Teaching Physical Education during Ramadan Observance
Alshuraymi, Ali N.; Wright, Paul M.
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v93 n3 p51-53 2022
Culturally responsive teaching is an important approach that can guide all educators in responding to their students' various cultures, needs, interests, religions, languages, abilities, and learning preferences. Doing so helps to create an inclusive environment for all students that views diversity as a strength. PE teachers, like teachers in any other subject area, should be aware of their students' different backgrounds, keep in mind that each student is unique, and make reasonable accommodations when necessary (e.g., students with disabilities, Muslim students who are fasting during Ramadan observance, international students who speak different languages). Unlike classroom teachers, PE teachers may need to make additional accommodations when a student's ability to engage in strenuous physical activity is limited. Ramadan observance is one such case, so this paper presents some tips, activities, and practical recommendations that PE teachers may wish to consider.
