Characteristics of Learners in a Physical Education Program
The physical education curriculum spans Kindergarten to Grade 12. The Characteristics
of Development chart on page 2 describes the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual characteristics of young people aged 5 to 8, 9 to 11, 12 to 15, and 16 to 18. These qualities have been used as a reference for the development of the prescribed
learning outcomes in the Physical Education K to 12 curriculum. This chart can guide
teachers in planning and evaluating physical education.
