PED 212 WEEK 4 DISCUSSION 2

Discussion 2

 

Critical Thinking

In this discussion forum, you will examine your critical thinking, inquiring, and communication skills within the subject of physical education.

Questioning compels thinking and, as thinkers, you assess what you read and incorporate knowledge with your prior understanding of the subject. As part of this discussion, you will read about concepts surrounding physical education and evaluate your previous knowledge on this subject. Then, you will create your own question for your classmates to answer.

Complete each of the following sections:

Section 1: KWL Chart

Before reading Chapter 8, fill in the “What I Know” and “What I Want to Know” section of the following chart. Then read the chapters and complete the “What I Learned” section of the chart*. You will not include the KWL chart in your discussion post.

Section 2: Creating Your Own Discussion Question/Prompt

For your initial post, you will create your own discussion prompt based on your own research and review of the chapter reading for this week.  Your questions need to originate from one of the concepts introduced in Chapter 8.

After reading, use your completed chart and chapter reading to formulate a discussion prompt. Your discussion prompt should include all of the following:

a.     An opening question or statement to introduce the topic:  

o    Examples: What are some difficulties that an obese child might have during a PE lesson? OR List several difficulties that an obese child might encounter during a PE lesson.

b.    A question or statement that requires further research or thinking on the subject:

o    Examples: What are some adaptations that a teacher can make to ensure that an obese child is able to complete a physical activity? OR Explain how a teacher can adapt a physical education lesson to accommodate an obese child.

c.     A question or statement that requires the reader to apply it to their own situation, current or future profession:

o    Example: What are some outside resources or websites that you would use to offer support to an obese child and their family? OR Evaluate a website that you would use to support an obese child and their family. Explain how you would use this resource.

Additional Tips

·         Use words such as: compare, contrast, discuss, evaluate, explain, how, why, or why not.

·         Your prompt should be open-ended (i.e., it cannot be answered with just a "yes" or "no" statement, a one-word answer, or a simple definition).

·         Your prompt can require the reader to do further research on the subject, such as researching a website or outside source.  

Guided Response: Review and critically answer two of your classmates’ questions. Include any resources that you found to support your answer. You can also include questions in your response that will further the discussion on the topic.
