UPDATED QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
, Question 1 You have applied for a physical educator position at a school, and
you have been invited to be interviewed for the position. In the interview, you
are asked to talk about what your high-level objectives of developing a
physical education programme are. In your own words, write down how you
would answer this question.
As a physical educator, my high-level objectives in developing a physical education program are
centered around fostering holistic development, promoting lifelong health and wellness, and
creating a positive and inclusive learning environment for students. Firstly, I aim to provide
comprehensive physical education that caters to the diverse needs and abilities of all students,
ensuring that each individual feels valued and supported in their physical journey. Secondly, I
believe in instilling a love for physical activity and a healthy lifestyle by offering a variety of
engaging and enjoyable activities that promote fitness, motor skills, and overall well-being. This
includes exposing students to various sports, games, and recreational activities, and teaching
them the importance of regular exercise and its positive impact on mental and physical health.
Thirdly, I emphasize the development of critical life skills such as teamwork, communication,
leadership, and resilience through physical education, enabling students to transfer these skills
to other aspects of their lives. Finally, I strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where
students feel empowered to take risks, explore their capabilities, and build self-confidence, while
also fostering respect, empathy, and sportsmanship among peers.
2. You are a physical educator at a poor rural school with limited resources.
After reading 2.3 (page 9–10, focus on points 1–7) in your study guide, write
down seven (7) sentences in your own words that would highlight likely
challenges to teaching physical education at the school that you teach at.
Teaching physical education at a poor rural school with limited resources can present several
challenges. Firstly, inadequate funding may restrict access to essential equipment and facilities,
limiting the variety of activities that can be offered and hindering the development of skills and
techniques. Secondly, a lack of space and infrastructure may impede the implementation of
certain sports or physical activities, making it difficult to provide a well-rounded physical
education experience. Thirdly, the absence of trained personnel or a shortage of qualified
physical education teachers may limit the quality and effectiveness of instruction, as well as the
ability to provide individualized attention to students. Fourthly, transportation issues in rural
areas may pose challenges in organizing field trips, sports events, or external opportunities for
students to engage in physical activities outside of the school premises. Additionally, limited
community resources and partnerships may restrict access to extracurricular sports programs or
opportunities for students to participate in competitive events. Furthermore, socioeconomic
factors may impact students' access to proper nutrition and healthcare, potentially affecting
their overall health and physical performance. Lastly, addressing the diverse needs and abilities
of students in a resource-constrained environment may require creative teaching strategies and
adaptive approaches to ensure inclusivity and effective learning outcomes.
