Unit of study_

EDHP1001: Physical Education 1

Semester 1, 2020 [Normal day] - Camperdown/Darlington, Sydney

A developmental PE approach (Gallahue and Ozmun, 2006) will be taken in delivering this unit which takes into account the psychomotor, cognitive and affective domains as students learn about, in and through physical activity. Fundamental movement skills will be developed and rehearsed in practical workshops allowing pre-service teachers to acquire a level of mastery and to transfer the learning theory into practice in a supportive environment through both peer and lecturer feedback. This unit of study is the first of four examining pedagogical practice and content in physical education. The four units move pre-service teachers along a spectrum of styles for teaching physical education, ranging from direct to indirect styles. This unit specifically focuses on the K-10 PDHPE framework and curriculum areas of minor and lead-up games; fundamental movement skills; dance and gymnastics. In addition, there is a 10 day professional experience secondary school placement embedded in this unit of study.

Assessment policies

All activities and assessments in this unit of study occur in conformity with the policies of the Sydney School of Education and Social Work in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences as outlined in the Faculty and School canvas sites. Please refer to these sites for matters such as:

• Marking and Grading

• Questioning a Mark

• Submitting an Assignment

• Exams

• Seeking an Extension

• Penalties for Late Submission of Work

• Word Limit Penalties

• Plagiarism and Academic Integrity

• Use of Similarity Detection Software

• Seeking Special Consideration

• Seeking a Leave of Absence

• Student Appeals Process

All students enrolled in this Unit of Study are expected, without exception, to familiarise themselves with these policies. They are available at the following canvas site: https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/13426

The University has adopted severe but fair procedures for dealing with plagiarism. It is imperative that students understand what constitutes plagiarism. The threat of being accused of plagiarism is generally relieved by expert referencing of your assignments. If you are unsure on how to reference well, please refer to the following Canvas site: https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/13426

Unless otherwise stated in the unit of study outline, word-limit penalties may be applied.

Unless otherwise advised by the course or unit of study coordinator/outline, the Sydney School of Education and Social Work requires the style guide of the American Psychological Association (APA) to be used for citation and referencing purposes. The library’s Complete Guide to APA 6th style is a comprehensive, self-contained document that should be consulted. Incorrect use of the required style, or the use of another style unless specifically allowed, is likely to result in diminished assessment grades.

 

 

For more information see guide to grades.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

  • Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
  • After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

This unit has an exception to the standard University policy or supplementary information has been provided by the unit coordinator. This information is displayed below:

It is expected that unless an application for special consideration or simple extension has been approved, students will submit all assessment for a unit of study on the due date specified. If the assessment is completed or submitted within the period of extension, no academic penalty will be applied to that piece of assessment. If an extension is either not sought, not granted or is granted but work is submitted after the extended due date, the late submission of assessment will result in an academic penalty as follows: For work submitted after the deadline up to 1 day late, a penalty of 5 per cent of the maximum mark awardable for the assignment will apply, and for each day late thereafter, penalty increases by 5 per cent per day. Work submitted more than six days after the deadline will not be assessed (fail).

Academic integrity

The Current Student website  provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.  

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

You may only use artificial intelligence and writing assistance tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator, and if you do use them, you must also acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section.

Studiosity is permitted for postgraduate units unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission.

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

This section outlines changes made to this unit following staff and student reviews.

No changes have been made since this unit was last offered.

Expectations for written submissions:

All students need to be fully aware of the expectations of literacy and numeracy of work presented for assessment. The HPE program takes very seriously the requirement of students to produce work that is both high quality in terms of content and presentation. This refers to the production of written work that is academically at the undergraduate standard, i.e. correctuse of punctuation, grammar, spelling, use of tenses, use of pronouns and referencing. All work in this unit is guided by this principle. Failure to meet minimum standards of work will result in failure of that assessment. Students should refer to the University's WriteSite if they are concerned: http://writesite.elearn.usyd.edu.au/

 

More information related to this unit will be provided via CANVAS.
