Physical Education In Secondary Schools     My philosophy of corporeal education in the secondary setting deals withstudents becoming physically fit. Also that students learn how to communicatewith others, especially in a team setting. My philosophy similarly holds in itdifferent teaching methods. Methods that physical education teachers can use toget the most out of their students. With this philosophy of physical education I contrive to use it toward becoming a best teacher.     The major reason for having physical education in secondary indoctrinates isto lead the students toward a better lifestyles and to be physically fit. Therewas an article published In 1992 by, The National Association for Sport andPhysical Education (NASPE), stating what "The Physically Fit Person" shouldconsist of. This article states cardinal factors of a physical fit person. Onefactor is that a physically fit person "has learn skills necessary to performa variety of physical activities". The second factor, "is the person physicallyfit". The third factor is "does this person participate regularly in physical natural action". The fourth is a physically fit person "knows the implications of andthe benefits from involvement in physical activity". The last factor is that aphysically fit person "values physical activity and its contributions to ahealthful lifestyle". The plan as physical educators is to have each child be aphysically fit person, by their draw of high school. This will take some workbut I believe it could be done.     Another very important issue to be learned in secondary physicaleducation is teamwork. This is a very important aspect in everyday life. Thishelps people think of others as much, or more, than themselves. instantly some workplaces are going to the team oriented style of work. The worker needs to beable to express ideas amongst his/her teammate s and come with solutions together.A good activity that could be introduced in secondary physical educationprograms is a ropes course. Rope courses are great for students to get into theteamwork mentality. This could help students be dependable on each other andtrust each other.     Education is not solely a necessity, but a major part of life. Somechildren perceive school as a punishment. Including myself, that was the way Ifelt as a child. But as I grew older I found out that education can be fun.Some children seem to take education for granted. When I was a school boy, Inever realized how much I was learning. The only thing that got me throughschool was the two days of physical education that I had per week.
