CURRICULAR FRAMEWORK

3. The Curricular Philosophy of the K to 12
PE Curriculum
Fitness and movement education content is the core of the K
to 12 PE Curriculum. It includes value, knowledge, skills and
experiences in physical activity participation in order to (1) achieve
and maintain health-related fitness (HRF), as well as (2) optimize
health. In particular, it hopes to instill an understanding of why
is important so that the learner can translate HRF knowledge into
action. Thus, self-management is an important skill.

4. In addition, this curriculum recognizes the view
that fitness and healthy physical activity (PA)
behaviors must take the family and other
environmental settings (e.g. school, community and
larger society) into consideration. This curricular
orientation is a paradigm shift from the previous
sports-dominated PE curriculum aimed at athletic
achievement.

5. Move to learn is the context of physical activity as the
means for learning, while Learn to move embodies the
learning of skills, and techniques and the acquisition of
understanding that are requisites to participation in a
variety of physical activities that include exercise, games,
sports, dance and recreation.

9. The K to 12 PE Curriculum prioritizes the following
standards:
1.Habitual physical activity participation to achieve and
maintain health-enhancing levels of fitness.
2.Competence in movement and motor skills requisite to
various physical activity performances.
3.Valuing physical activities for enjoyment, challenge, social
interaction and career opportunities.
4.Understanding various movement concepts, principles,
strategies and tactics as they apply to the learning of
physical activity.

10. LEARNING APPROACHES
Physical literacy is consists of movement, motor- and activity-
specific skills. In the early grades the learners are taught the
‘what,’ ‘why’ and ‘how’ of the movement. This progresses to an
understanding of the ‘why’ of the movement which is achieved by
developing more mature movement patterns and motor skills in a
wide range and variety of exercise, sports and dance activities to
specifically enhance fitness parameters.

11. The learners builds on these knowledge and skills in order to plan,
set goals and monitor their participation in physical activities
(exercise, sports and dance) and constantly evaluate how well they
have integrated this their personal lifestyle. This implies the provision
of ongoing and developmentally-appropriate activities so that the
learners can practice, create, apply and evaluate the knowledge,
understanding and skills necessary to maintain and enhance their
own as well as others’ fitness and health through participation in
physical activities.

12. The curriculum also allows for an inclusive approach that understands and
respects the diverse range of learners; thus, the program takes into account their
needs, strengths and abilities. This is to ensure that all learners have equivalent
opportunities and choices in Physical Education.
The curriculum emphasizes knowing the ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ of movement.
It focuses on developing the learners’ understanding of how the body responds,
adjusts and adapts to physical activities. This will equip the learner to become
self-regulated and self-directed as a result of knowing what should be done and
actually doing it; is the learners are equally confident in influencing their peers,
family, immediate community, and ultimately, society. These are all valuable 21st
century skills which the K to 12 PE Curriculum aspires for the learners to develop.
