Why are the objectives needed in physical education and sport.

 

Physical educators must have goals for their programs. Once the program’s goals have been identified, objectives that will lead to the attainment of the goals should be delineated and clearly defined. Whether a physical educator is working as an elementary school teacher, an intercollegiate coach, an athletic trainer in a sports medicine clinic, an exercise leader in a corporate or cardiac fitness program, or a practitioner in any setting, relevant objectives are needed. Some reasons for their necessity follow:

1. Objectives will provide a guide for physical educators’ efforts.

2. Objectives will help physical educators better understand the worth of their field.

3. Objectives will help physical educators make more meaningful decisions when issues and problems arise.

4. Objectives will help physical educators better interpret their endeavors to the public.

5. Objectives will help physical educators to know and to appreciate the outcomes participants will achieve through involvement in a sound program under their direction.

OBJECTIVES FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT Objectives are goals that can be realized from participation in carefully planned physical education and sport programs under qualified leadership. Objectives can assist the physical educator to better understand the goals toward which participants in the program are striving, to understand better the worth of the field, to make decisions, and to better interpret this field of endeavor to the public. Traditionally, objectives have been defined for schools and the school-aged population. Now they must consider participation in exercise programs of people of all ages and segments of society. While it is important to have objectives, it is equally as important to measure and evaluate the extent to which they have been attained. Numerous tests to measure the various physical education and sport objectives have been developed. Evaluation of the test results provides information that can be used to improve the conduct of the program.
