- Description
- In the primary school setting, evidence-based physical education (PE) programs can make substantial and distinctive contributions to a child’s development in the physical, affective, social and cognitive domains (IOM (Institute of Medicine) in Educating the student body: Taking physical activity and physical education to school. The National Academics Press, Washington, DC, 2013; Jenkinson and Benson in Aust J Teacher Edu 35(8):1–17, 2010; Morgan and Hansen in J Edu Res 101(2), 99–112, 2007). When PE is well planned, adequately resourced and delivered with confidence there are real opportunities to have students engaged in the learning experience. Of note, links can be made to Mathematics, and ultimately real-world applications of numeracy content and concepts can be experienced. Later in this chapter, a brief rational and potential for integrating mathematics into PE will be discussed. Some of the other key benefits of having students participate in PE programs are detailed below.
