| Summary of Module |
|---|
In Supervised Experience in Sport Coaching 1, you will work closely with a supervisor to develop a needs analysis and learning plan for you as a sport coach. You will engage in work-based learning (WBL) in a coaching role relevant to your development. As part of your learning, this module will prepare you to address any of the sport science disciplines or a pedagogical area in your chosen coaching role. You will be embedded within your chosen coaching context allowing you to choose a professionally relevant sport science-related or pedagogical area to develop. You will work with a supervisor to develop reflection and critical thinking in relation to your own learning aligned with your personal, professional and academic interests and needs.
You will be provided with opportunities to observe and apply skills in the discipline areas within sport science (e.g., sport psychology, sport conditioning, performance analysis) and pedagogy, to find innovative and creative solutions to coaching problems. This investigation will be completed with a view to informing future research in the programme of study.
This work-based learning module can either be situated with your existing employer or an alternative employer. For students who are not currently working, placements can be accessed to enable you to gain experience in your chosen role with one of our partners. UWS collaborates with a number of sports organisations all of whom have provided WBL opportunities to our students (e.g. professional sports teams and organisations, Sports Performance Schools, and National Governing Bodies of Sport).

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 Supervised Experience modules 1 and 2 form the basis for the MSc Sport Coaching and takes a work-based learning (WBL) approach. You will be situated in a coaching context and will be supported by an academic supervisor with skills in the sport science or pedagogy area you select. The specific focus of learning will be negotiated with the academic supervisor in relation to your practice and the WBL learning provider's objectives. For every hour of practice you engage in, you can build one hour of preparation time and one hour of reflection into your WBL hours.
Supervision will be provided both in person and online, individually and in groups. Supervisors will create communities of practice with small groups of students where coaching problems and issues are shared with peers for the mutual benefit of the group's learning. Supervisors will provide direct input to the student's WBL through activities such as discussion, observation, feedback on progress blogs, and provision of learning tools.
