    WHAT IS MOVEMENT EDUCATION?


    This year in KM we will be undertaking a Movement Education approach to
    teaching PE.
    Movement education aims to develop a wide base of skills that students can
    utilize in all aspects of their lives. Movement education focuses on
    developing motor success, as well as providing students with cognitive
    knowledge ability movement (Abels, 2010).
    Movement education teaches movement through the use of fundamental
    movement skills.

    WHAT IS MOVEMENT EDUCATION?


    Fundamental movement skills provide students with the building blocks
    needed to engage in a wide range of games, sports and physical activities
    (NSW Department of Education and Training, 2000).
    Gallahue and Ozmun (2006) have suggested that teaching movement
    skills to primary aged children is most beneficial in achieving lifelong
    habits as they are at an optimal age to learn and develop motor skills. In
    correlation, the NSW syllabus has integrated movement education into
    their content which is evident in MOES1.4-Demonstrates a general
    awareness of how basic movement skills apply in play and other
    introductory movement experiences. (Board of Studies, 2007)

    WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL


    MOVEMENT SKILLS?
    There are twelve fundamental movement skills that make the foundation
    of movement education. Although these sometimes differ, below is a list
    of the movements we will be focusing on:

    Static balance
    Hop

    Catch
    Sprint run
    Leap

    Two hand strike

    Vertical jump
    Skip
    Kick
    Side gallop
    Overarm throw
    Dodge

    WHY TEACH MOVEMENT EDUCATION?


    Movement Education provides students with a foundation to live active and healthy
    lifestyles. The learning of fundamental movement skills not only contributes to a
    child's physical education, but also aids in cognitive and social development
    (Lubans, Morgan, Cliff, Barnett and Okely, 2010).
    As previously noted, movement education aims to teach students gross motor skills.
    Lubans et. al. note that students with high levels of motor skills are more likely to
    have higher levels of fitness and competency in sports, thus making them more
    likely to engage in physical activity.
    Without the knowledge of movement skills including, kicking, throwing and catching,
    children are less likely to experiment with sports and thus less likely to establish and
    maintain active lifestyles (NSW Department of Education and Training, 2000).

    HOW DO WE TEACH MOVEMENT


    EDUCATION?
    In order to effectively teach motor skills and develop a lifelong commitment to
    physical health and education, KM will be incorporating a Game Sense
    approach to teaching.
    The Game Sense model is a student based model that uses games as the
    main focus of the lesson. Through the use of games, students are presented
    with real life experiences in which they can learn from and discover new
    abilities. By focusing on the game instead of specific skills, students are
    encouraged to become more tactically aware, make better decisions during
    the game, think strategically about game concepts and develop fundamental
    movement skills (Towns, 2002).
