About this Unit
In 2009 this unit replaced by 101489 - Personal Development, Health & Physical Education 1 (AREP). This unit examines the current NSW Board of Studies requirements regarding K-6 PDHPE. Through an examination of the syllabus, modules and support documents, students will develop the necessary skills to design an effective scope and sequence for K-6 PDHPE and develop a program of work suitable for a specific stage of learner. Assessment and evaluation will be addressed and the need to develop descriptive student profiles relating to student achievement of outcomes will be highlighted. The unit will provide students with the opportunity to develop teaching skills relating to modified games, dance, gymnastics and fitness as well as Personal Development and Health issues. Furthermore, students will develop skills relating to selecting and utilizing appropriate technology for PDHPE. Through an examination of the eight Strands, the unit further allows students to develop the ability to create links between Strands in PDHPE and with other Key Learning Areas. The notion of a Health Promoting School will be addressed in relation to the need for whole school planning and the place of PDHPE lessons in the school's curriculum. The unit further aims to encourage students to value PDHPE as a lifelong learning experience.
