PEd-101: Philosophical and Socio-Anthropological Foundations of Physical Education and Sports Contemporary Trends in Physical Education and Sports Discussant/s: Petilla, Janelle Polinar, Dennis Pore, Christine Raagas, Arnest Kaye Regala, Janel Mae Rey, Jhon Nathan Romero, Robbe Angela I. ABSTRACT This report examines contemporary trends in physical education and sports, focusing on the significant shifts that are redefining the field in the 21st century. With the growing awareness of the importance of physical, mental, and social well-being, there has been a notable shift towards more holistic approaches to physical education. These trends include the integration of technology, the emphasis on inclusive practices, and the promotion of lifelong fitness habits. Additionally, the report discusses how these trends are influencing educational policies, curriculum development, and community involvement in sports. II. INTRODUCTION As our world changes, so do our ideas about what it means to be healthy and active. Physical education and sports have always played an essential role in our lives, but today, they are more important than ever. We’re seeing exciting new trends that are reshaping how we think about physical activity, not just in schools but in our communities as well. These trends are driven by a deeper understanding of how staying active affects not just our bodies, but our minds and relationships too. This report takes a closer look at the current trends in physical education and sports. We’ll explore how these changes are impacting students, educators, and communities, and why they matter. By diving into these trends, we can better understand how physical education is evolving and what that means for the future of our health and well-being. III. BODY In today’s digital age, the swift dissemination of information through various platforms enables individuals to stay informed about the latest trends. This constant connectivity facilitates the rapid identification and adoption of new trends in physical education. By integrating technology, we can develop engaging and innovative lessons that effectively encourage today’s youth to adopt healthier and more active lifestyles. The current trends in physical education, as outlined by Hiveclass, include gamification, virtual physical education (P.E.), inclusive P.E., cross-curricular integration, and mindfulness and mental health. Gamification is one of the most dynamic trends in physical education. By incorporating game elements into lessons, it transforms traditional exercises into engaging challenges and competitions, thereby enhancing student motivation and participation. Virtual P.E. utilizes technology to deliver physical education lessons in remote or online learning environments. This approach ensures that students who are unable to attend in-person classes can still receive quality physical education instruction. Inclusive P.E. focuses on accommodating the diverse needs and abilities of all students, ensuring full participation and success. Teachers adapt activities and provide necessary accommodations to create an environment where students of varying physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities can engage equally. Cross-Curricular Integration enriches physical education by integrating concepts from other subjects such as science, math, and history. For example, students might apply principles of physics to sports, measure distances and angles during activities, or explore the historical origins of different sports, thereby creating a comprehensive learning experience. Mindfulness and Mental Health practices are also increasingly incorporated into physical education. Techniques such as deep breathing and guided meditation help students manage stress and improve focus. By addressing mental health alongside physical fitness, this approach fosters emotional resilience and overall well-being, promoting a balanced development of both physical and mental health. These trends collectively contribute to a more holistic and engaging physical education experience, addressing both the physical and emotional needs of students. IV. CONCLUSIONS In our profession we should follow the concept of 3 ‘D’ Discipline, Dedication & Determination. Young people are the real wealth of the nation. No programmed is successful without the participation of youth. Therefore, to enable an individual to lead happy, enjoyable and healthy life as a member of society, he/she should regularly engage in games and sports and different exercise programmers to ensure development of Physical Fitness and learn skills in sports and games, which have a carryover value. Society on the other hand should provide enough opportunities to its members so that they may engage themselves in activities of their own choice and thus develop or maintain the level of Physical Fitness. Unless there is improvement in the ‘General Standard of Health’, excellence in sports cannot improve. Physical Education and Sports activities in educational institution. V.

Salceda, Janil A. Saldevia, Janica Salorio, Albert Salubon, Jessica Sapinet, Anne Chess Objectives 1. Finding the role of Gender, Diverse and Inclusion in Physical Education and Sports, 2. Determine the challenges faced in Physical Education and Sports, and 3. Explaining the importance and benefits of each. Introduction The abstract looks at how PE and sports can be fair for everyone, touching on gender, diversity, and inclusion. It talks about how girls sometimes don't get the same chances as boys in sports and how people from different backgrounds might feel left out. It emphasizes the need to break stereotypes and create inclusive spaces that welcome everyone, no matter their race, ethnicity, income, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or religion. The importance of making sports accessible, being sensitive to different cultures, and ensuring safe environments is highlighted.("Diversity and Inclusion in Sport and Exercise." Human Kinetics, 2021.) Main body of report Post pubescent males outperform females in strength, power, and speed sports due to their physical characteristics. They are taller, have longer limbs, have more muscle mass, and have less body fat. Male athletes also develop larger skeletal muscles, hearts, lungs, and red blood cells, providing an aerobic advantage. Biological sex determines the activities they engage in (and not engage in), as well as the manner in which they are treated in these activities. Sports are generally considered  a masculine domain, and this stereotype results in boys’ perceiving greater ability and attaching greater importance to sport than girls. This contributes to the gender differences observed in sport.(2024, Human Kenetics) In being physically active, gender is one of the basis when it comes to sport and physical education. Males develops larger skeletal muscles and more active because sports are generally considered a masculine domain, while females are prohibited in being physically active because “girls are too weak” since females don’t have enough strength to be stronger than the males one. Our new generation needs to expand the support for females sports collaborative organization, use of media to influence and be the voice of the female’s athletes, take action, and demonstrate female’s leadership in being physically active with these actions it will help increase the visibility of females in sports. Diversity in sport involves involving people from diverse backgrounds, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, and abilities. The goal is not just token representation, but to celebrate and leverage human differences. According to the Oxford English Dictionary. In PE and sports means celebrating the differences that make us unique and creating an environment where everyone can participate, learn, and grow. Physical education (PE) is a field of study and practice that promotes physical activity, health, and wellbeing through the implementation of movement-based curricula. It is often taught to children and adolescents in educational settings but can also be applied to people of all age groups. (source – Capn Pete’s Power PE) Inclusion in physical education and sports goes beyond representation. It involves creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, respected, and valued, and where diverse voices are not just present, but heard.Creating an environment where everyone, regardless of their abilities, backgrounds, or identities, feels welcome, respected, and empowered to participate. It’s about recognizing and celebrating the unique strengths and differences that make each individual valuable. (source -CDC Healthy Schools) CONCLUSION Gender, Diversity and Inclusion and Physical Education and Sports, plays a big role in having unity in sports. Conquering our internal biases allows us to get away from societal and social “norms” that have been driven into our heads to classify individuals we come into contact with or may not understand a lot about.It creates a more inclusive environment that encourages people from different backgrounds to participate and compete at all levels.Classification doesn’t matter in being physically active, enhancing everyones capabilities in sports. References : Human Kinetics: The text you quoted likely comes from a publication by Human Kinetics, a leading publisher in sports and exercise science.

Palamos, Antonio Jr., B. Parba, Janna Ella R. Pelicano, Shane Perona, Karylle Ann M. I. ABSTRACT: This written report explores the critical role of ethics and values in physical education and sports. It highlights the importance of sportsmanship, ethical principles, and the values embodied in the Olympic movement. The discussion covers key components such as fairness, integrity, responsibility, and respect, emphasizing their significance in shaping character and promoting a positive sporting environment. Additionally, the report underscores the role of educators, coaches, and parents in fostering these values in young athletes. II. INTRODUCTION: In order to create a healthy sports environment, ethics in physical education and sports must incorporate values like fairness, respect, and integrity. In order to ensure that events are held on an equitable playing field, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) claims that encouraging moral behavior in sports aids in the prevention of problems like doping and corruption (Philippine Sports Commission, 2021). Values such as discipline, perseverance, and sportsmanship are deeply ingrained in the Filipino culture and are crucial in shaping the approach to physical education and sports (Gonzales, 2022). These values not only contribute to individual growth but also enhance team dynamics and national representation in international arenas. For instance, the practice of “bayanihan” or communal unity, often reflected in sports team dynamics, underscores the importance of working together towards common goals and upholding the spirit of cooperation (De Vera, 2020). Hence, by incorporating moral and ethical education into practical programs, athletes and students are guaranteed to comprehend the wider consequences of their decisions, in the classroom as well as the field. It is in according to the Department of Education’s curriculum focus on character development, which attempts to develop not just professional athletes but also responsible citizens (Department of Education, 2023). To account it all, sports and physical education cultures are primarily determined by ethics and values. They set rules for conduct, encourage sportsmanship, and guarantee that participation is courteous and inclusive. III. BODY: Concept of Sportsmanship A key idea in athletics, sportsmanship places an importance on fairness, morality, and ethical conduct. It is more important to consider how the game is played and how players behave when they are on the field than it is centered only on winning or losing. A "good sport" is someone who respects opponents, referees, and the game's regulations and follows to the values of sportsmanship. In sports, where the value is on respect for one another and the joy of involvement, this mindset contributes to the development of a good and welcoming environment. Ethics in Sports Ethics and sports are the moral principles that govern the conduct of athletes, coaches, and officials. Four key ethics in sports are fairness, integrity, responsibility, and respect. Fairness involves following the rules of the game and ensuring that they are applied equally to all participants. Integrity is about maintaining honesty and fairness, even in the face of competition. Responsibility refers to the accountability of athletes and coaches for their actions, both on and off the field. Respect is about showing consideration for others, including opponents, teammates, and officials. Olympic Values The Olympic movement is built on three core values: excellence, respect, and friendship. These values guide the behavior of athletes and serve as a reminder for their actions. Excellence involves striving to give one’s best effort in every endeavor, whether on the field or in other areas of life. Respect includes respecting oneself, others, and the environment. Friendship is about fostering mutual understanding and camaraderie among athletes from different backgrounds and cultures. Challenges in Upholding Ethics and Values There are several obstacles in the way of upholding ethical and moral conduct in sports and physical education. Due to financial incentives and media attention, there is a great deal of pressure to win, which can result in unethical behavior like doping and disrespectful behavior. Inadequate instruction and training regarding moral principles might lead to unintentional offenses and misconceptions about appropriate conduct. Ethical norms are made worse by corruption and misuse of power, such as manipulation of matches and maltreatment. Furthermore, cultural and social variances can lead to distinct opinions of what ethical behavior is, which makes it challenging to uphold the same standards in a variety of situations. IV. CONCLUSION: Ethics and values have a significant impact on the character and behavior of individuals in physical education and sports. They ensure that sports are performed fairly, respectfully, and responsibly, creating a setting in which all participants can do well. Athletes are guided by the concepts of sportsmanship and Olympic values, which encourage them to strive for excellence while retaining respect and integrity for others. By developing these principles in young athletes, educators, coaches, and parents can assist in building a more ethical and engaging physical education and sports experience. V. RECOMMENDATIONS: In the context of physical education and sports, developing a strong ethical framework and upholding basic principles are crucial to producing not only morally acceptable individuals but also competent athletes. It is ensured that competition does not become an avenue for dishonesty or abuse, but rather a means of personal and societal growth, by placing a burden on integrity, respect, and fairness. In alongside practicing moral behavior, coaches and educators should impart values that go beyond the playing field and support children' general development, such as perseverance, empathy, and teamwork. The sports community can promote an environment where accomplishments are celebrated with humbleness, difficulties are met with resilience, and the true essence of sport as an useful force for social and personal growth is preserved by recognizing ethical considerations and values.
