Physical education teacher candidates know and apply discipline-specific scientific and theoretical concepts critical to the development of physically educated individuals.
Element 1.1: Describe and apply physiological and biomechanical concepts related to skillful movement, physical activity and fitness.
Artifact : EXS 397 Exercise Program
Date: Spring 2011
Reflection:
My exercise program was created in my exercise physiology lab. This artifact meets standard 1, to describe and apply physiological and biomechanical concepts related to skillful movement, physical activity and fitness, because we needed to make up a workout plan based on our personal attributes and what we wanted to improve on. The workout plan is to help myself increase my upper body size and strength. The exercise program also broke down how many calories that I needed to intake per day and what I needed to increase carbohydrates protein and fat wise. With being able to make a workout plan based on personal attributes and physical capability. I can use this information to pass on to my students to help them increase their personal fitness levels with a workout plan and a diet that works for them.
Artifact : PED 201 Motor Development - Lab 3
Date: Fall 2010
Reflection:
Motor development lab 3 was used to observe the motor skills of students at St. Mary’s Elementary school. This artifact meets standard 1, to describe and apply motor development theory and principles, because I was asked to observe and then describe the motor skills of a young boy and girl while they executed a Leap horizontal jump, and slide. The results of their performance allowed me to recognize and critique their capabilities of those skills and then apply the principles to determine where the students were at for skill development.
With being able to breakdown, demonstrate and critique the parts of each skill movement, gives me the tools to help students improve. This also allows me to give more specific congruent feedback to students in the future.
