Self – Evaluation

Syllabus

Class Activities

 

Prepare a typed paper presenting your personal philosophy of physical education that analyzes and supports this position. Include specific information that personally applies to your growth in behavior self-management skills, communication skill building, self-esteem building, and resource utilization in relation to PED 235.

In addition, include your opinion on the relationship between physical education/sport and education. Also, carefully analyze the career opportunities and choices (teaching/coaching, business, industry, etc.) available in physical education and arrive at a career decision for yourself that can be supported with sound reasoning.

The main "thread" running through all of this paper is a self-analysis/evaluation of your progress throughout the course, PED 235, as to where you've been, where you are, where you need to be, and how this course has met your needs.

Be sure that you address all the points of this self-evaluation!!!!!!
