This subject will extend the concepts introduced in Learning Area Physical Education 1, by engaging teacher candidates in an in-depth exploration of post -16 curriculum provisions for Physical Education (including VCE, VCAL and VET). Teacher Candidates will use curriculum documentation including the new VCE study design for PE to develop a range of teaching strategies and assessment materials. These materials will cater for students’ interests and, where possible, be enhanced by the integration of digital technologies.
This subject also seeks to advance teacher candidates’ understanding of the development of the Physical Education curriculum, by raising their awareness of historical and political factors that have influenced the structure of the PE curriculum and its enactment in schools. Teacher Candidates will be expected to critically reflect on literature covering a range of contemporary issues based on the notion of difference in physical education and use these to develop learning experiences that fully support student participation. Through practical application in school and alternative educational settings, Teacher Candidates will be asked to demonstrate how they might use this knowledge to work with students from culturally, linguistic and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds.
