Elementary Physical Education is designed to help students plan lesson objectives for motor, cognitive, affective and social domains that are linked appropriately. Throughout the text, the authors illustrate various ways to teach motivational thinking, social skills and concepts. Tasks are labeled and symbols appear in the margins of lesson plans so readers can find examples of how to teach these skills and concepts to children. Each chapter includes sample lesson plans designed to be teaching tools which will help transform the ideas discussed in the textbook. The content is presented in complete lesson plans, lesson segments, lesson and unit outlines of tasks, or descriptions of content for lessons. The lesson plans are linked to the NASPE standards and can be downloaded from the book's companion website to enable students to design lessons to meet the needs of their situations and the lesson format requirements of their programs.Overall, this is a very research oriented text. Dr. Rovegno has translated the current research on learning, motivation, perceptions of competence, constructivism, higher-order thinking skills, social responsibility and multicultural diversity into easy to understand concepts and instructional techniques. The book will reinforce and extend student's understanding of topics tested in state and national certification exams and required by state and national certification agencies, and illustrate how to integrate these concepts and instructional techniques into lesson plans.
