This module aims for students to develop an understanding of how to implement a non- linear pedagogy to improve motor skills during physical education lessons. This will be based upon a dynamical systems framework and include a constraints based approach to teaching.

Outline Syllabus:Non-linear pedagogy approach to physical education underpinned by dynamical systems theoretical framework; Representative learning design and constraints based teaching; Motivational and emotional impact of non- linear pedagogy on children’s development.

Module Overview:
This module aims for you to develop an understanding of how to implement a non-linear pedagogy to improve motor skills during physical education lessons. This is based upon a dynamical systems framework and includes a constraints based approach to teaching.

Additional Information:This module will allow individuals to implement a non- linear PE pedagogy to improve motor skills competence in all children during physical education. In addition, this module will develop an understanding of best methods to measure motor skill competence during physical education. Finally, this module will allow individuals the opportunity to critically evaluate the impact of their teaching on children’s motor competence. This module is a progression from the core module 4303SSLN Skill Acquisition 1 at Level 4. In acknowledgement of an explanation of how the paired assessment would be managed each student would be required to contribute equal weighing to the assessment process (i.e. and agree to this in a signed agreement form) and that equal marks would be awarded unless there was demonstrable evidence submitted before the assessment date to suggest otherwise – this would be made clear to the students with the module and module guide.
