2024 unit information
This unit is a core unit of study and the second of four examining pedagogical practice and content in physical education. Students explore various pedagogical approaches to teaching Games and Sports and Athletics. These PDHPE syllabus and curriculum content areas are also linked to the NESA Priority Areas: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education, Classroom Management, Students with Disability and Teaching students with English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D). Building on Physical Education 1, students further explore models-based practice and physical literacy and move from planning single lessons towards lesson sequences with embedded assessment.
