Teaching Physical Education

1. what is meant by the idea that teaching is a goal-oriented activity?
         I believe this means that when teaching you should have a goal or something to aim for or else all the work wont show in the end. If a teacher does not use goal-oriented activities it is as if the students and teacher are working for nothing. Every teacher should have short term and long term goals for their students. Also the goal should not be "set in stone" meaning they should be adjustable. This will be helpful to the students and teachers. This is why it is important to teach with a goal in mind.

4. Why is the process that teachers choose to use to teach content important?

         A physical education teachers job is to improve the motor performance skills in their students. What students learn in class is what they will use in the "real world". If a child learns to exercise and eat right in class they are more likely to do that as they get older and no one is asking them to do that.

5. Why is the movement task-student response unit of analysis so important in physical education?

        

          First presentation of task Organizational arrangements for task. Then the movement task. which brings the students response to the task. Then the teacher to observation of response to make redesigns to the task.
This is important because, teachers design a movement task then watches for the students responses towards the task. Then the teacher will make adjustments which the students will benefit from. This helps teachers realize the students responses to the take and lets them redesign it for them.
