In
my opinion, physical education should be an outlet for moral development.
During physical education, students learn team work, good sportsmanship,
leadership skills, and respect at a young age. From the start, they are taught to
treat others how they would like to be treated. The lessons taught are carried
over into adulthood. In some cases, I feel that moral development is suppressed
and not emphasized enough in physical education. The younger generations are becoming
less aware of the benefits of being a leader, respecting one another, and showing
good sportsmanship. With that being said, I believe that this is the time more
than ever to push moral development in schools.
Moral
development should be completed to the furthest extent. Whether it is in classrooms
or during a game, teachers should make sure students say thank you, you're
welcome, excuse me, sorry, and good game. Emphasize that being a leader is not just
about being called team captain. It is
being able to lead your team and be a role model. Team captains should be the
most morally sound and show the most respect and sportsmanship.
I agree that moral development should be completed to its furthest extent. What better way to implement moral education than through physical education. Younger generations today tend to work more efficiently in groups than an individual basis which is one reason PE is good at developing morality. Everyone wants to be a leader today but many do not know that it's more than just performing out on the playing field. All in all it's about how you control yourself that develops the character inside you so its up to our generation to continue to push PE.
ReplyDeleteI cant agree more. Many people want to be leaders but lack the know how. They do not know how to relay positive play and guide their team. Moral development in physical education teaches them that at a young age. The kids have to work together and give ideas, and eventually one will take the lead on a direction, t achieve a goal.
DeleteMoral development focuses on the emergence, change, and understanding of morality from infancy through adulthood. In the field of moral development, morality is defined as principles for how individuals ought to treat one another, with respect to justice, others’ welfare, and rights. Physical education can help promote these attributives In order to investigate how individuals understand morality, it is essential to measure their beliefs, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors that contribute to moral understanding. This is a great opinion you have wrote about.
