Connection between Physical Education and other School Subjects in Primary School

Nedeljko Rodić ; Faculty of Education University of Novi Sad

Abstract

Due to its positive impact on the bio-psycho-social status of children, physical education is connected with applied scientific disciplines in the field of social and natural sciences. It aims to establish the regularity of connection with the appropriate educational and scientific fields and forms of education, and is thus united with school practice. In this way instructional contents become part of the connectivity criteria. Given that the primary means of physical education is physical activity, its structural elements (spatial, temporal and physiological-energy) present other criteria of connection with other school subjects. The established connection between physical education and other subjects shows that a model for integrated teaching needs to be developed. The presented models of connection allow for an integrated teaching of active, motivated and unsolicited students, who explore and conceive a comprehensive and integrated reality, capable of transferring knowledge to new thematic assemblies and experiential learning in a variety of social situations.
