INTRODUCTION
The report aims to prepare knowledge, aims and understanding about the teaching in own
area of specialisation. Teaching is necessary and a continuous part of an individual life. It leads
to encourage and enhance personal and professional development within a person. Teaching is
crucial in order to develop own self and boost knowledge. Therefore, a teacher plays vital role in
every field. They understand the capabilities and skills of students and take necessary actions to
create development. This report is going to analyse and explain the aims, issues, structure,
qualifications and the importance of learning programmes also its effectiveness in own area of
teaching which is Sports-physical education (Alt, 2018). Also, the report will going to discuss
own approaches for planning and programmes and how it helps in resolving curriculum issues.
There will be discussion about the resources used by sport teacher to provide best learning. At
last, self reflection on the strength and improvements will also be provided in the report.
MAIN BODY
TASK
1.1 explain aims and purpose of education and training in own specialist area
Education and training is the crucial aspect for students. These are the basic need for the
self development of an individual. Teachers ascertain some aims and objectives which they
achieve through providing knowledge in their field of specialisation. Therefore, as being a sports
teacher, the main aim is to provide education to be physically fit and remain healthy. Students
are lead through with many day to day activities which require healthy diet plans, knowledge
about good postures and exercises, develop characters and develop knowledge about sports.
Also, as a sports teacher, there is need for providing knowledge about physical equipments and
make students indulge in various training and sports activities so that, they will remain active and
adopt good habits in their life. My own aim from education and training is to develop new
knowledge among students. My aim is to make them fit in all aspects and take proper decision
about their own health and fitness.

1.2 explain various philosophical issues related with education and training in own specialist
area.
Philosophical issues are those which are develop within an individual as per their
behaviour, nature and attitude (Cahyono, and Ludwig, 2018). Therefore, it has ascertained that
there may rise issues in society terms, values and mentality which might affect the thinking of a
teacher while delivering knowledge and skills. In education and training, the issues may arrive in
terms of giving mental and physical education which may differ person to person needs. Every
individual, has different physical and mental growth that require more concentrated focus as per
each individual preferences. As a sports teacher, there is goals to develop sense of appreciation,
working in boundaries and limitation as per sports rule. So that, it may create conflicts and
discrimination due to having different backgrounds of people. There are various philosophical
issues occurs in teaching which are specialist professional knowledge and work ethics. These
issues might impact on the learner’s environment in promoting classroom environment and
engage them. I may face issue of professional ethics as it is my training period so i have to learn
about the ethics which can impact on my area of work.
2.1 Showcase the aims and structure of key qualifications in own specialist area
Every teacher is qualified and a degree holder in their respective field of specialisation.
Qualification is necessary to take part in any schools or college across the country. Therefore,
being a sports teacher, the qualifications which are required as per UK curriculum is to have
degree in physical education B.P. Ed degree from a reputed university and who holds masters in
sports has M.P (Carrillo, and Flores, 2020). Also, the teacher must have good experiences and
previous participation in sports community which reflects that, the individual has practical
knowledge of sports and its equipments. The aims of qualification are to involve awarding body
specifications and develop curriculum in order to teach the students properly. Being a teacher of
sports, I need to ensure the development issues in order to carry out effective practices. This
shows that, I must emphasize on the key qualification of modular and linear and holistic structure
in teaching for sports.
2.2 describe the aims and structure of learning programmes in own specialist area
Learning programmes are the crucial activity which a teacher conduct during the sessions
and lectures. It is an opportunity for students to take participate and improve skills and
knowledge through being a part of interesting activities. Learning programmes could be set for

short, medium or long term purpose as per the curriculum design. The aim and structure for
learning programme in sports reflects that, the teacher must start with basic training like
exercises, yoga and theoretical education about health and body postures. These learning
programmes will help in understanding student weakness and make them encourage for
improvements. The structure of learning programme for sports includes 1 week practical training
which includes running, sports games and competition In which one day will be for theoretical
guidance and group quizzes. It will be effective for the students to enhance the learning
excellence.
2.3 evaluate self approach to planning and preparation for the delivery
A teacher has learning approaches towards the delivery of learning programmes. It has
ascertained that learning programmes are necessary to be structures and provided effectively so
that the teacher will meet with the need of learners. Planning and preparation of the learning
programmes depends of various approaches of teachers. As being a sports teacher, there is
requirement of measuring and determining that what should be learned and how many students
are ready to participate (de Kadt, 2020). After that, there is need to set goals and make planning
for competition, sports activities for physical fitness that are much necessary for daily life. The
approach is providing basic trainings first so that, the student will build the capability and
strength to cope up with complex sports training and be able to participate in championships.
The aim of learning programme is to target the curriculum requirements and ascertain the growth
of the student. I need to use specific resources which will meet the learner’s needs and building
connection with them.
3.1 Evaluate the inclusitivity of own approach to the planning and preparation of a learning
programme.
The approaches are vital for planning and preparing learning programmes by using
approaches and areas of delivering these programmes. The inclusiveness is all about working
upon each individual preferences. Inclusive training includes all those aspects which a teacher
needs to maintain while providing knowledge and skills. Every student has its own perception
and needs which must be consider while delivering training and learning programmes. As being
a sports teacher, own inclusiveness approach is that the disable children will get different
trainings both theoretical and practical which are useful for them to use in real life. Whereas, the
learning programme will target all the other students belongs to same age group and physical

capabilities. These programmes will be divided as per sessions in which the students who have
less physical growth must get much concentration.
3.2 How own approach to planning and preparation of a learning programme solves curriculum
issues
Curriculum is the most vital practice and design of teaching. It is applicable for all the
fields and important for both learners and teachers. Curriculum contains all the information
related to teaching and topics which are going to use vitally throughout the sessions. As a sports
teacher, there are some curriculum issues arises while designing the structures and its content.
These issues mainly includes understanding about the students, knowing their abilities and
development of motor skills to analyse the sense of abilities ( Kotsifakos, and.et.al 2020). These
understanding helps the teacher to make curriculum and deliver learning programmes. New
emerging technologies plays vital role in operating curriculum and make students aware about it.
Digital tools and platforms help in keeping aware the students about the curriculums and learning
programmes. This will make them engage effectively. The structure of learning programme
includes the demonstration of key facts about learning outcomes, distance learning and setting
appropriate timing for the programme.
4.1 ways through which teaching and learning resources helps in providing teaching
Teaching and learning resources are required for both teachers and students. Resources
are the teaching aid which provide efficiency in teaching and make the work in simple manner.
There are various resources which are helpful for the teachers to provide better learning and
knowledge. These resources are digital technology, internet, Moodle software, zoom applications
and equipments. These are helpful to interact with students and easily acknowledge their
problems. Therefore, it will be ascertain the best knowledge about the sports practices in both
theoretical and practical ways (Lederman, and Lederman, 2019). These resources helps to meet
the learners needs due to keeping them in touch with the teachers and take guidance at any time
they want. Also, these resources are helpful in completing projects and time saving.
4.2 analyse the inclusiveness of own use of teaching and learning resources in a specialist area.
The inclusiveness of using teaching and learning resources is required for a teacher. As
inclusive needs show how the teacher takes action for meeting with every learner needs who
belongs to different backgrounds and has different needs and perception. Using resources for

sports teaching helps in creating creative programme, use digital tools like fitness applications
also, other physical equipments are helpful like props and equipments during running, playing or
exercising. As being sports teacher, there are helpful resources are charts and diagrams and
projectors become much helpful to describe the human body and how the student needs to take
actions which does not affect on their health. I will use various learning resources like vocal
recordings, text books and equipments and models to show the whole body structure for learning
sports health and fitness. There are various technological resources like handouts and zoom to
support learners at any area and on any platforms. These applications are of great use to guide
them and provide projects also.
5.1 liaise with others within a specialist area to develop own practice.
Liaise with others refers to maintain and creating relations with others. It shows that how
a teacher liaises with others in their specific fields. It is necessary for own practice to liaison with
others and take responsibilities by own (Parsons, and MacCallum, 2019). There are many
situations when teacher also need guidance and specification with others groups. It is meant that
by working with two or more organisations in order to share information is required in the sports
specialisation. Being a physical education teacher, working with other organisation when
competition is held, inter or intra college competition and sports championships or leagues.
Collaborating with other groups provides opportunities in sport to both teacher and learners.
5.2 review the impact of liaison with other teachers and trainers within own specialist area on
own practice.
The liaison has impact of the working practice of teachers. Collaborating and sharing
information among groups and maintaining relations are helpful for the teachers within the
college or schools. It makes them confident and acknowledge about any changes which need to
be taken prominently. Liaison with other teachers and trainers will be helpful in sports as to keep
a healthy working environment. But the sports teacher could not take information regarding
updates in sports fields from other teachers as they do not have expertise in this field. As being a
sports trainee, there is positive impact of the liaison to know the student strength and weak
factors while punishing them.

6.1 Review the effectiveness of own knowledge and skills in a specialist area.
In the teaching for own area of specialism i.e. physical education, it has ascertained that I
have reviewed on my own knowledge and skills. by providing learning to my students regarding
sports and health concept, I have analysed that I am able to make good interconnection with the
student, it helps to provide them great information regarding physical fitness as per their needs
(Quaicoe, and Pata, 2018). I have great observing sense through which, I could make my
students improve their body postures and unhealthy habits which are impacting on their body.
Also, I have knowledge about how to use health and safety precautions while using sports
equipments.
6.2 identify own strengths and areas for improvement in relation to practice in a specialist area
In the field of sports and physical education, I have much strength in my own
specialisation area. As I have past experiences and achieved many medals in sports
championship. Therefore, I could be a good leader to provide great techniques and methods
games and sports challenges. Also, one of my great strength is to to be creative as I could indulge
learners towards the physical education by making creative programmes and ideas such as role
plays, challenges that will seek their interest towards sports.
6.3 identify opportunities to improve and update own knowledge and skills in a specialist area.
There are a lot of opportunities in the fields of sports which will help me to update my
knowledge and skills (Santally, and.et.al., 2020). The opportunities include giving regular
trainings, conducting sport championship and also, there are a lot of opportunities for world tour
and creating international presence. There are various areas which needs to be improve are
described in action plan

individuals. There are a lot of techniques and objectives which teacher create to meet with every
person needs. The report has shown that resolving issues in curriculum and proving inclusive
practices are necessary to helping students in the subject area.
