Summary of Module

In Term 2 (T2), you will continue to developing as a sport coach in the Supervised Experience in Sport Coaching 2 module through continued work-based learning (WBL). This module builds on the coaching experiences in Term 1 (T1) by asking you to reflect on the professional knowledge and skills you have developed and how these could be advanced further. You will evaluate your application of science to coaching and address your learning plan for T2 so that your knowledge and skills in the coaching environment are further developed. You will be supported by a supervisor specialising in the sport science or pedagogy area you have chosen to develop within your coaching environment. Your supervisor will work with you to create a supportive climate that encourages critical reflective practice and solving complex coaching problems.

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.
