Abstract
M.Ed. (Media Studies)
The task of the school is to use the various school subjects
to assist pupils towards maturity. Each subject has a particular
role to play in the education occurrence. Physical
Education, which is a required subject, has its special role.
A number of misconceptions about the educational values of
Physical Education need to be cleared up. In addition, the
questionnaire which served as a pilot study brought into focus
some problems encountered in teaching this subject.
In this study, the objectives of Physical Education form the
basis of a demonstration of the position occupied by Physical
Education in the education occurrence. It is imperative that
all these objectives should be realised. There are, however,
many teachers of Physical Education who experience difficulty
in achieving these objectives on the cognitive, affective,
movement, physical and social levels.
Video is offered as a means to assist teachers in the attainment
of the objectives of Physical Education. Using a detailed plan
of a Physical Education lesson, demonstration is given at
every phase of the lesson how a video programme can be integrated
with the teaching. The unique characteristics of video,
which differ from those of any other medium, make it possible
for successful integration into every phase of a lesson. Using
video, the teacher is placed in a better position to attain
the objectives of Physical Education.
It is important to realise that video cannot replace all the
other educational media used by the Physical Education teacher
and that it should not be considered the only solution to problem
areas in the teaching of Physical Education.
