Lesson 1: The Nature and Meaning of Physical Education
To define Physical Education, we need to say that it is an educational process that aims to improve
human development and performance through physical activity. It tends to take place at school through
formal lessons, but it also includes informal activity such as play.
Physical Education is a process of learning, the context being mainly physical. The purpose of this
process is to develop specific knowledge, skills and understanding and to promote physical competence.
Different sporting activities can and do contribute to this learning process, and the learning process
enable participations in sports. The focus, however, is on the child and his or her development of physical
competence rather that activity.
Physical Education is an area in which physical activity is valued and integrated into daily living. It is
anchored in three fundamental axioms that lead to these guiding principles:
➢ Individual – It recognizes that people are active for all sorts of reasons, work, play, challenge and
achievement, health and personal development.
➢ Social – It focuses on the individual but it also recognizes that social norms and values, available
resources, influential learners and other factors affect our choices and opportunities for
participations.
➢ Inclusive – It provides essential ways to express who we are as individuals or groups. It is a right of
all, regardless of ability, age, gender, race, ethnic background, religion, socio-economic status or
educational achievement. (Jamaica Gleamer 2015)

Lesson 2: The Foundation of Physical Education
The foundations areas of Physical Education are its sociocultural, scientific and pedagogical
foundations.
The cultural foundations of Physical Education are sports history and sport philosophy. These
include our heritage in though and deed, our philosophy, our history, our art, our literature.
The social foundations of Physical Education are sports sociology, exercise and sports psychology.
The scientific foundations are concerned with social phenomena. Along with the science areas are
motor behaviour, which branches from psychology but includes aspects of the scientific foundations,
biomechanics and exercise physiology. (“The Academic Foundations of Exercise Science and Kinesiology”,
2013).
A quality Physical Education programs must be built on a strong pedagogical foundation. The
curriculum for PE builds on the prior knowledge and skills that the students will have obtained through the
Basic Education PE Curriculum. The PE Curriculum will help also promote the development of a life-long
interest in sports participations. (“Framework for Physical Education, 2014”).
The Sub-disciplines of Physical Education Program
1. Exercise Physiology is devoted to how the body functions during exercise.
2. Sports Biomechanics is concerned with the effects of natural laws and forces on the human body
during sporting activities.
3. Sport Psychology covers two areas of interest: motor skill learning and motor performance. At issue
are the psychological factors affecting the learning and performance of physical skills and the impact
of both internal and external factors on individual.
4. Motor Behaviour deals with the learning and improvement of physical skills.
5. Sport Philosophy attempts to define and clarify sports and the sporting experience to determine the
place and meaning of sports in our lives.
6. Sport History is the critical examination of the past, with a focus on events, people, and trends that
influenced the development and direction of the field.
7. Sport Sociology is concerned with the social behaviour of people in the sport setting, both
individually and as a group.
8. Movement Pedagogy is concerned with teaching, particularly teaching play and the skills used in
sporting situations. It includes the study of the teaching methods and many other elements tied to the
concerns of the profession of Physical Education.
