Physical Education for Teachers I: Older Children
30.0 ECTS creditsModule 1. Sport, Health, Outdoor Activities, 7.5 credits
In this module, the students will learn to analyse the phenomenon of sport from a cross-disciplinary perspective. The module will look at the history and development of sports in school and society. The module will discuss various theories of health. The module also includes outdoor activities away from home.
Module 2. Sport Science, Leadership and Learning I, 7.5 credits
In this module, the students will develop their knowledge of relevant theories of teaching methodology. There will be a discussion of the perceptual and motor development of children. The students will also take active part in various forms of dancing, games, sports, and outdoor activities and relate these sporting activities to the school subject Physical Education. The module also includes winter activities away from home.
Module 3. Teaching Practice I, 7.5 credits
In this module, the students continue to develop their pedagogical knowledge and skills through a close collboration with teachers in the field. During the teacher training period, the students will get practical experience in teaching Phsyical Education in school. In addition, the students will learn about the role of the sports teacher in school, through a study of relevant literature and through field studies.
Module 4. Sport Science from the Perspective of Human Biology, 7.5 credits
The aim of this module is that the students should acquire knowledge of the anatomical structure and physiological functions of the human body. Biomechanics and the science of movement will be studied, with special emphasis on the sporting activities of children and young people. The module will also look at ergonomics with special emphasis on health and movement patterns and with the aim of preventing injuries. Basic athletics studies will also be covered in theory and practice.
Instruction is in the form of lectures, group work, seminar discussions on the course reading material, and practical presentations of teaching methods in various physical activities. Theory and practice are integral parts of all modules. Active participation in all course components is required.
