Å-KR230 Physical education 2

Contents and structure

The characteristics of physical education lie in physical activity in various forms of games, dance, sport and outdoor life.

 The subject is intended to make an important contribution to supporting a culture of movement and to the further development of the students' interest in physical activity for their own pleasure and health. The aim is to stimulate students into long-lasting activity habits.

 The scope of the learning outcome formulations indicates that, during the course of their studies in Sports-Physical education, students will receive teaching in various subject courses. What holds these together and creates continuity is the physical education didactics and methods in the various subject courses. Where this is natural in the didactic and methodical nexus, themes such as basic skills, adapted teaching, international conditions and cultural diversity will be an integral part of the teaching and related to the practice field.

Teaching methods

In physical education, a great deal of time will be used in working on physical activities. Various forms of work will be used, depending on what is best suited to what is being taught. This applies to work on both theoretical and practical subjects.

 Lectures

Problem-based learning in groups or individually

Practical work on activities in different environments

Teacher- and student-controlled tasks in the course of study

The students will work on various practical, methodical tasks during the course of study

Guidance individually or in groups

ICT will be used to convey information to students and for communication between students and employees. ICT will be brought into subjects where it is natural to do so.
