Principles and bases of curriculum change

Correct answer: A. Students' needs, health goals and social change

The governing concept is that curriculum change should be purposeful, evidence-informed and responsive to learners and society. A physical education curriculum must consider students’ age, abilities, interests, safety and health needs, while also responding to social changes, new knowledge, inclusion and changing patterns of physical activity. Option A is correct because it combines learner needs, health objectives and social development, which are educationally relevant bases for revision. Option B gives excessive importance to one teacher’s preference and may ignore learners and evidence. Option C concerns appearance rather than curriculum purpose, and option D is an administrative issue that cannot define educational content or aims.
