Year 12 Physical Education Studies 3AB

Overview

Physical Education Studies contributes to the development of the whole person. It promotes the physical, social and emotional growth of students. Throughout the course emphasis is placed on understanding and improving performance in physical activities. The integration of theory and practice is central to studies in this course.

Physical Education Studies focuses on the complex interrelationships between motor learning and psychological, biomechanical and physiological factors that influence individual and team physical performance. Students engage not only as performers but as leaders, coaches, analysts and planners in, through and about physical activity. Physical activity serves both as a source of content and data and as a medium for learning. Learning in Physical Education Studies cannot be separated from active participation in physical activities and involves students in closely integrated written, oral and physical learning experiences based upon the study of selected physical activities.

Topics

Unit 3A: The focus of this unit is to provide opportunities for students to build upon their acquired physical skills and biomechanical, physiological and psychological understandings to improve their own and other's performance in physical activity.

Unit 3B: The focus of this unit is to extend students' understanding of complex biomechanical, psychological and physiological concepts to evaluate their own and others' performance.

Student expectations

Students will be expected to complete approximately 2.5 hours of homework each week. This time should be spent consolidating material covered in class as well as any assigned tasks.
