An ambitious proposal? This was the first poster I ever made and in the end I was pretty proud of it. I did not create it like a normal poster just because it wasn't me when I did it according to the "norm" and I had fun making it more interactive. Anyway, I wanted to see whether our PETE program reflected the needs of the students we teach. Are we teaching future PE teachers to become successful teachers? Several ambiguous questions came up later on. What defines a successful teacher? Should we look at it from the student (child)'s perspective? Or from the teacher's perspective?
Still... my initial question still stands. Are we, as educators moving along with how our students learn these days? Technology has changed many aspects of our students' lives, especially when it comes to being physically active. How can we combine both PE and technology to "hook" the students to being more active? To believe in the purpose of movement? To enjoy moving? To want to move to be and stay healthy?
I have many questions... the biggest quest in graduate school is how I answer such questions. How do I put such questions in a research study? I often look to the broad picture and have a difficult time narrowing down my quest of inquiry.
That is what I am working on right now.
