This programme examines ways in which current understanding of cognitive processes related in knowing and thinking are contributors to the process of learning. Consideration will be given to constructivist and generative approaches in learning and how schema theory facilitates the development of knowledge and problem-solving skill under the perspectives in physical education. Emphasis will also be placed on connections between such knowledge to the learning of physical activities in school. Issues of transfer of learning, creativity and facilitation of self-regulation in the learner will be examined. Pre-requisite: None
