Browse Hierarchy SPOR4001: Sport Pedagogy

This mainly theoretical module builds the foundations for all work within the field. It examines the principles of learner centred coaching and teaching and expands on traditional conceptualisations of pedagogy, encouraging students to view coaching as a profession with the primary goal of holistic education. The module examines traditionally accepted pedagogic approaches and challenges many of the key assumptions relating to pedagogy that are associated with sports coaching. Students completing this module will have been given the opportunity to: attend lectures and seminars, work individually on independent study, work in groups to present information, develop research skills, engage in class debates and engage in practical sessions to observe theory in action.
