Individual work
-
-
Students’ independent learning is organised individually and/or in working groups. Students prepare independently for seminar classes; study and analyse scientific and methodological literature related to the topics of the course; develop and present independent work: 1. To carry out an assessment of the problem of the study in learning movements and developing physical capacity at the selected age. 2. To analyse and evaluate examples of good practice (cooperation in a group) for creating an inclusive environment in an educational institution in learning movements and developing physical capacity. To set criteria for assessing the environment of inclusive education in learning movement and developing physical capacity, to study the situation of a particular educational institution according to the set criteria. To present the results of the evaluation obtained. 3. To independently develop a plan for learning movements and developing physical capacity at the selected age, based on a critical assessment of learning theories according to the competence approach, to self-assess and mutually assess it. 4. To set a learning objective in the learning of movements and the development of physical capacity at the selected age, to formulate the learning outcomes, to choose appropriate study methods to achieve learning outcomes, justifying the usefulness of the chosen study method. To demonstrate exercises for learning movement and developing physical capacity at the selected age (main part of the lesson 15 min) using the selected study methods. 5. To independently create descriptions of students’ performance levels and for the assessment of transversal skills and self-assessment in learning movement and developing physical capacity at each selected level of education. 6. To study in a group the experience of at least three countries of the world in providing feedback and assessing pupils’ performance in learning movements and developing physical capacity. To present the study of experience in a group at the seminar.
