The importance of
physical education
Physical education develops pupils' physical competence and
confidence, and their ability to use these to perform in a range of
activities. It promotes physical skillfulness, physical development
and a knowledge of the body in action. Physical education provides
opportunities for pupils to be creative, competitive and to face up
to different challenges as individuals and in groups and teams. It
promotes positive attitudes towards active and healthy lifestyles.
Pupils learn how to think in different ways to suit a wide variety
of creative, competitive and challenging activities. They learn how
to plan, perform and evaluate actions, ideas and performances to
improve their quality and effectiveness. Through this process
pupils discover their aptitudes, abilities and preferences, and
make choices about how to get involved in lifelong physical
activity. |
