How to integrate sport and healthy lifestyle approaches into the students' educational pathways

Teacher of All Subjects

7. How to integrate sport and lifestyles into students' educational paths
This step is linked to the Best Practices - Case Studies section of the project portal, which shows how students have been able to balance school and sport, in order to focus on the importance of those strategies developed through sport, and useful to educate students to a healthy lifestyle. Both parents and teachers need to determine what their priorities are. Although sport is important, as it does not only involve exercise but also social experiences as only few students, if any, will probably make a career out of sports. The workgroup of teachers, counselors and maybe sports psychologist should remind parents and educators that school results are still a priority. That does not mean that sports are not beneficial or important, but they should not take precedence over academics. Instructors and parents need to work together to guarantee students enough time for their academics — even when participating in sports activities.
Learning Objective
• Conceiving a teaching program on how to plan a sports activity in order to involve PE teachers, teachers of other subjects and external experts.
• Setting up worksheets and questionnaires for a specific activity (for example, trekking up the hills through paths and trails).
• All the potential setbacks for the accomplishment of the activity should be taken into account and analyzed along with the tools necessary for the activity, the time needed and different tracks and paths searched and mapped.
• After filling in the questionnaires during the PE lesson, some of the students in groups and with the appropriate tools will test their skills required for the activity and will try to cope and deal with those potential difficulties and setbacks specifically conceived by educators.
• These activities aim at challenging students in problem solving tasks, so that they can test their skills to cope with difficulties and work in team to look for and plan solutions.
