Uganda Senior Three Physical Education Curriculum
The Senior Three Physical Education curriculum in Uganda is part of the revised Lower Secondary Curriculum. It aims to develop physically literate individuals equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to engage in lifelong physical activity. The curriculum emphasizes a shift from knowledge-based learning to a competency-based approach. This means students are expected not only to acquire knowledge but also to apply it practically. Learning outcomes are designed to provide students with opportunities to develop understanding and skills across various topics.
Key resources for this curriculum include the learner's book and teacher's guide published by Longhorn Publishers. These resources are aligned with the Ministry of Education and Sports guidelines and comprehensively cover the learning outcomes for Senior Three. The syllabus covers a range of topics, including:
- Movement Concepts and Educational Gymnastics: This topic focuses on fundamental movement skills and basic gymnastics techniques.
- Exercise, Rest, and Sleep: This area emphasizes the importance of physical activity, recovery, and adequate sleep for overall health and well-being.
