The way that I am looking at it, the greatest benefit will be for the students.The students will have the opportunity to understand the importance of Physical Education from the educational side and also from a personal life style side.They will realize that Physical Ed is a school course just like any other course taught is their school and they will also understand the pros that Physical Ed will brings to their life.Parents will also benefit from it; they will be more involved with their children school work and the positive thing of this is that both parents and their children can work to together outside of school to create a bonding relationship.Physical Ed has something special that other core classes don’t have, and it’s being able to communicate in a universal language.How many times has a core class teacher send out homework that a student needs to ask for help from a parent and the parent has no clue how to do it.That does not happen in Physical Ed… The Physical Ed coaches will also benefit from this action research; they will have the change to be able to teach a class that has meaning to the students. Some gym classes are like being in the jungle, the kids are screaming and running around for the reason that students don’t understand what Physical Education is all about.It doesn’t matter what the age of the student, if the student doesn’t understand the course or just doesn’t care- it’s just recess to them.And finally it will truly benefit the school/district, this action research will help decrease the number of students that decide not to finish school and no getting a diploma just because they could not pass a Physical Education class.If they are taught properly the importance of PE at the middle school level, they should have no problems with PE at the high school.
I think this is a great subject because physical fitness starts with the parents. If the parents don’t care about getting exercise their children will follow that example. My children and I go for walks and ride our bikes. They see that their dad and I watch what we eat. He are their example and they will mimic our behaviors. If you could get the parent to make physical fitness a priority in their own lives then their children would follow suit.
