Description

This unit will engage students in the understanding of the conceptual bases of physical activity, the development of fundamental movement skills and specialised sport skills and how these outcomes can be achieved through different movement experiences. The effective design, implementation and organisation of the program with respect to the developmental needs of children will be studied. Principles of student-centred learning will provide a framework for designing and reflecting on these skills for physical activity outcomes in primary schools. Please note that there will be no external certification awarded for this unit if it is completed in online mode.
