Dance Unit with Physical Literacy

Abstract

The concept of literacy includes components of knowledge, thinking, communication and application, while the concept of physical literacy includes physical, affective and cognitive competencies that are linked to the development of the whole per son in physical, emotional and cognitive domains of a human. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the levels of responses to the multiple choice test questions by using Bloom's Taxonomy in a seventh grade physical education dance class which was taught with physical literacy perspective. The research was designed as an action research. For this purpose, exam papers including multiple choice items and students reflections were used as data collection tools. Results indicated although students would be able to correctly answer the questions mostly in “knowledge” and “analysis” level, they were struggled to answer the questions in “synthesis” level.
