Observation In Physical Education

893 Words4 Pages

This was my first observation of a high school physical education class. I learned a lot from Mr. Green the high school physical education teacher and assistant baseball coach. This particular class I observed was a lifetime sports class. In this class, there were a variety of students in age, gender, and athletic ability. The unit was over jogging, and since it was raining outside, Mr. Green had them running laps in the gym. The goal of the class was to have them run fifteen laps around the gym. Mr. Green described the exact path he expected the kids to run to complete the lap. He would be keeping tally of how many laps the students complete on a spreadsheet. He then told them to start. Mr. Green’s movement throughout the class was nonexistent. …show more content…

This incident was when one of his students, who you could tell did not enjoy the class, was “hurt.” She was forming a blister on her heals for not wearing proper attire, and he gave her Band-Aid and told her to finish her laps. This interaction was very different than of the ones with his players, which who he was much more lenient towards. Mr. Green’s discipline technique was a variety of different methods. The first was at the beginning of the laps, keeping everyone accountable for their laps and confronting those who were telling him a fake number of laps completed. It was surprising that he did not address one of the students who was being significantly sassy to him in front of the class. He then told me afterwards he does not like to “argue with the difficult students.” I agree that he shouldn’t argue with the students, but he should also let them speak to him in that way. Mr. Green had a limited variety of feedback for his students doing laps. They were all general positive feedback, except at the beginning of the lesson. The first feedback he gave was to one of the students he thought was running the wrong course, and he proceed to review the desired path. After that he gave, “good,” “look at you,” “alright,” “good job”; all of these were very generic praise

One example of Petrie’s experiences with the educational system was when Petrie the stereotype that all athletes were the same in levels of academic opportunity, but he observed and found this to be false.
