Stage 1 Physical Education A

SACE CREDITS: 10 credits

KEY CONTACT: Adam Langley

RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND:
Successful completion of Year 10 Physical Education is recommended but not required.

COURSE CONTENT:
This course provides opportunity for students to undertake and learn through a range of physical activities. Students explore movement concepts and strategies through these physical activities to promote performance and participation outcomes.

The course has two assessment types as outlined below.

Performance improvement
Students participate in a variety of physical activities focusing on one or more movement concepts or strategies to consider ways to improve performance. The physical activities may include sports (such as Handball and Touch Football) and/or a range of fitness/recreational activities.

Students develop knowledge and understanding of focus area content (e.g. fitness components and energy systems) through participating in physical activity and other integrated activities (e.g. laboratory activities such as fitness testing). They apply this knowledge to critically reflect on their own and/or others performance.

Students explore and analyse evidence of physical activity to reflect on ways in which performance improvement can be achieved. Evidence includes game data, video analysis, fitness data, and/or literature research.

Physical activity investigation
Students participate in one or more physical activities to investigate, analyse or reflect on how personal, social, and cultural factors affect, or are influenced by, participation. Factors investigated will include barriers and enablers to participation.

Students individually or collaboratively collect data from the activities undertaken (for example, manually recording data, using apps, video analysis, and/or self and peer assessment feedback). Students integrate concepts from one or more focus areas to analyse the data and reflect on factors that may hinder or encourage participation in each activity.

ASSESSMENT:
Students provide evidence of their learning through two assessments.

Assessment types
1. Performance improvement
2. Physical activity investigation
