Introduction & Justification
Welcome to our wiki! This interactive webpage was designed to provide Physical Education teachers with a ready-made unit complete with resources for the teaching of Unit 3, Area of Study 1: 'Monitoring and promotion of physical activity', in correlation with the key knowledge and skills outlined in the Physical Education VCE Study Guide 2011-2014.

According to the Study Guide, the 'Monitoring and promotion of physical activity' Area of Study, uses subjective and objective methods for assessing the student’s own and another cohort’s physical activity and sedentary levels. Students analyse the advantages and limitations of each of these methods to determine the most appropriate measure for a given setting. Students identify components of the social-ecological model to assist in the critique of government and non-government strategies aimed at increasing physical activity within the population.

Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to analyse individual and population levels of sedentary behaviour and participation in physical activity, and evaluate initiatives and strategies that promote adherence to the National Physical Activity Guidelines.

This wiki contains a unit plan overview, a more detailed week-by-week plan inclusive of learning activities and assessments as well as the appropriate references and links.

We hope that this comprehensive guide will assist in your teaching and learning, and provide interesting, informative and interactive lessons for your students.

Happy teaching! :)
