Attitudes
need to be positively effected to ensure the successful and
long term outcome of Al Haraka Baraka. This will
come through a strategy that includes a combination of
actions: |
|
|
a)
Develop Awareness |
|
Help your
class become aware about how active or inactive they are.
Children should pay attention to what they do with their time.
The teaching units provide you with information and
ideas on this issue. |
|
|
b)
Set Goals |
|
Goal
setting and a regular control of outcomes is important; make
sure that you work out activity goals together with your
class. Always consider their opinion, likes and dislikes. Be
careful to set realistic and relevant goals. |
|
|
c)
Monitoring and Feedback |
|
Pupils
absorb information best when it is repeated. A subject that is
only addressed once will soon be forgotten. This is why it is
so important to keep track of your classes’ efforts. Do
frequent reviews, find out if goals have been achieved, what
experiences the children have had and provide advice. |
|
|
d)
Reward and Recognise Changes |
|
Of course
children should primarily be motivated by the fun factor and
the social benefits that a physically active lifestyle
incorporates. Nevertheless, every child likes to be praised
and will be very happy once a goal has been achieved. |
|
 |
|
|
Let your
pupils participate actively in the programme. Young people are
more motivated when they take part in the decision making
process and are not just following instructions. |
|
|
The Al
Haraka Baraka teaching units give you many ideas on
how to integrate your class, be it through discussions, role
playing, activity games or brainstorming sessions. Let your
pupils get active in groups and let them use their problem
solving skills. |
|
|
 When setting
goals, make sure that you always ask about your classes’
opinion. |
