How to Create Portfolio of Motor Skills Associated with Fitness in Physical Education Class

Physical education teachers may incorporate the creation of a portfolio within the physical education classes to enhance physical literacy and enrich practical knowledge with a strong theoretical foundation. Through this approach, physical education teachers inspire students to develop a deeper understanding of the importance of physical fitness and the diverse methodologies for its improvement.

Key cognitive level in this scenario is conditional (check chapter Scenarios), while scenario can be performed in 6 and more weeks.

Portfolios are unique compilations that bridge theory and practice, fostering a deeper understanding of physical fitness. Portfolios go beyond traditional teaching, creating a lasting and comprehensive learning experience, stimulating students to be active in learning.
