Learning and Teaching
A Constructivist approach to learning is used throughout this module with a strong emphasis placed on student’s self-discovery through experiential learning. This requires that they reflect on previously acquired experience and understanding in order to construct a personal understanding of a concept being taught. This allows the student to contextualise the concepts taught in lectures into their own environment and independent group study sessions.

Students will be asked to observe other coaches delivering sport sessions in addition to developing skills in team coaching, group work and whole group delivery. It is the aim that mentoring be provided throughout the module via the university tutor/appropriate professional practitioner. Students will engage in a variety of analysis and reflection approaches of coaching delivery on a personal level that will set targets for future focus and development within the coaching context.

This module requires that students experience working with clients, peers, and people that may be encountered within a professional capacity. In addition the need to self-assess allows students to develop skills necessary for future employment.
