This Physical Education Teaching Support Level 2 course consists of structured lectures followed by an assessment, each addressing key areas of Physical Education (PE) knowledge relevant to teaching support roles.
The course begins with the foundations of Physical Education, exploring its role within schools, historical and philosophical perspectives, and professional and ethical considerations. Learners develop an understanding of how Physical Education supports holistic development and aligns with wider educational goals.
Anatomy and physiology introduce body systems, how they function, and how exercise affects the body. Principles of training and conditioning provide awareness of how physical activity supports fitness, health, and performance when applied appropriately.
Exercise science builds understanding of biomechanics, kinesiology, energy systems, and nutrition, enabling learners to appreciate how movement efficiency, energy use, and diet influence physical activity. Sports psychology explores motivation, goal-setting, self-regulation, team dynamics, and leadership within Physical Education contexts.
Motor learning focuses on motor development, coordination, control, feedback, and practice strategies, helping learners understand how skills are acquired and refined over time. Teaching strategies and assessment techniques introduce inclusive approaches, differentiated instruction, and methods used to monitor and support student learning outcomes in Physical Education (PE).
The course also examines the role of technology in Physical Education, including digital tools, resources, and evaluation of technology to enhance teaching and learning. Professional development concludes the course, covering collaboration, networking, career development, leadership, and advocacy within Physical Education environments.
Learners complete a final assessment to demonstrate understanding of Physical Education (PE) concepts and their application in teaching support roles.
