Research in Physical Education and Sports

The course will provide a theoretical and practical introduction to how to design good evaluation tools and further develop your own teaching. Based on relevant theory, empirical data and experience-based knowledge, as well as competence goals, students must plan, implement and evaluate their own teaching plans in physical education or sports. The subject will have a link to practice 3 (PPU4613).

Knowledge objectives - The student will have:

• insight into theoretical and empirical perspectives that can contribute to understanding the field of practice and how one's own assumptions affect the performance of the teaching role
• practical and theoretical insight into evaluation work.
• insight into the use of different methods in connection with formative assessment and evaluation of teaching

Skills objectives - The student shall be able to:

• analyze how previous experiences and preconceptions of physical education and sports subjects influence their own teaching practice
• plan and carry out teaching programs in physical education or sports.
• design tools for evaluation, and then evaluate their own teaching.
• discuss how own teaching can be developed or changed to meet the students' requirements

2 hours of lectures and group discussion every week. Certain weeks are reserved for writing the assignment/paper.

In the assignment, the student shall plan, implement and discuss current teaching plans in physical education or sports subjects based on theoretical perspectives.
