Abstract
Workshop Title: Exploring the progression of pedagogical skill related health related content knowledge through resistance movement (teacher) education Background This program and pedagogical approach facilitate opportunities for participants to experience active learning integrating physical, cognitive and social domains when accommodating their own constraints through a developmental series of resistance movement problems. It is presented for colleagues for both professional and personal physically active learning and living toolkits. Learning activities In essence, a skill theme approach (Graham et al., 2020) is complemented with explicit means to develop efficacy and agency across an educational resistance movement progression (Murray, 2013, 2014). These have been researched across primary, secondary (Murray and Napper-Owen, 2021) curricular and school wide school systems, and higher education settings (Murray, Murray and Howells, 2023). Accessibility of workshop This workshop may be experienced (and hopefully enjoyed) in a variety of ways, from fully immersed activity to engagement and reflection drawn vicariously. Workshop Outcomes The program is set collegially upon holistic learning domains. 1. Attendees will explore contextualised developmentally appropriate principles of practice from planning through implementation and then have opportunity to consider in their respective settings. 2. Colleagues will be able to try these and then reflect upon these, sharing insights in our online interactive padlet. This keep sake is populated with the program and links to the supporting and current research. 3. Attendee participation will be most gratefully acknowledged with a transcript certification of the “I Can Resist PCK” workshop.
