1. Introduction
The teaching of Physical Education (PE) is essential for the holistic development of students,
encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. In Grade 3, students are at a
critical stage of developing motor skills, teamwork, and self-confidence. Traditional teaching
methods, often focused on drills and theoretical assessments, may not fully engage students or
students can demonstrate their learning through tangible outputs, fostering a deeper
understanding and practical application of skills. This study aims to develop and evaluate
performance tasks tailored for Grade 3 PE, aligned with educational standards and
developmental needs.
2. How can an output-based strategy enhance student engagement and skill acquisition in
PE?
3. What performance tasks can be developed to align with the competencies of Grade 3
Physical Education?
4. How effective are the proposed performance tasks in achieving the learning objectives of
PE for Grade 3?
This study is anchored on Constructivist Learning Theory, which posits that learners actively
construct knowledge through experiences. In PE, performance tasks provide opportunities for
experiential learning, enabling students to build skills through practice and reflection.
Additionally, Bloom’s Taxonomy supports the design of tasks that progress from basic motor
The conceptual framework centers on the relationship between an output-based teaching strategy
and student outcomes in Physical Education. The independent variable is the output-based
strategy, while the dependent variable includes student engagement, skill acquisition, and
performance in PE. Mediating factors such as teacher facilitation, resources, and student
understanding of PE concepts.
This study focuses on developing and evaluating performance tasks for Grade 3 Physical
Education. It is limited to competencies outlined in the curriculum standards for Grade 3 and
does not cover other grade levels or subjects. The implementation and evaluation will be

a. Related Literature
This section will explore theoretical and practical foundations related to output-based teaching
b. Related Studies
This section will review empirical studies that evaluate the effectiveness of output-based
strategies and performance tasks in education. Specific attention will be given to research
3. Methodology
a. Research Design
The study will utilize a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative
methods to develop and evaluate the performance tasks. The developmental research design will
guide the creation and refinement of tasks, while a quasi-experimental design will assess their
effectiveness.
schools will be chosen based on their willingness to participate and alignment with the study’s
objectives.
Participants will include Grade 3 students and their PE teachers. Purposive sampling will be
employed to ensure the inclusion of schools with varying resources and contexts.
d. Research Instrument
3. Pre- and post-assessment tools to measure student skill acquisition and engagement.
The instruments will be validated by a panel of experts in Physical Education and educational
research. A pilot study will be conducted to refine the performance tasks and assessment tools
based on feedback.
1. Development Phase:
3. Evaluation Phase:
Quantitative data will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean,
standard deviation, and paired t-tests to compare pre- and post-assessment results. Qualitative
data from surveys and interviews will be analyzed thematically to capture user experiences and
perceptions.
