Sport Education in Physical Education
 Sport
Education provides a setting for students to experience all the highs and
lows of sport. Rather than simply teaching students the basic skills of a sport
and how to play it, sport education allows students to learn to coach, referee,
act as duty team, and even judiciary. In sports education students have the opportunity
to experience the full dimension of a sport - not just the playing aspect.
The primary objective of sports education is to help students to become skilled
sports participants and good sports people. This includes having all people:
- develop skill and fitness specific to particular sports
- experience the social and personal values playing a sport can provide
- be full participants at an appropriate level
- share in planning and sports administration
- develop the capacity to make reasoned decision about issues in sport
- understand and value fair play issues
- develop and apply knowledge in relation to skill learning, game tactics and
strategies, umpiring or refereeing, injury prevention and first aid
- decide voluntarily to become actively involved in sport outside school hours
