Additional info

The specific content of this course demands sufficient attendance to learn the practical aspects of each sport and to be able, in a later phase, guide the learning process.

If students are between 2 and 10 minutes too late, it will be considered as a 1/2 attendance. More than 10 minutes (5' in swimming) too late will be considered as (legal or not legal) absence.

A student can only participate in the exams only with enough attendances in the specific sports discipline:
A sport which is been given once a week during 1 semester: the student is allowed to be illegally absent 2 times;
A sport which is been given twice a week during 1 semester: the student is allowed to be illegally absent 4 times;
A sport which is been given once a week during 2 semesters: the student is allowed to be illegally absent 4 times;
Etc.

Extra course material, supplementary to the obliged course material, can be made available on the learning platform or other electronic carriers.

Learning Outcomes

General competencies

The student has knowledge of:
- the basic rules of the sport and principles of teaching games (if applicable)
- the basic and advanced techniques
- basic principles and methodology of a video-based movement analysis/evaluation 
- meanings/functions of certain domains of movement education in society
- advanced motor capacities: eye-hand-ball co-ordination and eye-hand -foot co-ordination
- physical condition: aerobic and anaerobic endurance, speed, strength, speed strength, flexibility, co-ordination and reaction time
- methodological approaches of techniques (global detection of errors and feed back), tactics, motor capacities and physical condition
- didactical principles applied to the specific domain of movement education

The student is able to:
- demonstrate the basic and advanced techniques of the specific sport
- carry out the main tasks of video capturing and/or analysis
- demonstrate basic supporting functions (safety rules, techniques, …)
- make written notes of lessons (aims, exercises, organisation, …)
- prepare lesson plans using basics of general and specific didactic/methodic principles
- analyze errors and propose relevant feedback
- taking initiative and responsibility within movement activities
- adapt the methodic and didactic principles to different learning surroundings (materials, space, …)
- taking and giving leading in team assignments 
- incorporate general scientific knowledge (anatomy, physiology, …) in the different sports and implement this in training programs

The student has the correct attitude to:
- promote and practice a healthy and sportive lifestyle
- taking initiative and responsibility to stimulate an effective and efficient progress of the courses
- wiling to practice sports on a regular basis and maintain and improve the own basic condition
- having an open mind and an eager to learn mentality and accept criticism and corrections
- willing to learn from own mistakes, being self critical and motivated to improve the own level
- willing to share one's own specialty to help others in their learning process
- communicate in a polite appropriate way
- following agreements
- use a critical scientific mentality to constantly dare to reflect and to the acquired/used technical, tactical, methodic, didactic principles.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 25% of the final mark.
Practical Exam determines 75% of the final mark.

Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Gymnastiek with a relative weight of 37 which comprises 9.9% of the final mark.
  • Atletiek with a relative weight of 13 which comprises 3.5% of the final mark.
  • Zwemmen with a relative weight of 12 which comprises 3.2% of the final mark.
  • Dans with a relative weight of 12 which comprises 3.2% of the final mark.
  • (Groeps)fitness with a relative weight of 12 which comprises 3.2% of the final mark.
  • Init Beweganal with a relative weight of 7 which comprises 1.9% of the final mark.

Within the Practical Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Gymnastiek with a relative weight of 37 which comprises 29.8% of the final mark.
  • Atletiek with a relative weight of 13 which comprises 10.5% of the final mark.
  • Zwemmen with a relative weight of 12 which comprises 9.7% of the final mark.
  • Dans with a relative weight of 12 which comprises 9.7% of the final mark.
  • (Groeps)fitness with a relative weight of 12 which comprises 9.7% of the final mark.
  • Init Beweganal with a relative weight of 7 which comprises 5.6% of the final mark.

Additional info regarding evaluation

There are two categories in the assessment: Practice (P) at 75% and Theory (T) at 25%.

Practice: Information on the determination of the score on practice by component (sports) discipline is communicated through the learning platform.

Theory exam:

The theory associated with these different (sports) disciplines (equal to the components of the theory exam) will be taken in writing at one common time after the first semester and one common time after the second semester. The components to be known are communicated on the learning platform at the beginning of the academic year. The (sports) disciplines taken during the first period of the first term are final and will not be repeated in second semester.

When the theory examination for a particular (sports) discipline consists only of multiple-choice questions (i.e., no combination with open-ended questions), a higher caesura is applied. This will be communicated in a timely manner on the learning platform.

Total final grade:

Within each category a result is given for each of the 6 (sports) disciplines, where the % distribution per discipline depends on the number of teaching hours that were spent on those (sports) disciplines. Each partial score (= result per (sports) discipline on theory or practice) therefore has its own weighting on the final grade, which together forms a 'weighted' average.

The final grade for this course is the weighted average of all the sub-scores, unless there are deficits on the sub-scores.

Per category (Practice and Theory separately) there may not be deficits (lower than 50/100) on more than two (sports) disciplines with a max total of 10 tube points on the sub-scores.

Moreover, per category (Practice and Theory separately) there can be max 10 tube points out of 100 for all sub-scores together. If there are more than 10 points deficits in a category, the final grade is not the weighted average of the sub-scores, but the lowest result of all sub-scores.

Only the final grade is rounded and reduced to a mark out of 20.

Transferability of partial results to the 2nd session: In the 2nd session, all partial scores >= 50/100, both in theory and in practice, will be transferred automatically and, consequently, only the parts for which a score of 49/100 or less has been obtained must be retaken. Under no circumstances may a student waive the automatic transfer of partial results.

If a student does not pass this course after the second session and has to retake it in the following academic year, then for each component for which he or she has a deficit, both the practical and theoretical part must be retaken. The transfer of scores on parts (sports) disciplinary where one did have a pass for both theory and practice is done automatically, and thus does not have to be requested.

If one has too many unauthorized absences (as stipulated in the section “additional information”), one is not allowed to participate in the examination of the discipline in question, both in the first and second session. If a student is unable to participate in the examinations because of an injury, process evaluation is impossible if he/she was absent more than half of the class periods (legitimate or not). In this case, the student will receive an ‘absent’ as result.

Allowed unsatisfactory mark
The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
