We will be talking about sports and physical education (P.E.) in the next class. In Australia, the government set up a group of educational programs called SEDA (Sports Education and Development Australia) to help students who do not do well in a traditional school environment. The programs teach them real skills to prepare them for working in the sports and recreation industry when they graduate. Watch this VIDEO about SEDA and in the comments, tell us about something interesting you saw/heard.
The programs offer students that not only having variety of sport classes but also support them to involve in coaching, exercise Science, event Management, sports administration and career planning etc. I think those programs will make them have more challenges and motivation to do other things.

The students in the Video look very happy, they are always smiling. The smile also affects my feeling. This program offers students challenging and interesting cucurriculum, and one of the merits of this program is that the students have the opportunity to link with major sporting organizations(AFL Victoria,Life saving Victoria...).I think it is excellent practical experience.

I feel it is good thing that Australian government set up a group of educational programs like SEDA for students who do not do well in a traditional school environment. If they continue to stay at the school which they feel unsuitable, their growth are prevented. One can grow on the condition that one stay the place where they feel suitable.

I think this program is good for students who do not do well in a traditional school environment because they can get confidence through the activity. They looks really happy.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is a school like this in Japan.

Every students seemed to enjoy the class. It is good to do sports to improve communication skills and also good for the health.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a very good method.I wondered how many schools accept this system.
Shoko
Not all the students can adapt to traditional school, so it's good to have a new type of school like SEDA. If someone do not well in classes but they are good at sports, it's very good opportunity for them to study at SEDA.
ReplyDeleteYukari
I think it's really interesting that there students with different backgrounds but having same interest in sports learn together.
ReplyDeleteAlso, during the video elderly student tought young students how to play with the ball and so on. I think it's good situation that studants can communicate with each other no matter how old they are. It can help to become well-integrating person in the society.

I think SEDA is great because it’s a better way for young students to devote their energy to sports than sit down and listen to boring classes. Also, students who have various backgrounds can cooperate with each other and improve their communication skills through sports. I’m so interested in this curriculum!

I think it is interesting that it is the government that set up this program for the students in Australia.
ReplyDeleteThere are universities like JWCPE (Japan Women's College of Physical Education) and Nittai University in Japan too, but they are both private universities and I do not think they were established for any reason similar to SEDA.
Personally I wondered why it was sports that the government chose to do, as it could have been any other type of activity such as music or drama.
I guess I wondered this just because PE was my least favorite subject at school and this school probably wouldn't have helped me even if I had not done well in a traditional school.
Remi
I guess that the Government of Australia set up this program not only becouse that they want to solve the problem about the students but also because that they want Australian students shape up their body.
ReplyDeleteI heard that the percentage of fat people in Australia is the most(more than US).
Maki
The students in this video looks very happy and seem to enjoy their program.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in Melbourne Victory Talented Player Program (I found it on the homepage.)
In Japan, if students want to be a sports player, many of students go to usual high school and join a club activities. This program can make students focus on the sport, so I think it is good.
Yuna
Probably the students enjoy the classes because they like these activities. I also liked the sports and I wished all the classes were PE class.
ReplyDeleteHowever it is necessary to learn other (basic) subject because I think well-balanced person is attractive.
Megumi
Teachers say that in SEDA students learn relationship with others. I think this is so important because everybody needs social skills to live in society. I think studying is also important to live, but learning relationships is very necessary.
ReplyDeleteMamina Kanezashi
Students say that they couldn't enjoy the normal school but in SEDA they finally found their proper place. I think it is great for students to have various options of spaces to learn. However I believe that limitting your future when you're too young is not good.
ReplyDeleteAyumi
SEDA is so attractive program for students who do not do well in a traditional school environment.Through sports, students can learn the way to communication with others and get the phisical and mental strength. Every student has various characters.I think this program is one of the way to correspond their characters.
ReplyDeleteAnd I aminterested in the fact that it is the government that set up this program. I'd like to know that process,too.
Tomoko Nakamura
I think this is good program because students have some choices about their lifestyle in school.
ReplyDeleteSome people may be against this program, but it is good to be the way which is different from going to traditional school.
And, the students of this program can teach how to do some sports, I think this program has some effect about sport instructor.
Jumpei
As everybody says, every student in this video looks really happy. I think it's quite good because maybe the fisical education can influence them very easily, in good meaning.
ReplyDeleteAtsuko
I think SEDA is an effective program for all students because I'm certain that sports can help improve all kinds of neccessary skills in life. Teamwork, discipline, leadership, communication skills, sports can lead children towards a bright future.
ReplyDeleteYuto
SEDA is very good program for students who couldn't accept traditional school environment. I think each of the students show a remarkable aptitude for something, so this program has an important role to find and develop students' talent.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this program has a link to some organizations for graduates. It's great.
Kou GOSHIMA
It was interesting for me that in the video students were using ergometer that is used for training of rowing.
ReplyDeleteMisato
I think this program is very good because it gives chances and opportunities to learn sports to the students who dropped from traditional schools or the students who find no interests in P.E. class in traditional schools. It gives them future and dreams.
ReplyDeleteShiori
A student says that he's getting more confident in himeslf in the end of the vedeo. I think this program can be a really good one for students who don't do well in traditional school. Everyone has certain kind of ability. It's nice for students to be given an opportunity to exercise thier abilities like SEDA.
