Course Summary

The key aim of this programme is to enable students to become confident, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic teachers of Physical Education. The programme provides opportunities for students to explore the theory and practice of Physical Education through a range of lectures, workshops, and tutorials, and to develop their expertise in the classroom through two school placements.

The course will provide students with an awareness of the theoretical foundations of the subject, of strategies for teaching and learning in Physical Education and of current issues surrounding Physical Education. Workshops will enable students to explore a range of practical processes and approaches. Regular tutorials enable students to receive individual support from tutors. Tutors on the programme are experienced teachers of Physical Education.

During school placements, students benefit from working alongside experienced teachers of Physical Education. Students have opportunities to observe excellent teaching before experimenting with approaches to teaching and learning across the secondary age range, during which time they are supervised and supported by teachers and tutors.

Modules

This module allow student teachers to practise their emerging pedagogical skills, and to meet current professional standards, currently the Teachers' Standards (2012). Throughout the module, students will be encouraged to think critically about aspects of learning and pedagogy in order to help them to become confident, autonomous professionals.
