Aims
- To provide an opportunity to understand curriculum concepts and investigate the extent to which personal, cultural and societal orientations and philosophies impact on curriculum.
- To develop the knowledge, understanding and skills required by teachers in secondary school settings to teach and assess Physical Education curricula and to use of PE curricula knowledge in an interdisciplinary or cross-curricula way.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Design a scheme of work that demonstrates the relationship between assessment, learning goals and learning experiences (instructional alignment), determining what is worth assessing and how this can be done in a meaningful, relevant and effective way.
2.
Critically appraise characteristics of various curriculum models, principles that determine their use, and the advantages and disadvantages of using different curriculum models in physical education

Module Overview:
This module provides an opportunity to understand curriculum concepts and investigate the extent to which personal, cultural and societal orientations and philosophies impact on curriculum. Along with understanding of the physical education curriculum within the Irish school system, international and universal models of PE and curricula will be reviewed This module also develops the knowledge, understanding and skills required by teachers in secondary and assess Physical Education curricula and to use of PE curricular knowledge in an inter-disciplinary or cross-curricular way.

Additional Information:
Mode of Study;
The module will be delivered in a blended learning mode through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities. Synchronous learning takes place online or in the classroom in real time, while asynchronous learning enables students to engage with the course content online at their own time and pace. Following an introductory synchronous lecture, the theoretical material will be accessed online asynchronously through engagement with the course notes, pre-recorded lectures, and guided reading. Reflection and discussion are key elements to teaching and learning and will be promoted through a series of participatory online workshops. All students are encouraged to take part in group activities where critical incident sharing and collective discussion of solutions will take place. The online materials will also include self-assessment exercises and reflective tasks to promote consolidation of learning and encourage real-life application of knowledge and skills. As the proposed module is at a postgraduate level, a large proportion of learning will be independent and self-directed. However, all students will have access to an allocated tutor who will be available to support them online and through video calls.While the online nature of this module will afford flexibility. It is advisable to set regular time each week to engage with the content and complete the associated tasks, participate in synchronous activities, and contribute to discussions and group activities.Regular communication with the academic staff and peers will support successful completion of the module.
Lecture Hours;
Theoretical input for students taking the course in the blended mode will consist of a 3-hour lecture and 27-hour equivalent of guided online learning.
Note: Module duration is 4-8 months dependent upon mode of study i.e., FT or PT respectively.
