succession.
 9 Laws of Motion:
 Altitude
 Force
 Motion
 Sequence
 Direction
 Form

 She and her husband founded an internationally known college in Germany, Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln, to
train teachers in sport and physical education
 - The college taught a “natural approach to teaching children to move effectively in all kinds of situations”.
 - The teacher’s role was to provide an environment that would encourage children to explore movement freely in
their own way.
 Teacher’s equipment:
 Balls
 Ropes
 Benches
 Wands
 Boxes
 Allow children to develop a wide variety of movement responses individually, with partners, or within small groups.
 - Teachers were encouraged to challenge children by asking questions such as “Who can do this?” and “How can
this be done differently?
LISELOTT DIEM
 Considered by most as the true pioneer of movement education.
 - Critical contribution: Theory of Movement (Focusing specifically on the concept of effort)
 - He believed that the body was an instrument of expression
 - Made a distinction between: Expressive movement and Functional Movement
 Expressive Movement: Communicates ideas in dance or other forms of artistic expression
 Functional Movement: Movements that serve as a purpose in everyday life. Such as sports and
games.
 - Identified 4 factors of movement:
 Weight
 Space
 Time

 It is an important aspect of physical education programs, particularly at elementary school level. It
explores the science of movement
  It designed to help the young pupil become more aware of their bodies and teach them how to
have better and more effective movement.

NATURE AND IMPORTANCE OF MOVEMENT EDUCATION

THE PRINCIPLES OF MOVEMENT

EDUCATION
 Movement education focuses on motor skills and cognitive
knowledge, it enables students to understand the significance of
movement and how each skill can be modified and adapted to
achieve certain movement skills. Students learn fundamental
movement skills (FMS) prior to participating in any sporting
activities or games.
THE AIM OF MOVEMENT EDUCATION

 Students develop these skills individually, in pairs, or in
groups. Students participate in the skill based on their
ability, they are encouraged to adapt and modify
movements using their creativity. The teachers role is to
be a facilitator and provide students with this learning
environment. Students are presented with various
problem-solving movement challenges to assist students
in understanding, exploring, and analysing various
solutions on how their body moves. Teachers utilise
specific questioning techniques such as how did you
achieve this skill?
 The Movement Education is clearly not a new idea. As ideas developed, the
framework for movement education became more and more complex.
Professionals began to disagree about the use or exact meaning of terms.
As a result, the concepts of human movement and early presentations of the
Movement Education sometimes became intimidating and difficult to use
in practical settings.
MOVEMENT EDUCATION: AT THE

HEART OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
 - In physical education we want to develop a child’s fundamental movement skills.
By utilising this approach in physical education lessons, students in 4/5 Superstars
would develop positive psychological, physiological and behavioural well-being .
In addition, students develop their decision making skills, problem solving skills
and communication skills.
THE RATIONALE OF MOVEMENT

EDUCATION
 Movement educations provides a cornerstone for active lifestyle
 • Children are provided with activities that require problem solving skills and accurate
 decision making, this is achieved when students can determine how the skills are performed
 • Furthermore, students must utilise their communication skills to negotiate with other peers, this approach promotes learning in a social
context through the construction of groups
Approaches Movement Education

 Teachers present students with a series of problem-solving movement challenges to help students explore and understand their body
 Encourages individual creativity and the ability to adapt and modify movements
 Developmentally appropriate approach to physical education
 Meeting the developmental needs of the learner
 Develops competence ,self-confidence in ability
THE BENEFITS OF MOVEMENT EDUCATION

 Teacher have a responsibility to create a physical education program that encourages
physical growth and development of all students. Teachers are to support the “acquisition
of movement skills and nurture positive attitudes towards physical activity”, students are
to be provided with ample opportunities to develop and apply fundamental movement
skills, as this enhances creativity aesthetic awareness, and develop positive attitudes
towards regular physical activity . Acquiring the skills correctly will enable students to
become intrinsically motivated in their physical education, as students become competent
and confident in their performance of FMS. This may lead to a greater willingness to
participate in physical activities that may also provide opportunities to improve fitness
levels and reduce the risk of unhealthy weight gain
