9. RESULTS OF THE NEW PE/TECHNOLOGY SURVEY (Used Survey Gizmo as the survey platform) Wanted to supplement the NASPE tech survey

10. Introduction to the New PE-Results of the Mini Survey Note that this is a follow up to the NASPE PE Trends in our Nations’ Schools: A Survey of Practicing K-12 Physical Education Teachers (available as a pdf on the NASPE website) Wanted to follow up and collect more data on the New PE and technology SurveyGizmo platform N=94

11. I am "Tech savy" and use the latest technology with my classes. 23.5% I am comfortable with some technology 67.6% I am not familiar with technology 8.8%

12. I am a Physical Educator Teacher at: Elementary level (k-5)-47.1% Middle level (6-8)-29.4% Secondary (9-12)-23.5% I am certified to teach PE & Health Education: 82.4%-Yes and 17.6%-No

13. In your own words, define the New PE http://www.wordle.net/

14. Other Background Data From the Survey: • 58.8% also teach some Adapted PE • 23.5% have been teaching more than 15 years • 55.5% teaching in public schools • 9 states represented • 67.6% are “comfortable with technology” • 52.9% reported that the district supported your technology needs

20. Historical Overview: What is Physical Education? Definitions Through the Years 1988 (Kirchner) “The primary purpose of physical education is to help each child develop to his or her full potential.” Also defined PE as a program that enhances physical growth and development’ develops and maintains maximum physical fitness, useful physical skills, social skills, wholesome recreational skills, intellectual competencies, and creative talents; and enhances a child’s self esteem. Note-focus still on physical domain this definition begins to address the need to plan and teach to the physical and social side of PE

21. Segway--- From what you know and practice about the New PE to the theory of Old/New PE

22. Historical Overview: What is Physical Education? Definitions Through the Years • Changing times influences definitions of PE • 1958 (Scott & Westkaemper) “planned instructional experiences in the fundamental skills, games, sports, dancing gymnastics and aquatics.” • 1963 (Miller & Whitcomb) “…..teaching to the physical objectives of • Physical fitness, growth and development, and physical skills……. • Children’s intellectual growth has probably been overlooked and ignored in favor of the physical…” • 1970’s Arnheim & Pestolesi presented an elementary hierarchy objectives chart. Physical skills at the top.

23. Pangrazi (2006) and Graham, Holt/Hale and Parker (2009) provide PE definitions that include all three domains-psycho-motor, affective, and cognitive (Used to teach students to remember this by CAP). Definitions started addressing: • the need to teach to all children and not just the skilled students and elite athletes • How to be active outside of PE class Physical activity- is a behavior and PE is the program that teaches our children how to achieve these behaviors (Sullivan, 2011)

24. New definitions evolving…. 1997 (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion) “PE programs help students develop the knowledge, attitudes, motor skills, behavioral skills, and confidence needed to adopt and maintain physically active lifestyles.” Note-first part of definition attends to the physical but the affective domain is included. Shows progression of more than just the physical.

26. Best and newest definition of Physical education Moving into the Future: National Standards for Physical Education, 2nd Edition (2004) Physical activity is critical to the development and maintenance of good health. The goal of physical education is to develop physically educated individuals who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. A physically educated person: Standard 1: Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities. Standard 2: Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities. Standard 3: Participates regularly in physical activity. Standard 4: Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. Standard 5: Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings. Standard 6: Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction. http://www.aahperd.org/naspe/standards/nationalStandards/PEstandards.cfm

27. Quality Physical Education (QPE) NASPE believes that every student in our nation's schools, from PK-12, should have the opportunity to participate in quality physical education. The Four Components of a High-quality Physical Education Program 1. Opportunity to Learn 2. Meaningful Content 3. Appropriate Instruction 4. Student and Program Assessment Why is Quality Physical Education Important? Quality physical education programs help all students develop: -health-related fitness, -physical competence, -cognitive understanding, -positive attitudes about physical activity so that they can adopt healthy and physically active lifestyles. Learning Experiences that Meet Developmental Needs. Quality physical education programs provide learning experiences that improve mental alertness, academic performance, and readiness and enthusiasm for learning in our nations' youth. http://www.aahperd.org/naspe/publications/teachingTools/QualityPE.cfm

28. Traditional/OLD PE • Ask family and friends (more than 20-30 years old) for stories • Sister, Kathy, “I hated every minute of gym class. Why did we have to play field hockey? When was I every going to play field hockey?” • Physical fitness and teaching sport skills primary goal • Elimination tag games, team sports, sport drills, team captains • Scores and results were recorded and data used for grading • No surprise many detested physical activity and PE as students being taught skills they could not use outside of class • “It shouldn’t matter how quickly you dribble a soccer ball around cones for a skill test, but rather it should matter that you know how to control the soccer ball to be able to dodge an opponent or pass to a teammate when you play a recreational game. (Sullivan, 2011) • Unofficial survey with college students-elementary PE experiences were fairly positive but middle school/secondary PE negative in past

29. The 13 Traditional PE Components(Sullivan & Clapham 2009) • Class called gym • Teacher directed lessons • Long lines and squads for exercises • Structured classes • Intimidating procedures • Competition stressed • Skills taught but games usually played at end of units • Fitness often presented as a separate unit and not integrated into the other units • Students often do not have fun as they practice skills • Students do not know how hard they are working or their level of physical activity • Grades often based on skill level • Lack of standard based curriculum development and assessment • No technology (perhaps a stopwatch)

31. Moving onto ….The New Physical Education • Purpose affected by popular culture, as indicated in the changing definitions • Review-health hygiene stressed early 20th century, then social recreational goals, fitness tests developed during war years, 1950’s total fitness, 1970’s social justice issues, then looked to individual and needs. • Past 10 years-wellness concepts, obesity and fitness crisis • Shift from Traditional/Old PE to New PE

32. The New Physical Education • Many, including, John Ratey (2008) (Spark:The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain) credit Phil Lawler as pioneer for New PE in early 1990’s • physicalsparkinglife.org/page/the-new-physical-education • Lawler revised PE content and teaching to focus on participation, cardiovascular activities, and effort. Students were asked to challenge themselves and better their weekly one mile run. • True example of authentic assessment • Set the foundation for the NEW PE • http://www.pe4life.org/about-us/

33. The New Physical Education • Neil William’s “Physical Education Hall of Shame” article in 1994 helped provide the impetus to begin calling physical education the New PE in the late 1990’s • First article in 1992 had seven games in Hall of Shame then six more in the 1994 article • Games: Dodgeball, Duck-Duck-Goose, Giants/Wizards/Elves, Kickball, Musical chairs, relay races, steal the bacon, line soccer, red rover, simon says, Messy backyard, SPUD, tag

34. The New Physical Education • Limited scholarly research on New PE • Clapham/Sullivan writings • Now can find lots of “press” articles and information about quality, fun, New PE programs, classes, teachers • Current scientific data on connection of physical activity and academic performance • Brain research and John Ratey’s work • Need more research on the documentation of the value of pe and it’s linkage to academics

35. The New Physical Education • New PE definition-using NASPE’s work Physical Education is critical to Educating the Whole Child (Position Statement) “This position statement provides an overview on the "whole child initiative" based on the premise that 21st-century demands require a new and better way of approaching education policy and practice: a whole-child approach to learning, teaching and community engagement.”

36. The 13 New PE Components(Sullivan & Clapham 2009) • Class is called Physical Education as we educate the physical (and more than the physical too) • Everyone active, all inclusive, small groups • No humiliation and intimidation • Cooperative focus with enjoyment • Fitness is blended (Sullivan, 2003) with other PE content • Motivational devices are used to personalize and monitor physical activity • Enjoyment levels are raised • Individuals work at own physical level and challenge themselves by stetting personal goals • Wellness or health related focus • Each child has their own piece of equipment (most of time or all active in some way) • Each child is working towards their own personal fitness goals throughout the lesson • Standards based curriculum and assessment; more authentic assessment • Technology supports the pedagogy (pedometers, heart rate monitors, computers, PDA’s, smart boards, tablets, gaming devices…)
