Editor's Notes
- Hi there everyone, and welcome to my Personal Development, Health and Physical Education Presentation. My name is Olivia and I am a second year Charles Sturt University Student. I am currently studying my Bachelor of Education birth to primary years. I am thoroughly enjoying this course, and am excited for my future endeavors as a teacher.
- My fondest memories during primary school was predominantly PDHPE. I remember playing games such as stuck in the mud and poison ball; sports such as netball, volleyball, basketball, tennis, swimming; activities such as dance and gymnastics; and also learning about health and wellbeing through experiences such as Health Harold, dental nurse visits, and learning about physical development and our bodies. Outside of school hours, I played netball every Saturday morning, and also touch football. I would consider my family to be my biggest influence of my activeness as a child, in particular my three older siblings. Things changed during high school as I hit adolescence. I gave up on most physical activity including my weekend netball and touch football, and my view of PDHPE changed dramatically. I believe this was due to my lack of confidence and being compared to my peers, having that feeling that if you weren’t great at beep tests and your BMI wasn’t the same as most of your peers, then your would not be good at physical activity.
- Throughout my adulthood and in particular my time at University I have developed the understanding that most perspective of PDHPE in primary school are similar, that it is an important aspect of education. The NSW Board of Studies Introducing the PDHPE K-6 Syllabus to Parents and Community Members guide states that PDHPE: - encourages an understanding and valuing of oneself and others; - develops an ability in students to make informed decisions in their lives; - promotes lifelong involvement in physical activity. Board of Studies (2001). Introducing the PDHPE K-6 Syllabus to Parents and Community Members . NSW: Sydney (p.5) In contrast, I too believe that there is this idea that PDHPE is not as important as some of the other six key learning areas Mathematics, English HSIE, or Science, which I strongly disagree.
- Over the past few year, particularly after high school, I regained my positive attitude and passion for my health and wellbeing. I became more conscious of being active and health and how it plays a huge role in living a long and happy life. I agree more with the NSW board of studies K-6 PDHPE Syllabus when it emphasises the importance of community awareness about health and wellbeing, that a healthy lifestyle increases the quality of life, and that we should not only be concerned for your own health, but for the health of all now and in the future. I have developed a holistic approach to my health and wellbeing, recognising that living a healthy lifestyle encompasses a number of factors.
- My experiences in health, wellbeing and physical activity has been a bit of a roller coaster ride throughout my years at primary school, high school, and adulthood. My past experience, although they may not have all been positive, have lead me to my current attitude about PDHPE, that it is a very important part of early childhood, primary and high school curriculum. It has also allowed me to understand the importance of PDHPE but also what not to do when teaching it. I don’t want my student to feel like I did during high school, nor do I want them to disregard physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.
- Throughout my number of years of schooling, which includes basically my whole life so far, there have been many teachers that I did not respect or that did not treat me they way I felt I deserved. I remember the teachers that sat at the desk in the front of the classroom; that read of the black board, that made us work from textbooks; that called out form the sidelines of physical activities, the teachers who would walk straight past you in the play ground he teacher who I sat in a classroom with over 25 students, and we were all taught the same and that was simply never involved in my personal education. I wanted to start this section about the PDHPE educator with what I believe an educator should not do, based on my personal experiences. In my opinion these attributes are not the attributes of a good teacher.
- I have a very personal vision on what a PDHPE educator looks, talks, and acts like. An educator needs to dress appropriately at all times, respecting the children, families and their communities as well as their fellow staff members. This includes appropriate clothing and footwear for occasions such as physical activities, sporting events and games, and therefore allowing the teachers to be actively involved in the activities with the children. Similarly, the way the educator to needs to respects the children, families and their communities as well as their fellow staff members with their actions, gestures, manners and expressions. Educators need to remember that they are role models. Most importantly, I believe that educators need to be mindful of all the children in their classroom, respecting their individual needs in the way they conduct lessons and activities.
- A PDHPE educators needs to have background knowledge of each lesson that they teach, understanding the content themselves before they teach it to the children. I also believe it to be important that PDHPE, alike all other educators, need to have skills such as: Compassion Respect Encouragement Leadership Authentic Passionate Imaginative Patient Adaptable Reflective Energetic Positive Reliable Welcoming And most importantly be a learner themselves. In my opinion, I don’t think that there should be a difference between a Mathematics teacher and a PDHPE teacher other than their knowledge of the individual curriculum that they teach.
- As I have expressed earlier, I believe that PDHPE is a very important part of the curriculum in educational settings. Not only does it teach children about physical activities, healthy lifestyles and about their development, but it also teaches them a variety of important lilfe skills. Some of these life skills include: Teamwork Problem solving Relationships Health Wellbeing Communication Nutrition AND Safety. As stated by the board of studies “health encompasses all aspects of an individuals wellbeing, inclusive of social, mental, physical and spiritual health”. PDHPE allows children to develop an understanding of a holistic approach to health and well being. I too believe that the value of PDHPE is understated in some early childhood, primary and secondary school settings.
- I feel reasonably confident in teaching the k-6 NSW PDHPE syllabus. I know that in the future years as I further my study I will develop a greater understanding of the curriculum and the content of PDHPE lessons.
- As a future educator, I also agree with many scholars when they discuss that there are many factors that contribute and that need to be considered when teaching PDHPE. Children face many challenges throughout their lives, and as educators it is our duty to recognise, respect and consider these factors, which include: Religion Gender Age Prenatal Development (Premature birth) Emotional Wellbeing Culture Family Injury Disease Diet AND Obesity Kearns, K (2010). Birth to Big School. Pearson: NSW Berk, L (2005). Infants, Children and Adolescents (5 th Ed.). Pearson Education: USA We need to ensure that we understand the needs of every child in our classroom, and being inclusive of all. When planning and programming for activities, we need to recognise that each child is individual and that they each have various factors contributing to their lives, which may impact on their learning.
- I feel confident in my understandings and my experience, but also in the learning and experience that I will encounter in the future, and that I will make a positive and outgoing PDHPE Educator. My vision of myself as an educator, in particular as a PDHPE educator is positive. I see myself as a role model, and holding many of the attributes discussed earlier in THE PDHPE EDUCATOR section.
- Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoyed my presentation!
