| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module builds on previous psychology modules by learning about the various theoretical models (e.g., a person-centred approach) used to help clients (e.g., athletes, coaches). Students will explore the ways applied psychologists work with clients (e.g., conducting needs analyses, designing interventions, evaluating effectiveness) and reflect on their own values and philosophy to understand how they approach applied consultancy in sport. The module will equip students with the theoretical knowledge and reflective skills that are required to understand service-delivery in applied sport psychology.
This module will assist the student in the development of key 'I am UWS Graduate Attributes' to allow those that complete this module to be:

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
| The teaching and learning approach will use a flexible approach to learning with a combination of asynchronous and synchronous activities. Core theoretical content will be predominantly delivered through a series of online materials hosted on the VLE, including recorded lectures and engaging tasks. Synchronous sessions will comprise of interactive workshops and tutorials. Much of the learning will be achieved through experiential tasks, directed independent study tasks, group work and/or class discussion, and creative problem solving. |
