Aims
This module is designed to provide students the opportunity to develop an understanding of the multidisciplinary aspects underpinning performing sports and physical education, with particular reference to sports biochemistry, motor skills learning and control, and sports psychology. In order to fulfil the requirements of the Ministry of Education in China, students must have understanding of these underpinning processes of physical education and how to teach these in the physical education curriculum. Upon completion of this module, students will understand how each of these aspects contribute towards performance of sport and physical education.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Define and describe key components of sports biochemistry and the underlying components which contribute towards sports performance and physical education.
2.
Define and describe key components of motor skills learning and control and the underlying components which contribute towards skill acquisition, sports performance and physical education.
3.
Define and describe key components of sports psychology and the underlying components/theories which contribute towards sports performance and physical education.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Teaching and learning methods will predominantly include lectures and seminars. The taught component of the module explores a range of aspects surrounding sport and physical education. Specific examples of the aspects to be explored include:
1. Sports biochemistry – underlying aspects of sports biochemistry which underpin sporting actions. Understanding the key components (e.g. muscle metabolism) to teach physical education theory (inline with MoE requirements and the curriculum).
2. Motor skills learning and control – underlying aspects of skill acquisition and motor control which link to physically executing sporting actions. Understanding the key aspects to teach physical education theory (inline with MoE requirements and the curriculum).
3. Sports psychology – underlying aspects of sports psychology which link to sports performance and physical education. Understanding the key components to teach physical education theory (inline with MoE requirements and the curriculum).
Additional Information:This module is designed to introduce students to a of wider theoretical aspects of education that can be linked to physical education. The module will be evaluated by the completion of appropriate assessment tasks. This module will incorporate support strategies in an attempt to ensure student progression. This will include feed forward and feedback on assessment and personal tutorial support.
