| Course description | PE3C Research (in physical education) enhances and supports the students understanding of relevant research for physical education. By recourse to appropriate accounts of research methodologies students will become acquainted with valid and reliable approaches to research that can, in turn, inform their production of papers/investigation over years 3 and 4 of this Programme. Students will be ideally placed to review and reflect on their previous teaching placements and these experiences will undoubtedly inform the nature of the research practice and subject matter that they feel is appropriate as future teachers of physical education. The 'teacher as researcher' as an aspect of 'reflective practice' forms the starting point for PE3C Research. The targets for such research will gradually be shaped by the interests students develop through various (other) course inputs, as well as through the research traditions typically associated with these. The gradual shift to independent research by students is to be encouraged. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this 20-credit course, students will be able to:-
1. Understand a range of relevant approaches to research in physical education and assess their potential impact on professional action
2. Understand appropriate methodological approaches as these might be applied to a range of physical education enquiry
3. Justify a valid research approach in the context of preparing for undergraduate study/dissertation appropriate to physical education
4. Examine a range of relevant research articles drawn from different enquiry contexts and make informed critique through independent study |
Assessment Information
Students will be required to prepare and submit one summative assessment task of 2000 words. The remit will be based on an anticipation of the demands associated with future dissertation requirements in year 4
Some formative assessment procedures (via seminars) will enable students to prepare brief papers associated with their developing interests of enquiry into professional action in physical education. |
