Which term describes knowledge and action concepts related to skillful performance, including what to do and how to do it, and includes activities such as orienteering and team building?

• A. Knowledge and Action Concepts (PE)
• B. Performance Concepts (PE)
• C. Skill Execution (PE)
• D. Tactical Knowledge (PE)

Answer: (B)

This item is about understanding and applying what to do and how to do it in real performance settings. Performance concepts in physical education combine what students know about a task with how they actually execute it, guiding skilled, purposeful action. This includes planning and decision-making as well as technique and execution, and it applies across authentic activities like orienteering, where students must read maps, choose routes, and adapt to terrain, and team-building tasks, where communication, coordination, and collaborative problem-solving are essential. Because it centers on both the knowledge behind actions and the actions themselves in varied performance contexts, this term best fits the description. The other options focus more narrowly on specific aspects (such as just execution or just strategic thinking) and don’t capture the integrated knowledge-and-action nature across diverse activities.
