Why is important to study or have a basic
knowledge regarding physical education
Physical education helps students develop
physical skills and confidence. For example,
elementary and middle school curriculum
includes activities that help kids obtain and
improve skills, such as running, catching,
throwing, and striking, applicable to sports
such as baseball, volleyball, or karate.

Measuring the social and educational aspects

of physical education
• Measuring the social and educational
aspects of physical education often
involves assessing factors such as
teamwork skills, communication
abilities, leadership potential, and
understanding of health-related
concepts. This can be done through
observation, self-assessment, peer
evaluations and structured
assessments tailored to specific
learning objectives.
