PE Reflection.

1) Firstly, my experience has taught me that a PE tutorial is not just as simple as

playing a game with students. Whilst this can be incorporated, the lesson
must be well planned, fun, and meet learning out comes so that students can
develop new skills and experiences. Much more goes into the management of
a PE lesson than I initially thought.
2) Throughout the semester, the learning activities built up a foundation for
me to use as a future teacher. Key concepts such as warm up activities,
game sense and cooperative learning were displayed to us, whilst also showing
how to manage the class at the same time. How we develop a range of
different students skills was incorporated throughout, so that we are
prepared to teach a PE lesson effectively.
3) I now feel that I have a structured foundation on which I can use while
teaching PDHPE. I am confident that with quality preparation and a solid
use of resources, I can effectively teach a PE class to a range of different
students. My next steps are to develop my knowledge of the skills and
concepts that I need to teach. Also learning a range of different ways to
engage the students through different activities and games will be beneficial.
PDH Reflection.
1) I have learnt that many concepts that I teach in the classroom can have long
lasting effects for students health and wellbeing. The nature of many of the
subjects that are taught in PDHPE can promote healthy lifestyles and safe
living. I have also learnt that there are a large amount of resources available
to me, that I can incorporate into a lesson, or that I can use when a difficult
question may be asked.
2) The learning activities related back to unit content in a way that allowed me
to visualise myself teaching the subject matter myself. The learning outcomes
were often hands on, such as reviewing materials that we can actually use in
the classroom, and discussing their strengths and weaknesses with others.
3) I have discovered that I was not alone with my thoughts on teaching a
subject such as sexuality and the human body, especially with students from
the opposite gender. After this semester, I am much more comfortable with
both the resources that are available to me, as well as how I can go about
teaching the subject matter. My next steps will be to develop my knowledge
of much of the subject matter, whilst also working on my preparation skills to
enable myself to effectively teach a lesson, no matter what the subject is.
