Concept based learning is about big transferable ideas that transcend time, place, situation. -Content just focuses on facts while concept focuses on making sense of those facts and the world around us. -Content based teaching may not get beyond information transmission/superficial learning.
I think concept based teaching is essential for student's preparedness for the world. I believe physical education is perfect for using concept based teaching. Student's not only get to learn about the importance of health which is vital to life in itself but they also get to build their character through sport games and competition. They get to improve their social skills while working in groups and on teams. Physical education provides so many avenues for concept based learning and I believe it's important that I continue to do my best to use these practices during my classes.
