Kinesiological paradigm of the curriculum in the field of physical and health education for the 21 century

Good curriculum presents the basis of the entire educational system, every field of education independently, and accordingly, the field of physical and health education. The basis to creating a good curriculum, including physical and health educational field, is in the well-stipulated conception, appropriate definition of aims and objectives and adequate determination of educational outcomes, or better yet, competencies during education. Following the above-mentioned principles in the creation of kinesiological paradigm of the curriculum for physical and health educational field, a maximum respect has been given to the achievements in kinesiological science thus far. However, it is only one of the fundamental conditions but not a guarantee that the presented scientific findings, both the ones regarding the values of this educational field, and those regarding values of individual kinesiological activities, will also be exploited in the finalisation of this significant document. All the more so, since only by ensuring efficient transfer of the afore mentioned knowledge, primarily in teaching physical and health education with more lessons per week than so far, can the necessary effects in this field of education, not only be expected, but also achieved. Naturally, this will also need to be considered in the further development of both national curriculum and physical and health education curriculum. The reason is not only that according to the number of physical and health education lessons so far, both among the neighbouring countries and other European countries, Croatia has been almost at the bottom of the scale, but also primarily because the available number of lessons is not sufficient to ensure educational minimum, not to mention basic biotic needs of children and pupils. Therefore, the final solution in the creation of the curriculum in the physical and health educational field should enable children and pupils, through physical exercise, to satisfy their essential and existential needs to a maximum, especially those needs they will require for more efficient adaptation to contemporary lifestyle and work conditions, as well as readiness for work in the contemporary society.
