Abstract

Physical education is a lifelong learning process, its way of teaching and learning keeps on changing with the passing times just like the images keep changing in a kaleidoscope. This is mainly because physical education is such a vast field � a science and an art. Experimentation in its scientific aspects and finer detailing in its techniques is always being researched for the betterment of the teaching learning process. The main objective of this article is to bring to light the ways in which the pattern of teaching and learning physical education has changed with the growing times. Nowadays curricula have turned inquiry based where the spoon feeding method like the teacher demonstrates and the student merely imitates is becoming redundant. The teacher�s role is turning into a facilitator as the learners are becoming more technically sound. The pattern of physical education in international schools is taking the phase of inquiry based learning. Just as all other subjects of study are taking an approach of beyond the classrooms, Physical education which is a doing phenomenon � is moving towards research and application of the mind and body dynamics beyond the playground.
