| Course description |
The Physical Education Perspectives1 course is designed to provide a foundation course for BEd Physical Education students. The course aims to develop the students' understanding of the critical aesthetic, scientific and social discourses informing the professional in action within the context of Education and Physical Education. The course explores the implications for a professional in action. Through research based independent study students are provided with supported opportunities to apply this body of knowledge to their professional context (e.g. Placement; Teaching and Learning; Curriculum 5-14). Professional action presupposes an understanding of varied disciplines of human enquiry and therefore the Physical Education Perspectives course prepares students to draw on a range of understandings in their teaching. The course content, teaching and learning strategies adopted and modes of assessment aim to establish the academic rigour and professional preparation commensurate with a foundation undergraduate Initial Teacher Education programme. |
