ANALYSIS OF THE K to 12 CURRICULUM GUIDE
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The Curriculum guide on Physical Education shows the different standards it
focuses from Grades 1 to 10. These are all mainly related to the active participation of
students when it comes to physical activities and their understanding on the different
movement concepts, principles, and strategies. The scope and sequence for Grades 1
to 3 activities are integrative and inclusive in context while Grades 4 to 6 focuses on
health and skill enhancing activities which ensures that they are integrative an inclusive
in context. When it comes to the junior high students from Grades 7 to 10, their scope
and sequence are thematically organized which ensure that they are also integrative
and inclusive in context. As for the Grades 11 to 12, students can select from the given
menu of the physical activity courses.
The analysis of this curriculum guide was based on the following: (1) the
Cognitive Development; (2) Information Processing; and (3) Behaviorism/Social
Learning. From a cognitive development perspective, the whole curriculum is
appropriate because given the known cognitive capacities of children, the scope and
sequence are according to their age. For example, the health optimizing physical
education for Grades 11 and 12 are appropriate since according to their age, these are
just suited for their cognitive development. According to the Piagetian theory of
cognitive development, children move through four different stages of mental
development. This theory focuses not only on the understanding of how children acquire
knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence. Thus, the scope
differences from Grades 1 to 10 are just right for different ages steps into different stage
of development.
Information processing is also an important factor to analyze the given guide for it
talks about the movement of information. The content of the lessons from Grades 1 to
10 are just right for it shows that there is a cognitive process which encourage every
student to a deep understanding. The content is just enough for the information to be
successfully encoded to their minds. It is a good idea that all of the sensory, working,
and long-term memory will be used by the children through the different given lessons
and activities. Lastly, it is also important that there is a social learning. This is essential
especially when it comes to Physical Education. After scanning the content of the
curriculum guide, there is a given activities that can help aid the student’s behaviorism
and social learning especially when it comes to group activities, these are effective. All
in all, the whole guide shows an excellent scope and sequences which are just suited
from Grades 1 to 10. Ang gandaaa koo, ang galinggg ko magprocastinate omggg the
