Semester 2

Organiser: Mr Gethin Thomas

This module aims to evaluate and develop your understanding of Pedagogical approaches relevant to inclusive Physical Education that contributes to the development of Physically Literate future citizens.

We will explore:

• the National Curriculum (NC) throughout the Age Phases/Key Stages, focusing specifically on the Welsh NC requirement for Physical Education
• teaching styles and strategies that result in appropriate challenge and support, progression and engagement • the relationship between teaching and learning, and the role of assessment of learning and assessment for learning. • how carefully planned, challenging, differentiated tasks result in achievement
• supporting the progress of learners through regular, relevant and supportive feedback

The focus of the module will be on discovering the most effective methods for the delivery of a dynamic pupil-centred Physical Education program that results in a confident, self motivated and engaged learner. We will explore an evidence based pedagogical approach that emphasises ‘task mastery’ as a measure of achievement and progress. You will discover how to create an inclusive learning environment that supports a sense of autonomy, belonging and competence that nurtures intrinsically motivated and self-sufficient learners.

1. Following successful completion of the module, students will be able to: Through application demonstrate a thorough understanding of the theoretical basis for an inclusive, empowering learning environment

2. Following successful completion of the module, students will be able to: Demonstrate effective pedagogical strategies that support progression through pupil centred learning.

Resource implications for students

To ensure your degree learning outcomes are met and health and safety is maintained, practical sessions are compulsory. If you miss more than one practical session without genuine mitigating circumstances you will fail the module (due to not meeting the learning outcomes) and will either: • be asked to re-sit the module in the following year. You will be charged to resit this module • be transferred off the course to another of our degree programmes. You will have to make up missing credits required for your new degree. If additional learning and assessments are required to make up these missing credits you may be charged. You will graduate with a different degree title. Important: Students who fail the module (overall module mark less than 40%) or miss module assessments, will be required to undertake a resit or first-sit assignment in the Supplementary Assessment Week (SAW). The SAW will be held in July 2019 (exact date to be confirmed nearer to the time). If you are resitting your assignment, your mark will be capped at 40%.
