Subject Description
There are three main focus areas of this subject:
- Focus Area 1: In movement
- Focus Area 2: Through movement
- Focus Area 3: About movement
Learning is delivered through an integrated approach in which opportunities are provided for students to undertake, and learn through, a wide range of authentic physical activities. Students
explore movement concepts and strategies through these physical activities to promote performance and participation outcomes. They learn experientially, applying gained knowledge in
concepts including skill acquisition, energy systems, training principles/methods and responses and participation in sport.
Through physical activities, students explore movement concepts and strategies to promote
performance and participation outcomes.
- Through experiential learning, students develop capabilities and skills such as critical and creative thinking, communication and collaboration.
- Students make meaning of the cognitive and psychomotor processes fundamental to the learning of physical activities.
The following assessment types enable students to demonstrate their learning.
Assessment Type 1: Performance Improvement
Assessment Type 2: Physical Activity Investigation
Evidence for each task/investigation should be up to a maximum of 9 minutes for an oral or
multimodal presentation, or up to a maximum of 1500 words.
