Evaluation of students' dance performance provides feedback for developing skills and self-awareness. (JD)

The article describes ways in which children can develop perceptual motor coordination while engaging in activities and games wearing halloween masks with taped-over eyes. (CD)

Suggestions are made for applying research findings to the teaching of physical education. (JD)

Physical education objectives have been classified and interpreted in a variety of ways; however, new knowledge and insights make it necessary to critically analyze them and refine interpretations of their significance. (JD)

An example of a stability movement course for preschool children is presented. (JMF)

A laboratory for undergraduate physical education students was designed to apply academic theory to practical questions concerning the selection, quality, and performance of sport equipment. Various tests were conducted in an attempt to evaluate the performance of leather v synthetic basketballs. (JN)

This taxonomy should be read with Mr. Annarino's article, "Physical Education Objective; Traditional vs. Developmental," published in the October 1977 issue of "Journal of Physical Education and Recreation." (PBS)

Games must be designed to meet childrens' different developmental needs and potentials. (JD)

Instructors of professional preparation courses for teachers have too often neglected responsibility for application of theory into practice. The Basic Stuff Series is envisioned as a medium through which disciplinary scholars and professional physical education practitioners can share their expertise. (JN)

Games players need a large repertoire of movement patterns that they can use under differing conditions in the playing of games. (JD)

Practice and repetition are necessary for the acquisition of motor skills. Effective practice depends on: (1) a clearly defined goal or purpose; (2) a carefully structured, gamelike progression of practice opportunities; and (3) the provision of feedback or knowledge of the results of the motor performance. (JN)

The Basic Stuff project is an effort to include more general concepts such as the effects of exercise, the learning of a new skill, and psychological factors influencing performance. The Basic Stuff Series attempts to summarize for teachers appropriate concepts and teaching methods. (JN)

Improvisation and imagery should be used to strengthen the thin bond between creativity and motor development in children. The approach to dance as an improvisational tool should be made more concrete when working with special populations such as mentally handicapped students. (JN)

Movement programs have the potential to make a significant contribution to the goals of aesthetic education. Movement professionals must be prepared to articulate and to demonstrate physical education's contributions towards the realization of these goals. (CJ)
