Curriculum/Instructional Models

• Movement Education (also called movement exploration or inquiry teaching)

–1st of two constructivist styles

What is constructivist teaching

??

Page 3: Curriculum/Instructional Models Movement Education (also called movement exploration or inquiry teaching) –1 st of two constructivist styles.

Answer:

Students build or construct new understandings instead of being told. This promotes critical thinking, enjoyment, and long-term retention.

Content – What You Teach

• Movement education, which originated in the 1970’s, was the first distinct new style to develop in PE after the traditional command-oriented multi-activity approach.

• It was originally based on the movement education wheel which has been modified over the years.

– See wheel on next slide

Content – What You Teach

• Movement ed concepts– Unlike middle and high school which is

generally organized into activity related units (badminton, personal defense, etc), movement education is organized around themes and concepts

– These themes and concepts form the basis for instruction typically using the guided discovery model.

Organization of the Movement Education Concepts

1. Spiral Curriculum - Continually revisit movement ed concepts at more advanced levels throughout the year and from grade to grade.

2. Traditional Units• Example locomotor skills unit

Basics of a Mvnt Ed LessonWhat differentiates a movement ed lesson from

traditional lessons:1. Students are led to answers through series of teacher

questions and activities.– For example, the goal of the lesson is to teach controlled soccer passing using

ones instep b/c it is most accurate. In a traditional teacher centered approach, the teacher who demonstrate the technique and conduct drills such as having students pass back and forth between two lines. In a movement ed approach, students would first explore different ways to pass (toe, instep, knee, head, heel, etc) while the teacher rewards creativity. Next, the teacher could refine the task by having students try to knock down a pin using a soccer pass with partners. The students are allowed to use the various body parts suggested by their peers to knock the pin down. Afterwards, the teacher fields suggestions for which body part is most accurate. The choices are refined until the correct answer is usually stated, in this case, the instep. The teacher could explore why the instep is best. Afterwards, a fun activity reinforces the lesson focus for that

day.

Basics of a Mvnt Ed LessonWhat differentiates a movement ed lesson

from traditional lessons:2. Stresses creativity

• Students are continually verbally reinforced for offering suggestions to movement problems, especially creative ones.

3. Students are generally all active together.• This reduces “look at him/her” syndrome where

students may feel uncomfortable.

Page 10: Curriculum/Instructional Models Movement Education (also called movement exploration or inquiry teaching) –1 st of two constructivist styles.

Basics of a Mvnt Ed LessonQuestioning Students:1. Level of questioning – match difficulty to intended

level of student learning.• Can do questioning to frame topic, during engagement,

and for review. 2. Types & level of questioning – VERY important 3. Wait time – Give students time to formulate answers

on their own, at least 5-8 seconds.4. Probes

• Have students rephrase or clarify answer (“I didn’t understand that, can you say it a different way?”)

• Ask for new information (“That was close, can you give me some more info?”)

• Provide hints or clues (“Think about the level Jeremy used and how that affected his control.”)

Advantages for Students-Improves the following:

• Positive self image & confidence – slanted rope

• Critical thinking• Movement vocabulary• Creativity• Self-responsibility• Enjoyment of class• Social interaction• OK to arrive at answers in different ways or have

multiple answers• Students articulate, defend, refine, and adjust

their own strategies to solve problems.

Page 12: Curriculum/Instructional Models Movement Education (also called movement exploration or inquiry teaching) –1 st of two constructivist styles.

Advantages for Teachers

• Get “inside” a child’s head• Adjust teaching based on responses• More interaction with students• Non-competitive or low competitive level• Higher activity time• Promotes leadership and success• Higher interscholastic participation rates

Movement Ed & Teaching Styles

Which method is movement exploration taught through?

Reproductive Styles – Students reproduce teacher understandings

1. COMMAND - Teacher makes all decisions, like “follow the leader” 2. PRACTICE (includes stations) - Students carry out teacher-prescribed tasks as

modeled while receiving teacher feedback3. RECIPROCAL - Students work in pairs: one performs, the other provides feedback

(may utilize criteria sheet)4. SELF-CHECK - Students assess their own performance against criteria sheet prepared

by teacher5. SELF-SELECTION - Students are provided with legitimate options for skill practice

that have a range of difficulty (low to high)

Productive Styles – Students create understandings6. GUIDED DISCOVERY - Students answer questions in a series that lead to discovery

of a concept (typically movement related) 7. PROBLEM SOLVING (includes synthesis) - Students solve problems or create

programs with assistance from the teacher, multiple solutions (divergent)8. INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM- Students develop a program based on physical and

cognitive abilities.

Sequence of a Typical Lesson

1. Warm-up – energizer, brief game, line to line• Suggested to review concept taught previous lesson• Do not have students run and then stretch. It is

inappropriate for this level, gross motor activities are best

• Convey importance of a warm-up, not overly strenuous

2. Lesson focus – Introduce new movement ed concept

• May need to review previous learning briefly.• Taught through guided discovery approach

3. Lesson focus 2 – optional (depending on lesson & time)

4. Fun activity to reinforce day’s concept

General Suggestions• Use music to start/stop activity

– Preferably music without breaks

• Lead students to solutions, don’t give answers– Frame questions in a manner whereby students

can be successful at their own level.

• Maximize activity time• Stress the affective domain, personal

growth, and creativity• Catch students being good

Examples

K – Self Space

1st – Force*

1st – Range

2nd – Pathways

3rd – Rhythm

Assessments

• Checks for understanding• Traditional written tests

(age appropriate)• Checklists

Page 18: Curriculum/Instructional Models Movement Education (also called movement exploration or inquiry teaching) –1 st of two constructivist styles.

Develop your own inquiry lesson.

• Remember, the whole idea is “Ask, don’t tell.”

• If most elementary students don’t love PE, something is gravely wrong with the instruction.
