A Holistic Approach to Teaching and Learning a Theoretical Content in Physical Education and Sports

Abstract

A holistic view of the teaching and learning of the theoretical lesson in the field of physical education and sports involves the elaboration and implementation of the integrated curriculum in the didactic process. Integration has several levels that should be tackled: mono-disciplinarity, focused on independent study subjects; multi-disciplinarity with reference to achieving an effective "correlation" of the efforts and potentialities of the various study disciplines in order to provide a more complete view over the researched subject; inter-disciplinarity, which involves an intersection of different disciplinary areas, which can lead to new study subjects. The essential objectives of curricular integration, grouped in two directions: linking different segments of study programmes and linking the learning process to concrete life situations can contribute to the acquisition and development of the professional competencies of an efficient specialist in the field.
