Philosophy: The greatest substance brought by Physical Education is not competition or

physical fitness alone. Its real and genuine essence lies within the development of social skill,
discipline and ethical behavior.
Physical education in its broadest sense, helps children to gain imperative skills necessary
to have a healthy future. Physical education is highly valuable. It continuously molds children to
have an overall wellness by constantly exposing themselves to different active and engaging
activities. With the underlying inward and outward motivations that Physical Education brings, it
tremendously succors’ students in developing their personal growth and mental well-being.
Consequently, Physical Education should be a fun class, but it doesn’t mean giving students the
emancipation to do whatever they want.

The aim of some teachers is to develop competent students in different physical activities
without taking into account the pressure they put on the students. Instead of doing this, why not
convert it into something beneficial and at the same time students can find fondness of what they
are supposed to do. Good structuring of one’s lesson outline is a massive need that allows
students to have fun in the safest way. Physical education should not be a gray area in molding
students with sense of competition alone. Social skills, discipline and ethical behavior should
also be highlighted while undertaking the course.

As an aspirant of this profession, I always believe that I am one of the few alas that will
help children develop a life-long learning. I believe that touching both extrinsic and intrinsic
motivations of the students will help me in creating students with developed self-esteem,
physically healthy body and with well mental workouts. In addendum, teaching students the
value of sportsmanship, respect and camaraderie will help them realize that the true scale of the
course is not about winning or having all the necessary skills that are adequate for one student to
pass the subject. If we, future Physical education teachers have the igniting will to build
friendship, respects and skills, then we must submit ourselves to standard equilibrium of teaching
the subject. We should develop and create students with well-trained skills in the field, and at the
same time building troops of students with high morale in the field. As per my philosophy, I
believe that teaching my students on the values that music, dance, arts, sports and games bring
are more valuable than teaching them how to be physically healthy.

In order to achieve this, I am amenably willing to craft an atmosphere where students do

not solely rely on theoretical concepts, but know how to apply it in real life situation. I don’t
want my students settle for mediocrity. I want them to explore and go beyond their limits. If
there’s a need to provide activities that will help them enrich, uproot, and freely express the
hidden aptitudes that lie within them, then I am honor to maximize their potentials.

My teaching philosophy in education is freely giving them the opportunity to learn and
unravel things on their own, but guiding them towards achieving the pivotal goal of the subject.
And if you would ask me, what weighs better, values or skills? I will choose what’s in the
middle. Both life-long learnings are substantial in developing a holistic student. Skill is not
useless without values. Values remain futile without skills. As a future physical education
pedagogue, I have to master these two important characteristics of my subject if I wish to
develop students with inclined skills and high moral standing.
