Subject outline

This subject is an extension of Movement Studies 1 (EDU2MS) and provides an opportunity for critical enquiry and analysis from a multidisciplinary perspective. Physical Education (PE) is a complex learning area and this subject reflects the variability and complexity in the Key Learning Area (KLA) as it is represented and experienced in the Australian context. Students examine a variety of different approaches to enhance understanding of the core principles of human movement education based on the disciplines of functional anatomy, biomechanics, motor control, sociology of sport and physical activity and human development of different games and sports. Students develop skills in modifying and progressing learning activities to assist student learning in the PE context. Motor Learning and play analysis techniques are used to further enhance understanding in this area through a combination of theoretical and practical sessions.
