Sport Education Program:
SEPEP is a program designed especially for Physical Education, which can be used for a variety of sports including team sports, individual sports and fitness
programs. The SEPEP model encourages participation and involvement in physical education in school and out of school, because it provides an opportunity
to take on a variety of different roles within a sporting event, including manager, coach, umpire, scorer and many more. It gives students an opportunity to
take ownership and responsibility of their own learning, with the teacher taking the role of the facilitator, (Australia Sports Commission, 2007).The Sport
Education model has several distinct characteristics including, Seasons, Team Affiliation, Formal Competition, Keeping Records and Festivity, which will be
discussed in detail later on, (Metzler, 2001). The Sport Education Program was designed by Daryl Siedentop (1991), to provide students with a rich sporting
experience in a physical education context.
The season will cover 12 lessons and will be played in the Physical Education Centre. The Physical Education class has 30 students in and has been
specifically developed for a Year Nine Girls Class- Level 6 VELS.
Year 9 Student have been categorised as the most ‘at risk’ group for losing motivation in school . I noticed in my first practicum the year 9 girls were the
group I found most challenging as they would often lose interest in some activities and start chatting with their friends. I found it hard to keep everyone
engaged and motivated to participate consistently throughout the lesson. At the start of my practicum I gave the girls a Cool PE survey (See Appendix 1),
asking them a range of questions about their physical education classes. I collated the data from the surveys and structured this program around the
results. Most of the girls did enjoy physical education, and one thing they wanted to change about their PE classes was to do something different. A few of
the girls said they enjoyed team sports and some of them even play basketball outside of school.
Recent research has shown that girls experiences of Physical Education in school are often negative, (Australian Sports Commission, 2007). The SEPEP
model was chosen because I believe it will increase their motivation and engagement, considering it is a student-centred model of learning. The students
will take responsibility of their learning and have opportunities to take on different roles in a team, such as a player, umpire, scorer, team manager, and
many more. Myself as the teacher will take the role as a facilitator, helping students out and making sure everything is running smoothly. A large part of the
2|Page
SEPEP program is the Competition and Celebration at the conclusion of the season and unit. I think this part of the program will really motivate and excite
the students. For the competition they will be able to get dressed up and create outfits for their teams, they will also be given the opportunity to create a
team chant or dance for their team. I believe this aspect will really appeal to the girls, and will allow them to get involved in their team spirit. SEPEP relies
on direct instruction, peer teaching and cooperative learning, so it will give everyone a chance to work together and try something different.
Seasons: A season involves a series of consecutive lessons, which include pre-season activities, and practice leading up to competition.
Team Affiliation: Students become a member of a team throughout the season, and take on different roles such as manager, coach, umpire and so on, as
well as playing in the team.
Formal Competition: The students practice throughout the season leading up to a formal competition and then a celebrative event at the conclusion of the
program.
Keeping Records: Provides opportunities for keeping records team records: outcome and scores of matches and individual records; player performance.
Festivity: The festivity of the sport can be encouraged through sports notice board, team photos, uniforms, and team chants.

Description of Students Roles:
SEPEP provides an opportunity for students to understand and be involved in the management and organisation of a sport as well as playing the sport.
Students will be allocated into a team and will be a player, however when the teams are allocated they will also assume a role in their team. After the first
couple of lessons I will allocate teams along with the sports board representative, taking into account different skill levels and abilities, groups of friends. In
the first couple of lessons we will have a discussion of the characteristics of the different roles, and they will have an opportunity to show interest in which
role they wanted to play in their team. The roles include:
Player
Team Manager
Captain/Vice Captain
Coach
Umpires
Scorers

competition must sign and abide by this code of conduct.

Safety:
An important objective of these procedures is the provision of safe environments for physical education in sport.
When planning this program it is my responsibility the activities, equipment and settings are all safe for students.
Here are some things I can do to make sure it is a safe environment for my class.

Rules:
The program will be played against the official Basketball Rules, See Appendix 2.
There will be six teams, each with five players on. The games will go for 15 minutes, with a minute break at half time. The sports board representative
will create a fixture in which all teams will verse each other. The competition will be played over 4 lessons, followed by the award ceremony and end of
season festivities.

Choosing a team role:
Here is your opportunity to show interest in what role you would like to contribute to your team. Myself and the sports board representatives will make the
final decision on the roles. We will do our best to allocate you to a role that you choose in your top 3 preferences but unfortunately not everybody will be
able to get what they want.

Assessment:
Assessment is an ongoing process, referring to obtaining and interpreting information about the skills, knowledge and attitudes of pupils both formally and
informally. Assessment is used to determine how a student is progressing, and make changes in the program to maximise student learning and
performance (Tinning et al, 2001).
Purposes of assessment:
Tinning, et al 2001.
Assessment for Learning occurs when teachers use inferences about student progress and learning to inform their teaching. The wide variety of information
that teachers collect provide the basis to for determining what needs to be done next to maximise learning. The purpose of this type of assessment is
Formative and is done throughout the learning process.
Assessment as Learning occurs when students monitor and reflect on their progress to inform future learning goals. This type of assessment lets students
take responsibility for their own learning and monitoring future direction.
Assessment of Learning occurs when teachers use evidence of student learning to make judgements of student learning against goals and standards. The
purpose of this type of assessment is usually summative and is done at the conclusion of a unit or task.

Learning Domains and Interactions:
Sport Education aims for student learning across all three learning domains; cognitive, affective and psychomotor. These three learning domains cover the
main goal of SEPEP which are to be a literate, competent and enthusiastic sports person. Although from time to time there will be a focus on one domain
priority, over the whole season it will balance out amongst all areas of the learning domains.
(Mezler, 2001)
It is beneficial for a teacher to understand the learning that is fostered in all parts of the Sport Education model so the teacher can provide a balance for
each domain priority across the season.
The following table shows how the various domain priorities shift across various times in basketball Sport Education program.
