Physical Education Flashcards
John Dewey (1890)
Expanded the education system based on 3 r’s to include physical education in America.
Thomas Wood (1893)
“The great thought of physical education is not the education of the pbysical nature, but the relation of physical training to complete education, and then the effort to make the physical contribute its full share to the life of the individual”
Charles McCloy
Physical education’s primary objective was and is the development of skills as well as the maintenance of the body. The testing of mototr skills was siginificant aspect by McCloy.
Presidents Council on Physical Fitness (1953)
noted through Kraus-Weber study that American kids were far less fit then European kids during WW2.
Important educational philosophies related to physical education
Idealism, Realism, Pragmatism, Naturalism, Existentialism, Humanism and Eclecticism
Idealism
The mind, developed through the acquisition of knowledge, is of highest importance. Values exist independently of individuals. Fitness and strength activities contribute to the development of ones personality. Horace Mann, Wadsworth, Kant, Plato, and Descartes were idealist.
Realism
The physical world is real. A realist believes in the law of nature, the scientific method, and mind and body hatmony. Religion and philosphy co-exist. Physical fitness results in greater productivity, physical drills are important to the learning process, athletic programs lead to desired social behavior, and play and recreation help life adjustment. Aristole was a realist.
Pragmatism
Experience is the key to life. Dynamic experience shapes individuals truth. Education is child centered. Consequently, Physical Education takes the form of creating physical activities and sports for children to experience and thus discover.
Naturalism
This philosophy is materialistic. Things that actually exist are found only within the physical realm of nature. Nature is valuable. The individual is more important than society Self-activities accomplish learning and activities are more than physical in nature. Naturalist promote play and discourage high levels of competition. Physical education takes a holistic approach.
Existentialism
The chief concern is individualism. Existentialists do not want the individual to conform to society. They promote freedom of choice and a variety of interests. Individuals need to have their own system of values. Playing develops creativity and the discovery of the inner self. Santre, Soren and Kierkegaard were Existentialists.
Humanism and Eclecticism
These are the modern philosophies of physical educatuon followed by most schools today. The Humanistic philosophy is based on the development of individual talents and total fulfillment that encourages involvement and participation in ones environment . Humanists encourage self actualization and self fulfillment. Curriculums based on the Humanistic approach are student centered. The Eclectic approach combines beliefs from different philosophies. When different philosophies are blended skillfully, the Eclectic appraoch affords a sound philosophy for developing individuals.
