Code: SPOR09052 SCQF Level: 9
(Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework)		 Credit Points: 20 ECTS: 10
(European Credit Transfer Scheme)
School:School of Health and Life Sciences
Module Co-ordinator:Laura  Wallace

Summary of Module

Throughout this module students will investigate a range of targeted groups (e.g. females, people with disabilities, people from areas of social deprivation) to understand the barriers that these groups face in relation to sports participation, and how interventions aim to reduce and remove these barriers. This module will build on the theoretical underpinning and practical applications of this knowledge from the L7 module on the Fundamentals of Sport and Exercise, and L8 module of Sport Policy and Development, to enhance students’ understanding of the challenges faced by these groups, and the work undertaken by various agencies to address these challenges.  

During the course of this module students will develop an in-depth knowledge of targeted provision, as well as a range of transferrable skills including team working, communication skills, IT skills and problem solving. 

This module develops student in relation to the “I Am UWS” Graduate Attributes: 

Universal – Inquiring, Culturally Aware, Socially Responsible 

Work-Ready – Knowledgeable, Motivated, Ambitious 

Successful – Autonomous, Resilient, Transformational

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 learning and teaching approach will use a combination of lectures, tutorials, guest speakers and practical delivery. Lectures will provide underpinning theoretical material which will be supplemented by visitors from local Sport Development departments, governing bodies and other relevant agencies. Tutorials will be used to support students in the application of theory to practice, with practical sessions allowing them to gain an understanding of the provision for targeted groups from industry professionals.

Additional information, resources and directed learning materials will be provided on VLE.
