Additional Information:
Teaching activity will be comprised of a timetabled programme of lectures, tutorials linked with this content, and also tutorials with designated work-related learning supervisors Work related learning encompasses planning and delivering educational based psychology support and can be categorised as one of the following:
External: Working on a project with a client/client group based outside of the University
Internal: Internal campus based work related learning led by a JMU member of staff
Practicum based: Working on projects staff have had prior involvement with although data/contexts are 'real'.
Observational: Shadowing and observing practice within an external setting. This may be a sport psychologist or practitioner allied to that of sport psychology.
Students are required to attend keynote lectures on professional practice and standards that help students to prepare for the planning and completion of work-related experience. As part of the module students will plan, conduct, and reflect on their practical experiences, which will typically involve 15-20 hours of self-directed/tutor led study time. Critical understanding of the theoretical and ethical issues governing sport psychology practice is assessed prior to undertaking a work-related experience, and also towards the end of the module. Prior to starting any work-related experience, students generate a plan of activities (25%) that documents the work-related learning to be conducted, aims and goals for their work-related experience, strengths and areas for development, ethical considerations, and practitioner safety. Towards the end of the module, critical understanding of the theoretical and ethical issues governing sport psychology practice is assessed with the submission of a portfolio, which will assess the products delivered in the selected work-related settings and reflective narrative on learnings (75%). Both assessments reflect future progression that are consistent with preparing for Stage 2 training.
