OHTH 2127 THEORY & PRACTICE IN TEACHING PHYSICAL EDUCATION 4ALevel 1 Unit INTRODUCTION:PERCEPTUAL MOTOR PROGRAM:The Perceptual Motor Program (PMP) aims to develop the child’s understandings and perceptions of themselves and their world through movement and motor experiences. (Bullus & Cole, 2007) PMP aims to instil confidence and self belief in a child by focussing on the child as whole rather than emphasising specific skills. Perception of time and space are developed through integrating motor skills and movements in an enjoyable and challenging environment. Activities within a PMP are structured to utilise stations with small numbers of students. This ensures that they are provided with various enjoyable and engaging tasks whilst having adequate opportunity to participate to their full potential. A typical PMP will focus on gross motor, vestibular, visual motor, auditory, tactile, lateralisation, body awareness, and spatial awareness activities. Key Concepts and Skills: This unit plan focuses on three main concepts whilst incorporating many of the other topics;- vestibular activities- gross motor activities- visual motor activities….By focussing on these three concepts, this unit plan aims to develop student’s locomotor skills, balance skills, body control, eye-hand and eye-foot coordination, spatial awareness, listening skills and social interactive skills. Providing activities that allow students to explore these skills allows them to become more confident and self aware, whilst also encouraging the development of a positive attitude towards physical education and physical activity. These opportunities lead to greater perceptual abilities of each student, which is fundamental to the development of the child. The activities detailed within this unit plan range from very basic activities, to activities which provide a greater challenge for those students who require it. Safety should be taken into consideration when running any activity within this unit plan.
