Course Content

This course is an introduction in how to teach movement education, where theoretical models and existing scientific research on instruction as well as practical aspects of micro-teaching are worked out. The course has the following content on instruction: components of didactics, views on learning and instructing, organisation-management-safety, observation & analyse, communication (verbal, non-verbal), demo-multimedia,evaluation & feed back, differentiation, learning strategies and teaching styles, lesson preparations (develop and evaluate), co-teaching. The students are learned to reflect on their own and others' competences in teaching (at micro-level). Moreover the MultiMove project as an good example (and evidence-based) of a broad motor learning approach is explained and for those who want to translated in practical sessions. The multidisciplinary thinking about a movement related topic is stimulated. Students physiotherapy learn more about motivational interviewing in order to promote a healthy lifestyle and help less sport active individuals to move on a regular basis.

Additional info

Some sessions are obligatory, this will be communicated on the patform. 

Arriving to late between 2' and 10' is only half presence. Being > 10' too late is the same as being absent.

Extra course material is available on the learning platform.
