The Overarching Statement provides general advice about learning, teaching and assessment based on understandings about how students learn best in outcomes-focused education. This section builds on this advice in the context of the Health and Physical Education learning area.
Additional information is provided on evaluating attitudes and values.
Values and Attitudes Indications of how students value a healthy, active lifestyle may be gathered through observations of student behaviours and their attitudes in school, the classroom, work and recreational settings. Students beliefs and attitudes towards particular issues or situations may be obtained through simple open-ended questionnaires, observations and attitudinal surveys. Strong responses may provide further opportunities for teaching and learning activities such as discussion of more appropriate behaviours.
