Aims
- To provide students with an opportunity to develop and practice learning activities and teaching skills in a supportive atmosphere
- To explore a broad philosophy of physical education that encompasses all aspects of well-being, with a particular focus on physical, social, psychological skills and emotional health.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically appraise the role of physical education as a learning process for holistic development across the life-span of the physical education student.
2.
Demonstrate a range of teaching methodologies that promote active and differentiated learning within the organisation and management of PE
3.
Demonstrate confidence in designing and delivering effective learning opportunities for physical, social, psychological and emotional growth.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
- Development of subject knowledge in Physical Education and School Sport.
- Critical analysis and understanding of the National Curriculum for Physical Education.
- Theories of teaching and learning pedagogies in physical education.
- Feedback – provision and approaches to effective feedback in PE contexts
- Reflective practice and conceptual for reflective practice in PE
- Lesson planning and effective sequencing and progression both within, and between topics.
- Behaviour and classroom management.
- Inclusion and differentiation in physical education.
- Development and evaluation of resources.
- Assessment and recording pupils’ progress.
- Digital assessment approaches.
Module Overview:
This module encourages continuing development as physical educators and adoption of attitudes, values, and practices that will positively affect growth as a teacher over the short and long term. Understanding of principles, concepts, and skills that promote best practices, professional leadership, and critical inquiry are pursued within this module.

Additional Information:
Placement/Professional Study
The module requires a significant number of dedicated placement hours and supervised placement for successful completion. It is expected students will spend ~24 days in placement/professional studies-related activities. Estimated typical daily duration is ~4 hours, however, it can be longer or shorter, depending on arrangements with the placement provider/setting. Placement can be taken either in block or throughout duration of the term.
Portfolio:
The placement-based portfolio (3000-word equivalent) will consist of the following tasks:
Annotated Lesson Plan demonstrating differentiation of tasks for high ability students, student with SEND, students with English as an additional language (1200 words) - 40%
A Reflective Journal (4 entries- 250 words each focusing on the impact of social, emotional, cultural, and political factors on physical education -35%
A self-assessment task on development and implementation of a behaviour management strategy (800 words) -25%
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 be supported by an allocated Placement Tutor.
Note: Module duration is 4-8 months dependent upon mode of study i.e., FT or PT respectively.
