is meant by progression, progress and learning?
- The holistic nature of individual learners
- The Physical, Cognitive and Affective Domains of learning
- Teaching to facilitate and enhance progress
- Recognising and charting progress
- The role of the curriculum in facilitating and enhancing progress
- The broader context in which physical education teachers work
Filled throughout with examples of existing good practice and useful tips, this text will support all primary and secondary physical education teachers in facilitating and enhancing learner progress in physical education.
