This article introduces a teaching and assessment tool called a content map, which allows teacher educators, teachers, and coaches to conceptualize the scope, sequence, and relational characteristics of the content being taught. Content maps emphasize specialized content knowledge by organizing and sequencing the instructional tasks. Content maps have a variety of uses in supporting the professional development of teachers, including serving as a tool that allows teachers to define the content to be taught in an instructional unit, a teaching tool that can be used to teach content knowledge, and an assessment tool to assess the content knowledge of preservice and inservice teachers.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"151 1","pages":"38 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79511774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many educators assume that students develop appropriate social skills as a byproduct of participating in physical education and sport. However, the physical education literature shows that appropriate social behaviors improve when interventions are implemented. The purpose of this article is to provide physical educators with an instructional tool called “Appropriate Sports and Games Behaviors Curriculum.” This curriculum aims to enhance the development of appropriate behaviors by teaching sport- and game-oriented social skills to students with all ability levels. This curriculum consists of three units: (1) appropriate behaviors to winning, (2) appropriate behaviors to losing, and (3) appropriate behaviors during the game. Each unit highlights five different social skills. A seven-step lesson plan for teaching the skills is also provided.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"52 1","pages":"13 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78632999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Video recordings of teaching incidents inspire the reflective practice in preservice teachers by allowing them to analyze instruction and view teaching in an objective light. As an extension of video recording, video editing has become a powerful tool for creating teaching vignettes that communicate students' growth as professionals. This article presents a specific pre and post video editing assignment used to promote the reflective practice during a pedagogy skills course within a teacher education program. This assignment enables preservice teachers to record, identify, isolate, edit, and reflect on preferred pedagogical practices (PPPs) of teaching in order to illustrate their growth as teachers over the course of a semester. This type of assignment results in the recognition and representation of key PPPs to foster deep, critical reflection among preservice teachers, which helps to improve their overall teaching practice.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"89 1","pages":"14 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74168786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
