Significancy of my inquiry question

My inquiry question is significant to me because as future physical and health educator my goals and objectives is to promote physical literacy participation through activities at a moderate to vigorous intensity levels that benefits all aspects of our well-being. In addition, my main objective of my inquiry question is to find out how can motivation increase self-esteem through different engagement opportunities in physical literacy. Most significant as a teacher candidate one of my main goals is to implement the big ideas of the BC curriculum into my philosophy of education. The core competencies work in implementing social and community health into different strategies that proposes healthy relationships and strategies that promotes a health and well-being of the school and community. Through the BC core competencies motivation and self-esteem are two elements of education that can help students achieve the main goals of curriculum.

Evidence based Research

The journal article, The Challenges of widening ‘Legitimate’ understandings of ability within physical education measures the relationship between understanding ability and the impact that has towards defining the purpose of physical education. Bourdieu, argues that an “individual habitus can be perceived as abilities defined by the values and attitudes prevalent within a given field” (Croston et.,2017, p.620). Meaning that physical education is measure placed upon body improvement. Typically, a physical education class is assess based upon the skill acquisition of an individual and whether the student can improve based on performance.

Personal Experience

My experience in the classroom, in term of assessment the norm of marking has being towards meeting a physical objective based on a standard benchmark. For example, students are graded upon their talent in specific drills or game performance and then assessing their performance out of five. Students are expected to meet a daily 5 that results in meeting standards that varsity athletes in University are expected to obtain. This is why this question is significant to me because the main focus of my inquiry question is focus on students that have lost their motivation for physical education based on their previous experiences of being assess by their skill acquisition.
