Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.
This module aims to develop knowledge of sport and exercise psychology and how this can be used to enhance performance and well-being. This module will focus on the roles of non-psychology titled practitioners and examine how core underpinning theories can inform strategies to benefit performance and well-being taking into consideration moral and ethical considerations while cognizant of individual differences of athletes. Such topic areas will include: Motivation; confidence, self-, and collective-efficacy; arousal and anxiety; the psychology of injury; working with stakeholders and significant others (parents etc.); group dynamics and team cohesion; and sporting career transitions.

Further details relating to assessment
Negotiated assessment: working in small groups (approximately three per group with assessment weighting pro rata group size) students will be tasked with a hypothetical problem-based learning scenario. The scenario could be addressed by much of the module content causing students to prioritise and discuss the merits of their chosen theoretical underpinning and subsequent proposed solution. This is negotiated meaning the mode of assessment can be discussed and agreed between the module tutor and students. Students may wish to complete a written piece (i.e. essay, intervention plan) or a presentation.
