ESHE 307 - Theory and Practice of Movement Concepts and Skill Themes

Credits: (3)

Instructional Method: Three hours lecture.
Designed to enable teacher candidates to plan, organize, and conduct physical education instruction for elementary and middle school students ages 4-15. Course content includes an emphasis on skill themes (movements that can be performed) and movement concepts (how a skill is to be performed) to introduce the movement vocabulary and the basic skills of age-appropriate physical education instruction to teacher candidates. Course content will also include opportunities for students to experience instruction in instant activities, low-organized games, educational gymnast ics and cooperative activities. Much of the information in this course will compliment material that will be presented in ESHE 380: Methods of Teaching Elementary Physical Education.
