PHYSICAL

DEVELOPMENT
IMPLICATIONS IN TEACHING
AND LEARNING

APPROACHES,
STRATEGIES AND
METHODS
CHILDHOOD(7-12 years)
Children can be taught to play musical instruments and
arts.
Involve the children in games, swimming, gymnastic so
as to strengthen their muscles, build resistance and
develop better body movement.
Allow opportunities for boys to be involved with games
such as football and appropriate games or sports for girls
like netball.
Inculcate healthy activities such as exercise and good
eating habits. Differences in size and weight among
peers, especially if the child is overweight can give rise

to adaptation and social problems.


Teachers are advised to guide the children when
necessary. Too much help will encourage
dependency and may cause lack of self-confidence.
Children will feel satisfied if they are able to do
things on their own.
Children develop
at different
pace. Avoid
comparing them with each other.
Children are active at this stage. A teacher can
prepare some activities like playing ball and running.
Activities must take into account childrens muscle
development especially the smaller muscles that are
not yet develop.

ADOLESCENCE(12-19)
Activities such as seminars or counseling can
help the early adolescence to accept oneself and
their body changes.
Prepare exercises to help them build strength
and body resistance.
At this stage they are very sensitive to the
physical changes, so it is appropriate to develop
consciousness in healthy lifestyle like goo eating
habit, exercise and to avoid negative activities
such as smoking and drugs.
Plan healthy social activities that are interesting.
Separate changing rooms for both boys and
girls.

Reduce opportunities for the girls to be


observed by the boys during the physical
exercises.
Puberty is also a sign of sexual maturity.
Prepare courses and talks on sexual
activities and the reproductive system so as
to equip the adolescence with knowledge of
the physical changes in them.
Sexual
behavior
may
need
early
adolescence to make some choices.
Teachers must allow them to discuss and
ask questions so to help them make the
right choice.

TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT

Normative development concerns the typical (normal)


capabilities, as well as limitations, of most children of a
given age within a given cultural group. It indicates a
typical range of what children can and cannot be
expected to do and learn at a given time.
Normative development is important because it
allows parents and other adults to understand what to
expect of a child physically at different ages. For
example, expecting a 3-year-old child to zip her own
coat would be unrealistic because she still is
developing the physical ability to use fingers in that
way.

Dynamic development concerns the


sequence and physical changes that occur
in all aspects of a child's functioning with
the passage of time and increasing
experience, and how these changes
interact.
A level that is too high may produce
frustration, distortion, or rote learning; one
that is too low can result in disinterest and
boredom

HOW TO DETERMINE ACTIVITIES


ACCORDING TO PHYSICAL
DEVELOPMENT

Reflect yourself for the activities that you love to


do at particular age. E.g : when a child aged 9 is in
a music class, he prefers to sing songs rather than
learn the notes.

What are the benefits of activities conducted?

What are the barriers for some children according


to their physical development and is there any
solutions to solve it?

Identify materials that could be used and if it


suits the age and the development of the
child.
Describe the areas of the physical
development involved.

Parents

and caregivers should pay attention to


their child's physical growth and give loving
support as their children develop these skills.
The implications to the primary teacher is to
give children enough physical activities to
influence their growth. The teacher is required
to plan in rhythmic patterns that improves the
control of their muscles and the body.
The activities must be varied to provide wide
range to suit the loco-motor processes.
The teacher should give children guidance and
counseling on areas of sex related attitudes.

TEACHING AND
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES

TEACHING OBJETIVES:

to make the students understand the


lecture given
show the student on how to apply the
knowledge given
help them till they can think
independently-improve their standard so
that they can challenge us

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:A learning objective is an outcome


statement that captures
specifically what knowledge,
skills, attitudes, which learners
should be able to exhibit.

SMART
S-

specific
M- measurable /
observable
A- attainable (time)
R- relevant
T- targeted

The students must be able to:-

*think critically
*think practically
*think creatively
*manage complex projects
*skillful performances

TEACHING AIDS
According to Eastern Kentucky University
(EKU), "A good aid is like a window, it
should not call attention to itself, it should
just let in the light." Teaching aids provide
a means of reiterating lessons, and they
provide students with the opportunity to
learn in a new light. More than classroom
decoration, teaching aids are designed to
teach, illustrate and reinforce lessons.

Children learn in a variety of ways; thus,


incorporating various techniques into the learning
process will prove most beneficial to children.

Edgar Dale the more sensory channels possible


in interacting with a resource, the better the
chance that many students can learn from it.

Example of Teaching
Aids

Realia
Realia are artifacts from the real world that are
related to the subject matter being studied.
Children can interact with the realia to gain
better perspective on what they are studying.
For example, Children practicing Spanish
conversation can role play ordering at a
restaurant using real menus printed in Spanish
from a Mexican restaurant. Other examples
include photographs, road maps and that frog
you dissected in biology class.

Teaching Tools for Physical


Assessment

Text Books
Text books are a typical, but important
teaching tool. The use of text books in class
allows students to read and review new
information and process it before hearing your
lecture. It is also a good source for students to
refer to when they are completing a practicum
or are new in the field. Text books are valuable
sources of information and can provide much
more content than a teacher usually teaches.

Visual

Aids

Visual aids such as PowerPoints,


charts and graphs can be created
by the teacher to present different
skills needed to perform a physical
assessment. Visuals are especially
useful when teaching students how
to read lab work, how to fill out a
patient's chart correctly and how to
fill out client history information.

Games
Games make learning fun for students of all
ages. You can create a game by using an old
game board or making your own. Make a set of
questions cards with questions such as "Name
one non-health related piece of information you
will have to collect from a patient during an
assessment" or "What are some factors you may
have to consider when assessing someone's
emotional health?" The students can take turns
rolling the dice and answering questions. If they
answer correctly, they can move their game
piece.

Dummies and Dolls


Dummies and dolls can be used to role
play a physical assessment. Students
can practice taking vital signs, listening
to the chest and performing other handson aspects of the exam. Other students
can role play with each other,
demonstrating proper listening and
questioning skills needed during an
assessment and proper interaction with
a patient.
