The first and primary reason for doing a program evaluation is:

What is the difference between a master-oriented student and an ego-oriented student?
Mastery- A person focused on self-referencing in order to improve on a skill or task
Ego- A person who references his or her skill against his or her peers
Define instructionally appropriate strategies.
Instructionally appropriate strategies are experiences that match instruction to the developmental levels of the children being taught in physical education.
What is the role of the teacher in Adventure Based Learning? What types of activities does the teacher engage in during lessons?
In Adventure Based Learning, the teacher acts as the "facilitator" of activities. During lessons, the facilitator provides a brief frontloading of the learning objectives, explains the objectives and rules of the activities, lets the students work through the activities, prompting when necessary, and conducts a student-centered debrief to help foster learning.
Briefly describe the difference between ‘Sport’ and ‘Sport Education.’
In sport, the most skilled dominate in complex, large sided games. The emphasis is on the performance of the athlete. In sport education, everyone plays. The game is developmentally appropriate. Small sided games that are modified for student developmental level can be played. Students are included as referees, coaches, scorekeepers, etc.
What is the relevance of teaching Fitness and Wellness in today’s society?
The rates of physical inactivity among youth and adolescents are high, while indicators of premature death are increasing. Important parameters have been established regarding adequate amounts of physical activity levels necessary to optimize health. However, even under ideal circumstances, PE alone cannot provide enough activity to meet the standards. Positive gains made from PE programs often suffer even during a single summer break. PE must do more to prepare and motivate students to engage in physical activity outside of school, and throughout their lives.
Identify and briefly explain the major difference between a traditional curriculum and a standards-based curriculum.
Traditional curriculum development begins with identifying activities for students. A standards-based curriculum requires those developing the curriculum to look first at what they are trying to accomplish before identifying activities that will help students attain those standards.
Give an argument as to why personal and social responsibility should be taught in schools.
Today’s youth are exposed to an onslaught of less than empowering messages from the media and society as a whole. Teachers have a unique opportunity to create a nurturing and positive educational climate that will support children in becoming more concerned about the rights, feelings, and needs of others. In such an environment, students can become aware of their own behaviors, attitudes, and language; they can experience making a commitment to themselves and others, live by a set of principles, respect differences and resolve conflicts peacefully. Finally, they can learn to take better care of themselves, others, and their environment.
Explain two of the four benefits for the student when the TGFU model is utilized in physical education.
(1) Increased time in game play provides a more enjoyable and motivational experience. (2) Enables students to see the link between the skills they practice and the application of those skills to game situations. (3) Students learn to appreciate the value of skill practice. (4) Learning the tactical components of one game can help students learn another tactically similar game.
Describe the difference between traditional physical education programs and the Cultural Studies approach.
The CS approach allows us to better understand and extend students’ knowledge of, and critical engagement with, popular physical culture. Traditional physical education programs have tended to focus on the development of fundamental skills, sport skills, and tactical development of game play. In recent years there has also been a growing interest in health-related physical activity as a central focus of the physical education curriculum, with a decreasing focus on competitive team sports. Health-related fitness activities have been refined in recent years, with attention to student engagement levels in moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity and a broadening of curricular offerings moving us away from a program dominated by games and teacher interests and expertise. The newer curricular models expand upon these goals for physical education in positive and important ways.
How does the Fitness Education model differ from traditional physical education models pertaining to Fitness?
Traditional models focused on using PE as a “fitness boot camp” where the goal was to get students fit. The focus was on activities and doing fitness. While this model gave students the opportunity to participate, the Fitness Education model provides students with the knowledge needed for healthy decision making. This model focuses heavily on preparing students for a lifetime of physical activity while also providing them with adequate levels of physical activity during PE class. Fitness Education focuses on the knowledge and understanding of physical activity, physical fitness and wellness.
How can a PE teacher be an advocate for physical education?
Teachers can provide open houses for parents and community members, offer youth sports programs to promote physical activity, host fundraisers, use innovative curriculum (sport education), offer fitness programs for students and the community, communicate with families through the use of a calendar, and join professional organizations.
