PHED 3670 Final Reflection Planning Commentary My college students were between the ages of 20 and 25. The class had prior knowledge of what occurs in a physical education and some had even played a sport before. Moreover, they had a high maturity level and knew to wear appropriate athletic wear. The prerequisites for this class was balance, coordination, leg strength, physical abilities, and developmental readiness. They were learning to play a variety of sports such as pickle ball, soccer, volleyball, and shot put. My students’ everyday experiences consisted of some form of physical activity being that they were majoring in physical education. All of my students were born in America and spoke English. Majority were either Christians or Catholics, …show more content…
During the cognitive objective, at the end of the lesson the students would verbally tell me the cues from the lesson. During the affective objective, the students would keep themselves and their peers’ safety in mind. These objectives were aligned with the learning tasks to actively engage my students. I monitored my students’ performance by providing positive, negative, individual, class, general, specific, congruent, and incongruent feedback. I extended tasks by increasing or decreasing distance and changing the implement to something smaller, bigger, lighter, or heavier. My demonstration was always whole part whole and presented in front of everyone so they could have decent visual of what the movement should look like. During my demonstrations, I explained common errors and misunderstandings to prevent inaccurate form and passes. In my volleyball lesson, I would put more emphasize on “lifts” of the volleyball to more of a challenge for the students. I would also spend less time on bumping and setting and more time on spiking due to the students being highly skilled. Moreover, I would tell my students to have fun with it and encourage each other on. Likewise, If I was working with another student individually and they noticed someone struggling, I would give them permission to give that student a helping …show more content…
The peer teaches helped my own learning and understanding by teaching my peers. Having the students teach their peers instead of random students made is more comfortable. This class also helped with team-building, communication skills, and supportive relationships. The quizzes and time of the class were difficult. It was sometimes hard to get our energy up because it was so early in the morning. Moreover, the lectures were boring, but I think Dr. Merrem did a great job of trying to keep us engaged by moving around. I was passionate about teaching sports so for that reason I think I was an effective teacher. If I did not enjoy teaching it would be difficult to be effective everyday. I was effective when it came to thinking out of the box. Students learn differently, so I had to develop and utilize different strategies and techniques to influence every student. Moreover, what works for one student may not work for another. Therefore, teachers have to be creative and adaptive with their
Then I went to the main lesson which I did on the white board and I started with simple two step problems and got up to the four step problems with the parentheses so they could see me do it. After I was done, I had each student come up a couple of time to check their understanding of it, to me they seem to get it really well. I sent them home with homework to post assess them on the following Wednesday when I came back, I was surprised when they turned in the homework on how well they
After reading this week’s chapters from our textbook, one interesting topic that was discussed in chapter five was classifying instructional objectives. When a teacher wants to design objectives, it is important that they use three domains and they are the cognitive domain, affective domain, and psychomotor domain. The cognitive domain involves mental operations from the lowest level of the simple recall of information to complex, high-level evaluative process (Carjuzaa & Kellough, 2017, pg. 136). The affective domain involves feelings, attitudes, and values and ranges from the lower levels of acquisition to the highest level of internalization and action (Carjuzaa & Kellough, 2017, pg. 136). Psychomotor domain ranges from the simple manipulation
Each teacher should be able to teach effectively to each student in and efficient manner, but they also must be able to understand everyone. Rose speaks to point when writing “teaching carries with it the obligation to understand the people in one’s charge, to teach subject matter and skills, but also to inquire, to nurture, to have a sense of who a student is” (Rose 216). Teachers being able to sense who each individual student is allows them understand what is the best way to teach this individual within the classroom’s rules. This focus on students within the classroom creates an acceptance for any idea creating balance within society. This allows students be unique and have a great sense for themselves, creating a better place for ideas to
The author is a science teacher and a writer for the Physical and Health Education Journal with many other scholarly articles on the same topic.
The persuasive techniques Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are used to assist the author in their claim and sound convincing. In the articles “Position on Dodgeball in Physical Education,” by The National Association for Sport and Physical Education, and “The Weak Shall Inherit the Gym,” by Rick Reilly, both authors use persuasive techniques to make their claims on dodgeball in physical education. The article, “Position on Dodgeball in Physical Education,” created by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, short for NASPE, focuses on using logos throughout the article. To illustrate, when discussing keeping children and adolescents active it’s stated that, “61.5% of children aged 9-13 years do not participate in any organized physical activity during their non-school hours and 22.6% do not engage in any free-time physical activity”(986).
(Background info) Children often are influenced to spend their early athletic years participating in just one singular sport. Many children are never given an option about their participation in sports, as their parents make that decision for them. (Thesis) America’s Youth have been directly impacted by year round sports as it has created a loss if interest in their favorite sport prior to even reaching
In the first category of This teacher, we agreed on adjusting the lesson if we have trouble, enables us to develop confidence and self-esteem in the subject, and creates a positive atmosphere in which we feel part of a team (Hattie, 2012). In part II, we agree on encourages us to try different techniques to solve problems and helps us to construct language and processes of this subject (Hattie, 2012). The third part we agreed on challenges students to think through and solve the problem either by themselves or together as a group, makes the subject come alive in the classroom, and show us interesting and useful ways of solving problems (Hattie, 2012). And in the last category we agreed on helps us to understand how this subject relates to the real world, helps us to make a link between the different topics and other aspects of our lives, and help us realize that this subject is continuously evolving. As one can see there are many areas that we agree upon from this
Dr. Frank L. Smoll states, “All children and youth need vigorous physical activity as part of their daily lives, and sports provide the benefits of exercise and the potential for acquiring a sense of accomplishment.” (Smoll 1/2).
This, in turn, enables them to adjust their lessons to account for all students in the classroom and self-reflect on their teaching practices for future planning. Given the wide

Throughout the semester, I have gained a better understanding of adapted physical education and sport programs. These programs provide children and adults with an opportunity to participate in sports they may not have thought were possible. The modifications to sport and exercise allows individuals with a range of disabilities to engage in activity. The disabilities can range from a mild learning disability to a permanent condition caused from a serious accident. While observing numerous individuals with disabilities, I was able to obtain a better understanding of the challenges that came with physical activity.
1. Describe the skills or attributes you believe are necessary to be an outstanding teacher. Being an outstanding teacher goes beyond acquiring the competence and knowledge to deliver rigorous academic instruction to a diverse group of students. Outstanding teachers possess a multitude of qualities making them unique and unforgettable to the children they serve. I believe that outstanding teachers are passionate, inspired, creative, compassionate, patient and understanding.
Physical education would start in just about 1820 when schools focused on gymnastics, hygiene training and care and development of the human body. By the year 1950, over 400 institutes had introduced majors in physical education. Colleges were encouraged to focus on intramural sports particularly track, field and football. But now, in the 21st Century schools are starting to rethink if they should have it in their curriculum. In our era right now children are becoming more obese and overweight than ever due to all of the electronic distractions in today 's society.
I participated in several school meetings. After working with students in small groups, I evaluated my mini lesson for student improvement. My students were able to work independently, collaboratively, and utilize feedback from other peers. This taught me to reflect on advantages and disadvantaged of the lessons
The purpose of education is to create the “catalyst”, - the interest, the imagination, the self-confidence, the enthusiasm for further knowledge that helps a person grow beyond what they believe they can be. Education should help develop skills and knowledge, so students can be productive members of society. The more knowledge you have, the more opportunities you have in life. I think back to my childhood and the teachers that made an impact in my life. I want to be that catalyst for students.
