    The key takeaways are that movement education focuses on creating meaningful lifelong physical activity habits by placing movement at the forefront of learning. It teaches four movement concepts: body, space, effort, and relationships.

    The four movement concepts discussed are body, space, effort, and relationships.

    Research has found links between academic performance and children's movement. Movement education helps students develop social skills, self confidence, fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and emotion control - all fundamental skills.

    Movement Education

    This presentation will address the goals of movement education, my


    approach to incorporating it into HPE teaching, and why I feel it is the
    most beneficial method for teaching effectively.
    I will draw on research and the syllabus to provide a more rounded
    rationale for this teaching approach.

    Using a movement education approach


    Movement education is about creating meaningful lifelong

    physical activity habits that students will use and develop well
    after their HPE learning is completed.
    Movement is placed at the forefront of learning, and is
    incorporated into the foundations of lessons. Students are
    encouraged to express themselves through movement.
    Teaching a thorough understanding of theoretical movement
    concepts enables students to apply background knowledge to
    their movements so as to fine tune their skills and become
    more accomplished.
    There are four movement concepts: body, space, effort, and
    relationships (Abel & Bridges, 2010).

    Why Movement Education?


    Movement education hones problem solving skills

    as students are encouraged to think creatively


    about how to move the most efficiently to achieve a
    goal (Abel & Bridges, 2010).

    Cross Curricular Benefits


    Teaching movement education

    is something that students


    have found to benefit their
    holistic learning. Students have
    been able to apply this
    knowledge to other key
    learning areas such as English
    (Molenda & Bhavnagri, 2009).
    This is because movement
    enables the practice of fine
    motor skills and fundamental
    movement patterns (Abels &
    Bridges, 2010).

    Strengths of movement education


    Many research undertakings have determined that there are links

    between academic performance and the movement of young


    children. It has been discovered that children need to move and
    use bodily movements to consolidate the learning of basic
    concepts (Gehris et. al., 2015).
    They also use movement to build social skills, self confidence,
    fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and to exercise human
    emotion control (Gehris et. al., 2015). These are all fundamental
    skills that all individuals are required to use from young ages. It is
    thus crucial for students to be able to develop these skills.
    Furthermore, the PDHPE syllabus states communication, decisionmaking, interacting, moving, and problem solving as key elements
    to address withing school teaching (NSW BOSTES, 2013).
    According to Gehris (2015), these are what the movement
    education approach aims to work on.

    Continued
    Movement education encourages problem

    solving to be innovative and deeply thought


    out. Using a variety of problem solving skills is
    a syllabus outcome linked to decision making
    and is a required outcome for all stages (NSW
    BOSTES, 2013).
