1, 2 Physical Education Learning Activity Types This taxonomy of learning activity types in physical education is intended to illustrate and suggest tasks that can comprise a curriculum-based lesson, project, or unit that addresses cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning objectives. The activity types are rooted in the National Association for Sports and Physical Education ’s (NASPE, 2004) standards that assist students in building the knowledge, skills, and confidence to achieve, enjoy, and maintain a physically active and healthy lifestyle. The description of each individual activity type includes a list of possible technologies that may be used to support it. Tools such as exergames, pedometers, and heart rate monitors can provide creative ways to engage in physical activity and its monitoring (NASPE, 2009). The taxonomy incorporates physical fitness and motor skills development activities. Consequently, the two major categories in the taxonomy are physical fitness and motor skill development. Physical fitness is sub-divided into those learning activities that help students build cognitive understanding (knowledge development and application) and psychomotor development (practice and application). The motor skill development section is also subdivided into cognitive and psychomotor categories. In all, we have identified 56 distinct learning activity types within these subdivisions of physical education. Teachers should consider planning each lesson, project, or unit to include more than one activity from each of the cognitive and psychomotor tables that follow. In each of the following activity types, affective learning outcomes are linked to explicit cognitive and psychomotor goals. Whether affective learning is a component or the central focus of instruction, specific instructional s
