EMR442 Curriculum Method 2: Senior Health, Physical, Outdoor and Environmental Education (8)

Abstract

This is the second curriculum subject in the Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE), Key Learning Area (KLA) and examines the KLA syllabuses and related support materials. Students learn to program, differentiate the senior HPE curriculum and develop quality learning experiences that are aligned with the intellectual quality domain of the Quality Teaching Framework. Information Communication Technologies (ICT), the concept of authentic and effective pedagogy and the key syllabus processes of critical inquiry and practical application are explored. The subject examines assessment and critiques the implementation of these requirements in school policies and practices. The subject further explores the place and meaning of Health and Physical Education (HPE) beyond the school curriculum by identifying implementation issues, developing strategies for effective teaching/assessment and encourages students to value HPE as a lifelong learning experience.
