SHA4322 - Physical Education 2

Objectives:

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of key principles relating to the teaching process and their impact on learning.
Evaluate the impact of model-based approaches within Physical Education.
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of how scientific principles impact on effective movement and performance.

Content:

In relation to the teaching process, students will develop their understanding of Models-Based practice within Physical Education and Sport. Application of the different curriculum models (e.g. Teaching Games for Understanding, Sport Education, Cooperative Learning) will be enhanced through practical application in relation to the planning and delivery of Games in the curriculum. The structural form of the human body and its components including musculature, skeletal form, systems and processes. The way in which physiological systems, bones and muscles work together to produce movement and the various ways in which the body produces energy to fuel this movement. Biomechanical principles that relate to the context of Games.

Learning and Teaching Information:

The teaching methods will include lectures, workshops and practical sessions. The integration of these three learning environments will facilitate dissemination of underpinning theory, group-based and student led learning and also the application of this learning within a teaching (practical) environment. The practical sessions will allow students to develop self and peer assessment skills and develop pedagogical awareness in preparation for potential future employment.

Further details relating to assessment
Directed activities: these consist of weekly tasks that must be completed and submitted for inspection at timetabled sessions each week. The assessment will be assessed on a pass/fail basis with a pass requiring at least 75% of all weekly tasks to be completed successfully. A pass will lead to the full award of 10% towards the final module mark. A fail in directed activities will contribute 0% to the final mark.

Formative feedback will be given in relation to both the exam and practical assessment. This will be developed through peer assessment and verbal feedback given within workshops and practicals.

The exam component will assess understanding of physiological and biomechanical principles.

The presentation will allow the student to justify and explain the activities used to achieve specified learning within their lesson plan and clarify issues around safety and inclusion.

Assessment:

001 Directed activities; throughout term 2 10%
002 Exam; 1 hour; end of term 2 40%
003 Coursework - Planning Presentation; 10 mins; end of term 2 50%
