Ethics

What it could look like:

• Demonstrating fair play
• Showing sportsmanship in competitive situations
• Including others in games and activities
• Using appropriate language as a participant and spectator

Pre-foundational - Stage 0

I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity.  At this stage I have not developed the ability to interact effectively with others.

Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1

Explores and establishes understanding of fundamental ethical concepts related to movement and physical activity.

• Developing concepts of fair play
• Including others in group activities

Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2

Understands and explains ethical considerations, developing own moral principles as they relate to movement and physical activity.

• Identifying and acknowledging fairness and inclusion
• Respecting the decision of group members, coaches and officials

Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3

Analyses and demonstrates ethical considerations, underpinned by moral principles, in relation to movement and physical activity.

• Modifying an activity to allow for inclusion of others
• Maintaining fair play in competitive scenarios without an official
• Demonstrating and advocating appropriate bystander behaviour

Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4

I am empowered by movement and physical activity. I continually transfer my skills, knowledge and feelings to different movement and physical activity contexts. I use combinations of elements from all four domains, and apply my learnings through movement and physical activity to other aspects of my life.

• Moving to a new community and having the confidence to join a new group/club (e.g. tennis, parkrun) with the purpose of building new relationships. You select this particular group/club as you have previously enjoyed similar sports/activities (e.g. badminton, athletics), and feel you have already developed the knowledge and physical competency required to progress in the group/club.
