QUESTION 1: CASE STUDY – RURAL SCHOOL CONTEXT

a. Introducing the Value and Purpose of PE

As a newly appointed PE teacher in a rural school with limited resources, I would
introduce the value of Physical Education (PE) through an interactive awareness
session with learners and staff. I would explain that PE is not just about playing sport but
is vital for holistic development—physical, social, emotional, and cognitive.

I would highlight that PE helps learners:

 Develop motor skills and physical fitness

 Learn cooperative behaviour, teamwork, and respect

 Improve mental well-being and reduce stress through movement and play

 Build self-esteem and a positive body image through successful participation
(Study Unit 1)

For staff, I would present PE as a complement to classroom learning, enhancing
concentration, discipline, and classroom behaviour. I would use demonstrations,
short videos, and learner testimonies to make the case compelling.



b. Outline for First Term PE Programme

Given the constraints (limited space/equipment and no prior exposure), I would
create a low-resource, inclusive, movement-based programme focusing on basic
motor skills and enjoyment:

Week Activity Focus Objective

Week Introduction to PE, rules, warm-up Understand the purpose of PE,
1 games establish routines

Week Body awareness (stretching, Learn how the body moves (Study
2 balance, body shapes) Unit 1.5)

Week Locomotor skills (running, skipping, Develop coordination and
3 hopping) cardiovascular endurance
