Planning and Implementation of Physical Education
This module provides first insights into a physical education curriculum for primary school in a country or jurisdiction. The different areas of a curriculum will be presented as main topics of the different courses and students will have to prepare teaching activities in each curriculum area for the subsequent course. This preparation work will be done in groups and the activities will be implemented in the practical part of the course in a gym. A template for lesson preparation will be used to prepare and describe the teaching activities and feedback from peers and the teacher educator will have to be collected during and after the implementation of the activities.
