THEORETICAL CLASS

In order to feel confidence with the Lesson 3, we did an activity call "Basic analysis of the mandatory curriculum in the PE area of Primary Education".

First of all, we were talking about what is a curriculum. In which appears competences, goals, objectives, evaluation criteria, methodology, contents etc.

There are three levels of curriculum design:
1. Ministry of education (Royal degree).

2. School centers. (School curricular project).
3. Teacher. (Classroom program).

Later, we did the Activity 5 in  couples. In order to do the activity we had to search in two documents the answers.  1. Framework and curricular design of Physical Education in Primary Education. 2. Royal Decree 1513/2006, December 7th, in which the minimum teachings of Primary Education are established. 

In the following link you can see the Document 1.

In the following link you can see the Document 2.

OPINION

I think that the activity call "Basic analysis of the mandatory curriculum in the PE area of Primary Education" is useful in order to understand the contents of the curriculum and the things which are integrated in the curriculum.

I learn a lot with this activity because you have to search in the whole curriculum the answered of the question. So I had to read first the curriculum and later I was searching the correct answered. 

This activity is important for future teachers because they have to know the curriculum for use it in a positive way.
