Physical Education and Sport Syllabus
RATIONALE
Movement is essential for daily functioning. Knowledge of what, where and how the body can move is critical for quality human existence. Physical Education, as an integral part of the general education process, contributes to an individual's awareness and understanding of the elements and dimensions of movement and forms the basis for the learning of sport skills. Sport, on the other hand, is viewed as a vehicle for the enhancement of fundamental motor skills and the development of complex skills learnt through a properly structured Physical Education and Sport programme. It is governed by formal or informal rules that involve competition and may be pursued for recreation or reward while promoting healthy lifestyle practices. Sport is recognised as an instrument for the promotion of international peace and understanding and many local, regional and international sporting bodies have embraced shared values through sport.
The study of Physical Education and Sport, therefore, not only allows students to work individually and cooperatively in the theoretical and practical components of the subject but also assists them in developing critical life skills. As a curricular inclusion, it provides students of varying abilities with experiences that facilitate physical, social, intellectual, cultural, spiritual and emotional growth. Skills related to decision-making, problem solving and critical thinking and the use of sport technology are acquired by students undertaking a course of study in Physical Education and Sport.
This syllabus will contribute to the development of the Ideal Caribbean Person as articulated by the CARICOM Heads of Government, who has the capacity to create and take advantage of opportunities to control, improve, maintain and promote physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being and to contribute to the health and welfare of the community and country. Although this syllabus is primarily intended to meet the needs of Caribbean students, by providing opportunities for attaining a working knowledge of Physical Education and Sport and its component parts, it may have relevance and appeal at a more universal level. Acquired skills and knowledge can form the basis for further studies in Physical Education and related fields in health, recreation and sport. The syllabus takes into consideration the multicultural nature of Caribbean peoples and consequently endeavours to respond to a wide range of experiences relating to a healthy lifestyle.
AIMS
The syllabus aims to:
1. develop the knowledge, skills and values for the enhancement of performance in a wide range of movement and sport experiences;
2. promote optimal health and wellness through an understanding of healthy lifestyle practices and regular participation in physical activities;
