Role of filmmaking in the ICT section of

PDHPE Syllabus

Videos/filmmaking can be implemented within the learning environment in PDHPE as an effective cognitive tool as they can be used to establish prior knowledge, to introduce a new topic, to summarise a major topic or to reinforce learning. The PDHPE Years 7–10 Syllabus has included the following ICT skills in the essential content all of which can be utilized through film making:

• Enter data into a prepared template format and analyse it

• Import, mailmerge and reformat data/fields

• Demonstrate an understanding of ethical issues in the use of ICT

• Generate specific reports with regard to ethical issues, e.g. print

without address and details

• Use simulation software to make choices and decisions as a

member of a team.

‘A Vision of K-12 Students

Today‘A vision of K-12 students today’ effectively conveys that technology has a significant influence on education and

students’ motivation and willingness to learn. Students living in the 21st century are heavily dependent on technology as it is an integral part of their lives. By encorporating technology in education encourages students to be more engaged and

interested in the classroom. It also provides avenue for students’ creativity (creating games/activities), personal

interpretations (health scenarios) and independent/collaborative learning (team sports). This is evident in the ICT cross curriculum content for PDHPE as

students enhance their ability to use information and communication technologies in health and physical activity

contexts.

At the beginning of the

short film the audience is

presented with written

text outlining the benefits

associated and positive

outcomes associated with

the use of technology in

the classroom. It also

suggests that technology

allows students’ to gain a

deep understanding of the

content that is being

taught and to develop as

creative, independent

learners.

The utilization of captions held by a vast

demographic of students, effectually

expresses the STUDENTS EMOTIONS,

THOUGHTS and AMBITIONS without the use of dialogue,

through the expressions on their

faces and the emotive words written on their

pieces of paper.
