Course Content

In this course knowledge from ‘Research Methology in Movement Sciences’, ‘Introductional statistics in movement sciences’, ‘Advanced statistics in movement sciences’ and ‘Movement and health education and promotion I’ will be used to develop a study protocol, statistical plan and measuring instruments to evaluate a health promotion intervention. Focus will be on effect-, process- as well as impact evaluation. In addition, insights will be given in new research trends in the domain of health promotion.

Learning Outcomes

ENG

Students:

-       are able to choose an appropriate research design and statistical plan to evaluate a health promotion intervention (effect-, process- and impact evaluation)

-       are able to critically reflect on the quality of a research design and statistical plan to evaluate a health promotion intervention

-       are able to develop measuring instruments to evaluate a health promotion intervention and to assess the validity and reliability of these instruments through own data collection and analysis

-       are able to critically reflect on the quality of measuring instruments to evaluate a health promotion intervention

-       have insight in new research trends in the domain of health promotion and can apply these new trends in the development and evaluation of an intervention

This course contributes to three roles of the Master of Science in Physical Education and Movement Sciences: scientist, professional innovator, promoter & adviser.

A Master of Science in Physical Education and Movement Sciences  

  1. has specialist knowledge and insight in the area of physical education, sport and movement sciences with a view to their implementation (scientist) 
  2. has an insight into current international scientific issues in the area of physical education and movement sciences (scientist) 
  3. has a 'free' inquisitive attitude, evaluates (his/her own) research results and is able to translate these to the various actors (scientist, professional innovator)
  4. is able independently to elaborate and evaluate innovative practice examples on the basis of international scientific research information (scientist)
  5. is able to collect, process and interpret both complex quantitative and/or qualitative research data in relation to a multidisciplinary research issue (scientist)
  6. is able to report, present and discuss, orally and in writing, research results with colleagues and non-colleagues in a scientifically sound manner (scientist, promoter & adviser)
  7. is able professionally to develop, plan, implement and evaluate evidence-based movement promoting initiatives among groups and individuals (scientist, promoter & adviser)
  8. is able to detect, assess and communicate new trends in physical education, movement culture and movement sciences from specialist and advanced scientific knowledge and insights (scientist, promoter & adviser, professional innovator)
  9. continues to develop him/herself (professionally, both in practice and in theory) by keeping abreast of current scientific evidence and new insights into the discipline (scientist, professional innovator, promoter & adviser)

 

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Oral Exam determines 50% of the final mark.
Practical Exam determines 50% of the final mark.

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

  • mondeling examen with a relative weight of 50 which comprises 50% of the final mark.

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

  • individuele opdracht with a relative weight of 50 which comprises 50% of the final mark.

Additional info regarding evaluation

In the first as well as the second term, the theoretical test consists of an oral exam.

100% presence is requested for the practical exercises. In case of authorized absence, the practical exercise needs to be overtaken before the start of the exam period. Missing any practical exercise will result in 0/20 as final score for the practical exercises.

Both parts (theoretical exam and practical exercises) count for 50% of the ECTS credits. For both parts a minimum of 10/20 is required. If not, the lowest score will be applied as final score. A part for which at least 10/20 was earned can be transferred from 1st to 2nd exam session.

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