MAPEH, which stands for music, arts, physical education, and health, has great importance in everyday life. At the very least, music and arts provide an outlet for relaxation. Physical education teaches the importance of keeping the body active and moving.Â
Music is a form of art that uses sound organised in time. Music is also a form of entertainment that puts sounds together in a way that people like, find interesting or dance to. Most music includes people singing with their voices or playing musical instruments, such as the piano, guitar, drums or violin.
Art is a diverse range of human activity, and resulting product, that involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas.
Physical education provides cognitive content and instruction designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors for physical activity and physical fitness.
Health focuses on the physical, mental, emotional, social, moral, spiritual dimensions of holistic health. It enables students to acquire essential knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to promote good nutrition, prevent and control disease and substance misuse and abuse.
Regular attendance fosters a classroom community between teachers and children. Students who attend school are more likely to succeed academically. Students gain background knowledge from discussions while learning in school. Attending school also provides time for social interactions with peers.
