PED 212 WEEK 5 DISCUSSION 1
Discussion 1
Play vs. Sports |
This week you will reflect on the debate of organized sports vs.
unstructured free play. Over the years, parents, teachers, and
researchers have weighed the advantages and disadvantages of each in
consideration as to what is most appropriate for young children.
In this discussion forum you will research the issues and then
offer the pros and cons for both organized sport and unstructured free play in
the following categories:
·
Cost of equipment and
participation
·
Safety and injuries
·
Relevance within a
school environment
·
Inclusion of children
with special needs
·
Developing
relationships within the community
·
Home/school connection
You must include at least two outside sources. One source
should support organized sports and one should support unstructured free
play. Start your research using the Ashford Library databases.
Guided Response: Respond to two classmates. Use this
opportunity to share your personal opinion on these issues. If applicable,
offer examples of personal or professional experience to support your
conclusions.
