Health and Physical Education for Early Childhood

ED2090 - Health and Physical Education for Early Childhood

This subject assists pre-service teachers to develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for planning, teaching, assessing and evaluating learnings in Health and Physical Education in primary contexts, based upon relevant and appropriate national and state curricula. Pre-service teachers will examine the models influencing trends in primary Health and Physical Education (HPE), 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.
