| Course description |
This course will focus on developing students' knowledge and understanding of the physical education curriculum and pedagogy approaches. The course will build on the experiences from year 1 by using current professional and academic literature to extend theoretical and practical understanding of curriculum and pedagogy into the early secondary years. Specifically, the curriculum component focuses on the recent policy developments in Scotland and the implications of these within the early secondary sector. The pedagogy component investigates the process of pupil learning and the ways in which the learning environment may be defined based on the interaction between teacher and learner. A range of developmentally appropriate physical activities will be experienced alongside (and within) the curriculum and pedagogy components to support theoretical understanding in these areas. |

Assessment Information
The scheme of assessment in the course will reflect the focus on Curriculum and Learning and Teaching. The grade for the Course will be based on the summative assessment of two university-based Assignments in the Curriculum and Teaching and Learning components.
A 2,000 word Curriculum assignment in which students will reflect on the current policy developments, philosophy and principles of CfE in Scotland and comparing the strengths, weaknesses and implication issues in relation to the early secondary sector.
A 2,000 word Pedagogy assignment in which students will reflect on the aspirations of CfE to place the child at the centre of the learning process and the need for increased interaction between teacher and learner. The students should consider the implications of CfE on pedagogy, the notion of value in education and PE, and the contribution of Mosston's Spectrum of Teaching styles to a range of experiences that could be justified as being of 'educational value'.
