INTRODUCTION

Innovation is a driver of growth and well-being. New technologies, products, services and organizations create jobs and rejuvenate industries. But to reap these gains, policy makers need to understand the way we innovate is changing. This has implications on human resources and education systems as the ultimate user of the innovation is the society at large. This presents new opportunities for innovation and improvement in education systems. Technological change, which not only permits new activities but makes those new activities superior in many important ways over the previous method of operation, creates long lasting innovations in society.

Development of the world is in the need to innovate, and social progress. It is the soul of a nation's progress, an inexhaustible motivational force for national prosperity, and progress of a nation depends on it by countless individuals. Students are the future of school education and a development in students‘ awareness of innovation and innovation capability has a special status and role of the education activity course is an important way to achieve it.

Physical education is often advocated as a source of a plethora of positive developmental characteristics from early childhood, through adolescence to late teenage and now, when it is perceived to be a lifelong process. Physically, there has been an ebb and flow among the differing, sometimes the contradicting, physical education curriculum themes which include

  • Physical, educational, social control - order, discipline and obedience to authority
  • Physical fitness - labour productivity, defence and strong mothers, health - therapeutic body shape
  • Competitive performance related to sports and associated physical/motor skills development
  • Play and movement concepts
  • Personal, psychosocial, social and moral development - collectively promoting character building
  • Adventure education, individual, lifetime, or recreational activities, antidote to inactivity and sedentary lifestyle illnesses as well as an alleged obesity epidemic etc.

The perceived role of physical education has expanded as it has been granted a role in achieving broader educational objectives such as whole school improvement, community development and effecting personal behavioural and attitude change over the years. There has been a re-affirmation of its purposes for which some people have long such argued. Ostensibly as a school subject, with such broad brush scope and potential, physical education is in a relatively unique and indispensable position with some kind of responsibility in some way and somehow addressing many contemporary issues with its perceived distinctive features within the educational process with characteristics not offered by any other learning or school experience. A paradox here is the perception by many of physical education as a - so-called academic subjects and by association, inferior status of physical education teachers. Quality education is a comprehensive development of education. Sports education is for all students, assessment should also be a variety of sports, and three-dimensional. Quality education is not unmindful of the normal examination; the key is how the combination of athletic talent does not suppress health and character development, but poor students to see the progress of sports, which requires a viability, must be innovative sports at different levels of assessment and evaluation of the role students have incentive system and well-being and, more specifically, their Education is the top priority along with safety education of students. At the beginning of every class, the teacher should take advantage of the class in educating them about safety education. The dress must be sportswear with sports shoes not bringing any accessories; so as to not to cause injury in sports, the teaching process is required to comply with classroom discipline, attention to the management of sports equipment. One of the most important elements to developing and sustaining a high quality standards-based physical education program is the ongoing sustainable professional development. Time and again, physical educators are often engaged in professional development that does not address the instructional methods, strategies or content knowledge that is necessary to impact students‘ achievement within physical education. In order to address the systemic change that is necessary to continue the advancement of physical education, it is essential that physical educators are engaged in high quality and sustainable professional development. Developing a high quality, dynamic, and standards based physical education program by developing the content knowledge, instructional strategies and methods are to be created for an individualized learning environment that meets the needs of the diverse student population. Physical education is a dynamic discipline that is continuously evolving through research in kinesiology, exercise physiology, and biomechanics. To support the development of physically literate learners, educators must continuously build upon their in-depth content knowledge. Physical education serves as the foundation to promote healthful changes that reinforce the importance healthy lifestyles begin today.
