| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module will follow on from Term 1 modules where students have begun to focus on their Academic, Personal and Professional Development (APPD). To begin with there will be a revision of what was covered in Term 1 modules and how these relate to the content that will be covered in the present module.
This module which introduces the concepts underpinning sports coaching and practice. Students undertaking this module will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of effective sport coaching and the coaching process in addition to relevant awards for their field of study. Indicative content/topics covered within this module include: the roles of participation and performance coaches, ethical considerations in coaching, coach behaviour (e.g., instruction, feedback, questioning, demonstration), reflective practice, coach philosophies and an introduction to skill learning. Moreover, students will be supported through gaining experiences designed to develop them as coaches, culminating in the completion of case study that examines coach behaviour and a portfolio that evidences practical coaching experience. Students will also be encouraged to develop the skills learned on the module by undertaking National Governing Body of Sport courses, and other vocational training appropriate to their degree pathway. ADDP will be continuously monitored through contact with personal tutors and use of formative assessment throughout the module on a weekly basis (e.g., Weekly Learning Surveys).
This module will be predominately delivered on-campus. On-campus sessions will be supported by delivery of asynchronous activities.
- Appropriate student support will be in place within the module. Students with enabling support needs will be able to request the assistance of a helper.
- 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:
- Universal:

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 |
|---|
This module will be delivered using a flexible hybrid learning model which will provide you with a highly engaging, interactive and inclusive online learning experience.
Your learning and teaching activities will be delivered using a range of live timetabled and non-timetabled activities such as online tutorials, pre-recorded lectures, video resources and face to face practical's (when permitted). During this time students will work collaboratively with peers and UWS professionals.
We will be adopting a Flipped Learning approach whereby we reverse the order of the traditional lecture format. Instead of delivering new information directly to students this information is instead provided in pre-class activities. This may include the review of videos or academic articles. This then leaves class time for more active and collaborative learning activities such as group discussions. |
