About Study Course
Objective
To familiarise students with modern information communication technologies (hereinafter referred to as ICT) and their application methods in sports pedagogy, both by ensuring better integration of ICT into the study process and practice, and by strengthening cooperation skills in work with ICT. This practical course will also familiarise students with existing tools and models for creating and organising digital content, which can be applied independently under different real-world scenarios. This course includes a POPBL (problem oriented project based learning) model aimed at matching students’ skills with industry needs, which accordingly ensures that the student gets the necessary practical experience and knowledge during the implementation of a real project.
Preliminary Knowledge
Study courses mastered: Teacher’s Professional Skills, Teaching and Learning in the Context of Diversity, Educational Psychology for Teachers, Management of Educational Institution, Business and Accounting, Civil Protection, State Security and Environmental Protection for Sustainable Development, Human Anatomy and Dynamic Anatomy, Pedagogical Foundations in Adapted Physical Activities, Student-Centred Approach in Adapted Physical Activities, Assessment Methods in Adapted Physical Activities, Content of Adapted Physical Activity Programmes, Principles of Ergonomics and Safety in Sport Classes, Functional Limitations and Physical Exercise, General and Physical Activity Biochemistry, General and Age-Specific Physiology and/or Adapted Physical Activities for Students with Mental Development Disorders, APA for Students with Sensory Development Disorders, APA for Students with Behavioural, Learning Disorders and Autism.

Student’s independent learning includes:
1. Regular learning of study course content using lecture materials, study readings and internet resources.
2. Doing homework.
3. Development of a course paper.
4. Preparing for test work and examination.
During studies, students, using lecture materials and various other sources of information, perform independent work and present at seminars on: Practical application of ICT tools in the study process, analysis of ICT tools, integration of ICT tools into opportunities in an educational institution, choice and selection of related study methods for developing critical thinking and decision-making skills in the field of sports pedagogy, working with ICT tools and education technologies. Within the framework of the final project of the course, students develop a specific study content using a range of ICT tools learned. The final examination consists of a theoretical and practical examination.
