TEACHING SYLLABUS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION(PRIMARY SCHOOL)

RATIONALE FOR TEACHING PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The teaching and learning of Physical Education is based on principles from science, psychology, sociology and movement education.The subject has developed from simple drills to varied patterns of activities aimed at improving the physical well-being of individualsand communities.

Some of the reasons for offering Physical Education in schools are that Physical Education improves the general health of theindividual; improves the general health of a community leading to lower absenteeism from school and work; creates the love for sportsand games; serves as basis for the training of potential athletes for clubs and the nation; and imparts a healthy and positive attitude ofmind that helps academic work in school. It is for these and other reasons that access to Physical Education and sports activities isenshrined as a fundamental human right in the UNESCO Charter on Physical Education and Sports which states, inter alia, that Everyhuman being has a fundamental right of access to Physical Education and Sport which are essential for the full development of one spersonality. The freedom to develop physical, intellectual and moral powers through Physical Education and Sport must be guaranteedboth within the educational system and in other aspects of social life.

Physical Education and sports in Primary Schools should therefore provide a wide range of learning experiences through play and sportmovement. The most important purpose of Physical Education at this level is the development of mechanical efficiency i.e. co-ordination, awareness, relationships and skills characterized by the use of large muscles in vigorous activities featuring manipulative,locomotor and non-locomotor skills. The key words at this level are PLAY and FUN.

The syllabus places premium on mass participation of pupils in games and sports, rather than on competitive sports which is only oneaspect of the total Physical Education programme. The coverage or scope of the syllabus is therefore that of width rather than ofdepth in which case, few pupils are always selected and trained in sporting activities to represent the school. The syllabus is

designed to allow for inclusive education. No child should be left out of Physical Education.

iii

GENERAL AIMS

The syllabus is designed to help the pupil to:

1. maintain personal health through physical fitness.

2. develop mental, moral and social capabilities.

3. become a confident person.

4. appreciate healthy competition in sports.

5. become an active participant in games and sports.

SCOPE

The syllabus covers the six-year period of Primary School and embraces:

i) Athleticsii) Gamesiii) Gymnastics and Dance

Athletics

Athletics should be taught throughout the six-year period. From Primary 1-3, the activities to be taught should be informal and shouldinclude locomotor skills (walking, running, pawing, jumping, hopping, skipping, leaping, galloping, etc.), and non-locomotor skills(bending, twisting, stretching, lifting, turning, balancing, pushing, etc.). Basic rules should be introduced to control performance, e.g.walking like a soldier.

From Primary 4-6 the activities should centre mainly on basic skills leading to specific events in Athletics.

Games

Games provide excellent opportunities for pupils to learn because children enjoy play. Six Games have been included in the syllabusnamely, Football, Volleyball, Netball, Tennis, Table Tennis and Handball. Preliminary activities that prepare the pupil to participate fullyin the Games are to be introduced from P1-3. From P4-6 the activities have been formalized into mini-games and the actual games.Rules should again be taught alongside practical lessons. There is a variety of traditional games that can also be played by children.Schools should teach as many games as possible

iv

Gymnastics and Dance

The type of gymnastics envisaged for P1-3 is informal in nature. The activities must cover the learning of locomotor and non-locomotorskills. Formal Gymnastics activities are to be introduced from P4. The basic activities include forward roll, cartwheel, backward roll andother simple agility and vaulting activities.

Participation in movement activities form the basis for dance and every pupil must be encouraged to practice traditional and socialdances.

PRE-REQUISITE SKILLS

The pre-requisite skills for Physical Education is the natural love for running, jumping, throwing and playing that young people bring tothe classroom. These are the natural skills that the teacher should capitalize on. For successful teaching of the subject, the schoolsshould provide structures and materials that will enable every pupil to take part in Physical Education and Sports activities.ORGANISATION OF THE SYLLABUS

The syllabus has been structured to cover the six years of Primary School. Each year s work consists of a number of sections witheach section comprising a number of activities. The activities can be re-arranged to suit the teacher s scheme of work.

SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHING THE SYLLABUS

Read this section very carefully and ensure that you give enough attention to pupils with special needs.

General Objectives:General Objectives have been listed at the beginning of each section of the syllabus, that is, just below the theme of the section. Thegeneral objectives flow from the general aims listed on page (ii) of this syllabus. The general objectives form the basis for the selectionand organization of the unit topics. Read the general objectives very carefully before you start teaching. After teaching all the units, goback and read the general aims and general objectives again to be sure you have covered both of them adequately in the course ofyour teaching.

xi

Sections and Activities: The syllabus has been planned on the basis of Sections and Activities. Each year s work has been divided intosections. A section consists of a fairly related set of activities.

Each section of the syllabus is structured in five columns: Activities, Specific Objectives, Points to Consider, Suggested Teaching andLearning Activities and Evaluation. A description of the Points to Consider of each column is as follows:

Column 1 Activities: The activities in Column 1 are divisions of the major topics of the section. You are expected to follow the activitytopics according to the linear order in which they have been presented. However, if you find at some point that teaching and learning inyour class will be more effective if you branched to other activities before coming back to the activity in the sequence, you areencouraged to do so.

Column 2 Specific Objectives: Column 2 shows the Specific Objectives for each activity. The specific objectives begin with numberssuch as 1.1.1 or 1.3.1. These numbers are referred to as Syllabus Reference Numbers . The first digit in the syllabus referencenumber refers to the section, the second digit refers to the activity, while the third digit refers to the rank order of the specific objective.For instance, 1.3.1 means Section 1 (of the appropriate year s syllabus), Activity 3 (of Section 1) and Specific Objective 1. In otherwords, 1.3.1 refers to Specific Objective 1 of Activity 3 of section 1. Similarly, the syllabus reference number 2.2.1 simply meansSyllabus Objective Number 1 of Activity 2 of Section 2. Using syllabus reference number provides an easy way for communicationamong teachers and educators. It further provides an easy way for selecting objectives for testing and evaluation. Let s say thatActivity 2 of Section 2 has five specific objectives: 2.2.1 2.2.5. A teacher may base his/her evaluation on objective 2.2.3 and 2.2.4and not use the other three objectives. In this way, a teacher would sample the objectives within activities column and within sectionsto be able to develop an evaluation that accurately reflects the importance of the various skills taught in class.

You will note also that specific objectives have been stated in terms of the pupil i.e. what the pupil will be able to do after instruction andlearning in the activity. Thus specific objective starts with the following, The pupil will be able to . This, in effect, means that you haveto address the learning problems of each individual pupil. It means individualizing your instruction as much as possible so that themajority of pupils will be able to master the objectives of each activity column of the syllabus.

Column 3 Points to Consider: The Points to Consider column presents a selected body of information that you will need to use inteaching the particular activity. In many cases, enough information to guide you in the teaching and learning of the specific objectiveshas been provided. You are nonetheless encouraged to look for other materials to supplement what is provided in the Points toConsider column.

Column 4 Teaching and Learning Activities (T/LA): T/LA that will ensure maximum pupil participation in the lessons is presented inColumn 4. Much of the T/LA emphasizes teaching and learning of psychomotor skills through practical performance. Physical

xii

Education is a competency based subject. This means you have to ensure that each pupil attains competency in each of the activitiesbefore progressing to the next activity. Understanding of rules of Games and Sports should also be taught at the appropriate points.

Column 5 Evaluation: Suggestions and exercises for evaluating the lessons of each activity are indicated in Column 5. Theevaluation exercises in Physical Education are generally recommendations for further practice. Try also to ask questions and set tasksand assignments that will require pupils to apply rules and principles in the performance of Games and Sports.

Lastly, bear in mind that the syllabus cannot be taken as a substitute for lesson plans. It is necessary that you develop a scheme ofwork and lesson plans for teaching activities of this syllabus.

DEFINITION OF PROFILE DIMENSIONS

Profile dimensions describe the underlying behaviours for teaching, learning and assessment. In Physical Education, the emphasis ison practical skills. The action verbs used in most of the specific objectives are therefore verbs like perform, demonstrate, run, etc.Three profile dimensions are specified in Physical Education for teaching, learning and testing at the lower levels and are weighted asfollows:

Knowledge and Understanding 10%Application of Knowledge 10%Practical Skills 80%

Each of the dimensions has been given a percentage weight that should be reflected in teaching, learning and testing. The weightsindicated on the right of the dimensions show the relative emphasis that the teacher should give in the teaching, learning and testingprocesses at the Primary School level. Combining the three dimensions in the teaching and learning process will ensure that PhysicalEducation is taught and studied not only at the psychomotor level, but will also ensure cognitive and affective skills development on thepart of pupils. Note also that knowledge and application are also involved in skill practice.

The explanation and key words involved in each of the profile dimensions are as follows:

Knowledge and Understanding (KU)

knowledge The ability to:remember, recall, identify, define, describe, list, name, match, state principles, facts and concepts. Knowledge issimply the ability to remember or recall material already learned and constitutes the lowest level of learning.

xiii

understanding The ability to:explain, summarize, translate, rewrite, paraphrase, give examples, generalize, estimate or predict consequencesbased upon a trend. Understanding is generally the ability to grasp the meaning of some material that may beverbal, pictorial, or symbolic.

Application of Knowledge (AK)

Ability to use knowledge or apply knowledge, as implied in this syllabus, has a number of learning behaviour levels. These levelsinclude application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. These may be considered and taught separately, paying attention to reflecteach of them equally in your teaching. The dimension Use of Knowledge is a summary dimension for all four learning levels. Detailsof each of the four sub-levels are as follows:

application The ability to:apply rules, methods, principles, theories, etc. to concrete situations that are new and unfamiliar. It also involvesthe ability to produce, solve, operate, plans, demonstrate, discover, reproduce, etc.

analysis The ability to:break down material into its component parts; to differentiate, compare, distinguish, outline, discuss, separate,identify significant points, etc., recognize non-stated assumptions and logical fallacies, recognize inferences fromfacts, etc.

synthesis The ability to:put parts together to form a new whole. It involves the ability to combine, compile, compose, devise, plan, revise,design, organize, create, generate, discuss, etc.

evaluation The ability to:appraise, compare features of different things and make comments or judgement, contrast, critize, justify, support,conclude, make recommendations, etc. Evaluation refers to the ability to judge the worth or value of some materialbased on some criteria.

Practical Skills (PS)

Practical skills refer to the psychomotor domain. This involves the demonstration of manipulative, skills using tools, machines andequipment to carry out practical operations and to solve practical problems. The teaching and assessment of practical skills shouldinvolve projects, case studies and creative practical tasks.

xiv

Skills required for effective practical work are the following:

1. Equipment Handling2. Observation and Imitation3. Manipulation4. Measuring5. Recording6. Communication7. Etiquette and Courtesy8. Judgement9. Effort

Equipment Handling: Pupils should be able to handle and use equipment properly for practical Physical Education and Sportsactivities. The teacher should ensure that pupils acquire a high level of proficiency in the use of tools and equipment in the relevantfield of Physical Education.

Observation and Imitation: The pupil should be able to use his/her senses to make accurate observations of skills and techniques forcarrying out some operations. Observation should go with imitation. The pupil in this case should be able to accurately imitate thetechniques he/she has observed to perform the task and related tasks accurately.

Manipulation: Manipulation involves the skilful handling of objects and tools for accomplishing specific tasks involving the movement ofbody and body parts in space and time.

Measuring: Refers to the accurate use of measuring instruments and equipment. The teacher should guide pupils to make accuratemeasurements where necessary.

Recording: Recordings must aim at a high degree of accuracy. The use of Index Card should be encouraged.

Communication: Pupils should be guided to develop effective oral and non-verbal communicative skills necessary for group work,reports, etc.

Etiquette and Courtesy: Pupils should be able to demonstrate courtesy, fair-play and good sportsmanship both within and outsidePhysical Education lessons.

The action verbs provided under the various profile dimensions should help you to structure your teaching such as to achieve theeffects needed. Select from the action verbs provided for your teaching, in evaluating learning before, during and after the instruction.

xv

Use the action verbs also in your assessment. Check the weights of the profile dimensions to ensure that you have given theappropriate emphasis to each of the dimensions in your teaching and assessment.

FORM OF ASSESSMENT

Physical Education should be assessed on continuous assessment basis rather than on formal examinations basis. Assessmentshould therefore include periodic performance assignments and tasks, together with assessment of understanding and application ofrules, principles etc.

Grading assessment in Physical Education should use simple descriptors of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory as indicated in the charton the next page. Pupils should be encouraged to do self-assessment.*Judgement: Pupils must be encouraged to estimate time, distance, effort, weight, amount, etc.*Effort: Students must be encouraged to try things out, take initiative, and even guess.
