What are the modern concepts of physical education

Answer 1

Answer:

Modern Concept of Physical Education:

  Physical education in its modern concept is broader and more meaningful. There is no doubt that it is condu­cive to build up organic health but it is helpful in develop­ing mental and emotional health and social qualities that are considered to be desirable by the society. It provides that much of energy which is so very necessary for every person to withstand the wear and tear of the struggle for existence.

Physical education is not confined to some forms of drill and regular exercises, but emphasizes on the physi­cal fitness value. Physical development and mental development are inter-related and go together. Locke emphasized, “A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full des­cription of a happy state in the world’.

Kilpatrick has detained it as “A way of education through motor activity and related experiences and its subject matter is primarily ways of behaving”. The capable and intelligent leadership during play periods can guide and help children to develop desirable way of behaving towards their team mates, oppo­nents, officials, spectators and in regard to the solution of problems that arise during games and intelligent decision based on reason rather than on prejudices and emotions.

According to Modular Commission, “Physical education is not more drill or a series of regulated exercises. It includes all forms of physical activities and games which promote the development of body and mind”, Kothari Commission opined, “Physical education contributes not only to the physical fitness but also to physical efficiency, mental alertness and the development of certain qualities like per­severance, team spirit, leadership, discipline tolerance, obedience to rules, moderation in victory and balance in defeat”. Physical education is considered as that part of all education which proceeds predominantly through physical activity.

 

However, physical education is complete educative process and not mere exercise and perspiration properly planned and conducted; it has a legitimate claim for inclu­sion in the general scheme of education.
