In the National Curriculum Framework for School Education, 2023 how does the concept of "planning and instructions specifically relate to ensuring effective learning outcomes in physical education classes, and which of the following is NOT part of this planning process?

The National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023 emphasizes the importance of systematic planning and instruction in Physical Education (PE) to ensure that learning outcomes are developmentally appropriate, inclusive, and impactful.

Key Points

•  The idea of developing a long-term strategy that focuses solely on increasing the number of physical activities per week is not aligned with the planning process described in NCF 2023.
• While frequency of activity is one component, focusing only on the quantity of activities without addressing their quality, purpose, and inclusiveness undermines the educational intent of PE.
• Effective planning must ensure that activities are meaningful, skill-based, adapted to students' needs, and linked to defined learning outcomes. Simply increasing physical sessions without pedagogical depth does not ensure skill development or holistic growth.

Hint

• Adapting activities to meet diverse learner needs ensures inclusivity and proper engagement, which is central to effective PE.
• Warm-up and cool-down routines are crucial for injury prevention and physical well-being, making them a necessary part of planning.
• Teacher demonstrations and modelling are key instructional strategies for helping students understand techniques and movement patterns correctly.

Hence, the correct answer is Developing a comprehensive, long-term strategy that focuses solely on increasing the number of physical activities per week.
