Health and Physical Education for Primary School

ED2190 - Health and Physical Education for Primary School

This subject assists pre-service teachers to develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for planning, teaching, assessing and evaluating learning in Health and Physical Education (HPE) in early childhood, based upon relevant national and state curricula. Pre-service teachers will examine the models influencing trends in HPE in the early years (birth to 8 years), including propositions of educative purpose, strengths-based and socio-critical approaches, health literacy, valuing movement, play-based pedagogy and Indigenous perspectives. They will also be cognisant of the role the HPE curriculum has in the development of personal and social capability in children. Approaches to developing learner-centred, integrated and inclusive curricula are emphasised.
