A basic movement is basic physical education that emphasizes motorskill and spatial awareness. It also involves the implementation of “movement exploration”.
Domain of Physical Education(PE)
- Physical domain
- Social development development domain
- Cognitive domain
“Movement exploration” is actually problem solving approach.
Movement program must be:
- Consists of variety of movements such as jump, run, walk, squat, skip, hop…
- Creative and fun to extend interest, once they have interest, they like to repeat the activity
- Encourage decision making and problem solving
- Emphasize on safety and control
- Appropriate for their level(age, developmental stage), allow children to experience success as much as you can
Semester 3 is coming this Sunday, 26th Oct 2006.
No idea what sort of subject we are going to take. Only will know by then.
Result would be out in 2 weeks time I guess…
That’s all for the time being 
It’s been a long time not updating this blog ;p I’m just so lazy. Besides, second semester ends already. Tomorrow and Sunday will be exam days!
I don’t feel anything at all. So relax! This is so weird. Maybe I’m well prepared already? Hmm… Nevermind about that, done the two papers these two days and I’m off to my almost one week holiday before new semester starts.
No idea when I should go and enroll myself yet. No notice or anything.
