TPACK and Physical Education/Health


Issues and Problems

Physical Inactivity

Today’s children are less physically active Technology potential Motivating to increase physical activity Active Software

– Downhill Skier– Dance Dance Revolution– Wii


Issues and Problems

Instructional Time for Health and P.E.

Refocus of school priorities on meeting standards in content areas and increasing test scores

Less emphasis on health and physical education Recommendations

– 50 hours of health instruction per year– (K-5) 150 min of P.E. instruction per week – (6-12) 225 min of P.E. instruction per week


Issues and Problems

Accuracy of Health & P.E. Resources

With a wide range of information on the Internet, students need to:

become more information literate become good consumers of health and fitness

production and information differentiate between accurate and inaccurate

information in a health and fitness context


Issues and Problems

Addressing the Standards

National Physical Education Standards– www.aahperd.org/naspe

National Health Education Standards– www.eric.ed.gov (report: ed387483)

Need for greater implementation of the standards Technology can assist by

– Posting and sharing information– Sharing successful standards-based curricula– Standards-based software


Issues and Problems

Handling Controversial Health Issues

Too many issues may water down curriculum Special interest groups Controversial issues

– Human sexuality– Date rape– Suicide– Drugs– Character education


Technology Integration Strategies

Technology and Standards

Technology can: – support improvements in fitness (PE 3, 4)– develop and improve motor skills (PE 1, 2)– improve students’ beliefs and interactions related to

physical activity (PE 5, 6)– access and enhance personal health (HE 3, 6)– support procurement of valid health information (HE 1,

2, 4)– influence others’ health behaviors (HE 5, 7)– support interdisciplinary instruction



Supporting Improved Fitness

Devices and software to analyze, monitor, and improve fitness

Exercise equipment Monitors help students track their efforts

– Heart rate and blood pressure devices– Body composition analyzers– Pedometers, accelerometers, and spirometers

Software to develop and track fitness goals



Developing and Improving Motor Skill Performance

Information Modeling Visual feedback Self-analysis



Shaping Students’ Beliefs and Interactions Related to Physical Activity

Affective domain Limited software Numerous videos and Internet sites Connect students of various backgrounds Students learn about history of sports and dances



Helping Students Assess and Enhance Personal Health

Motivated by connection between material and themselves

Information is not enough Software guides to making changes

– Nutritional analysis programs– Risk assessment programs

• http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/atpiii/calculator.asp



Helping Students Obtain Valid Health Information

Before: primary source books and class Today: books, classes, Internet, software Needed: ability to distinguish between accurate

and inaccurate information



Influencing Health Behaviors

Mentoring Email Videoconferencing Online projects such as WebQuests Video simulations



Supporting Interdisciplinary Instruction

Subject areas supporting each other– Physical education: benefits of training and conditions– Health: diet and physical activity– Science: digestive system– Math: calorie problems– Technology: Internet research and multimedia project

development tools


P.E. and H.E. Online

Recent Trend

Online courses in physical and health education Number of K-12 schools offering online courses

growing exponentially Florida Virtual School

– P.E. and H.E courses had the highest enrollment

Typically, online courses involve students setting goals, logging activity, and journaling
