Knowledge, skills and competences of students are assessed in two test works for which points are obtained. 1. Planning, assessment, implementation, midterm assessment of an inclusive sports and health class, assessment of the need for modifications in the study process. 2. Critical thinking approach in APA education. Skills and competences of students are assessed in three practical works (preparation of theoretical justification, collection and compilation of data, their interpretation and drawing up of conclusions corresponding to the data obtained regarding setting measurable targets for students with SENs in sports education). Students master skills: to prepare a theoretical justification of practical work in team work, to prepare a theoretical justification, collection and compilation of data, their interpretation and drawing up of conclusions corresponding to the data obtained, setting measurable targets for students with SENs in sports education. At the end of the study course, a differentiated assessment is provided based on the sum of points obtained without an additional examination.
