In the present time there is a lot of confusion related to right teaching way, some things that
lecture is part of teaching some disagrees. But in related to the present world the teaching must
be associated with active learning along with the problem-solving approach. This approach will
help the student in understanding the true effect of the materials by which they can generate their
own thinking about that subject which they can relate with own developing ideas (Haerens,
Aelterman, Vansteenkiste, Soenens & Van Petegem, 2015). Things that must be taught in
Physical education are promoting a proactive lifestyle, handle challenging things present in the
environment with creative thinking in fun-loving settings. It must teach to develop related
competency along with confidence which is important for this uncertain dynamic world. It also
must include developing interpersonal skills, how to work in a team and related leadership
qualities of life. Things which must be taught should be decided by a panel of senior physical
educators which must have a great amount of knowledge related to this field and have seen
things changing from very close range (Ward, Kim, Ko, & Li, 2015). Through their expertise,
they can regulate the present need of the student and can connect their requirement with future
needs. These are the people which actually understand the gap between present and future need
of learning which can be fulfilled with their ample knowledge.
Current world has not remained the same as it was in past and similar thing will not remain
the same for the future. So, these materials will help in providing ample opportunity to the
student to understand their capability, recognize their skills, strength, and weakness in order to
prepare themselves for future need. These materials will actually help the student to build their
mental strength in order to overcome problems related to their personal as well as professional
life. This also will help them to build that personality along with innovative understanding which
they will need while entering in future corporate world (Tsangaridou & Polemitou, 2015). These
materials must be taught in a progressive way in order to increase understanding because every
student is not born with high-level IQ and their speed of learning also varies. Hence a
progressive way of learning must be there so that each level of student will be capable enough to
understand importance of these materials.
Here, the role of the teacher must be like a mentor or guide who will help these students to
understand what is best for them in future and how things can impact their personal as well as
professional life. It is the duty of the teacher to transform their students into a sound body with a
sound mind (Leptokaridou, Vlachopoulos & Papaioannou, 2016). The most important role of the
student is to engage themselves in each and every activity in order to increase their learning
capability along with adopting such skills which will be beneficial for their long-run
development and growth. It is the responsibility of the student to clear their every single doubt
related to the topic so that a clear understanding can be developed. It is also the role of the
student to develop their own goals and prepare their action plan according to the present
situation.
