Description

Observation, application and evaluation of the teaching, learning and assessment process in physical education. Current research and findings on the effectiveness of the teaching of physical education will be applied during practical teaching experiences. Innovative and alternative planning and teaching approaches, considering the needs and interests of students and the outcomes to be achieved, will be developed, implemented and evaluated. This unit aims to extend practical and theoretical knowledge and understanding in teaching, coaching and performing in a range of physical education activities.
