CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION


The Curricular Philosophy of the K to 12 PE Curriculum
Fitness and movement education content is the core of the K to 12 PE Curriculum. It includes
value, knowledge, skills and experiences in physical activity participation in order to (1) achieve
and maintain health-related fitness (HRF), as well as (2) optimize health. In particular, it hopes
to instill an understanding of why HRF is important so that the learner can translate HRF
knowledge into action. Thus, self-management is an important skill. In addition, this curriculum
recognizes the view that fitness and healthy physical activity (PA) behaviors must take the
family and other environmental settings (e.g. school, community and larger society) into
consideration. This curricular orientation is a paradigm shift from the previous sports-
dominated PE curriculum aimed at athletic achievement.
Move to learn is the context of physical activity as the means for learning, while Learn to move
embodies the learning of skills, and techniques and the acquisition of understanding that are
requisites to participation in a variety of physical activities that include exercise, games, sports,
dance and recreation.
Learning Strands
The program has five learning strands:
1. Body management which includes body awareness, space awareness, qualities and
relationships of movements and how these are used dynamically in various physical activities.
2. Movement skills related to the fundamental movement patterns and motor skills that form
the basis of all physical activities.
3. Games and sports consisting of simple, lead-up and indigenous games; as well as individual,
dual and team sports in competitive and recreational settings.
4. Rhythms and dances include rhythmical movement patterns; the promotion and appreciation
of Philippine folk dance, indigenous and traditional dances as well as other dance forms.
5. Physical fitness includes assessment through fitness tests and records, interpreting, planning
and implementing appropriate programs that support fitness and health goals.
With the K to 12 Health curriculum, a learner should be able to achieve, sustain and
promote lifelong and wellness. The program’s rich and challenging learning experiences
promote the development of the macro skills of practicing desirable health habits.
Health Education from Kindergarten to Grade 10 focuses on the physical, mental,
emotional, social, moral and spiritual dimensions of holistic health and enables the learners to
acquire essential knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to promote good nutrition, prevent
and control diseases and substance misuse and abuse, reduce health-related risk behaviors to
prevent and control injuries with the end in view of maintaining and improving personal, family,
community, and environmental health.
1. Learning is an active process.
2. The more senses that are involved in learning, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
5. Learning is Meaningful when it is connected to student’s everyday life.

information.
