Pedagogical Project in Physical Education

The Pedagogical Project module aims to solve or carry out a self-selected problem or project within an implementation phase in a school environment. In both approaches, Project-based or Problem-based learning the learners are active and empowered. Both learning approaches allow our students to both acquire new knowledge and develop their self-learning and knowledge and develop their self-learning and lifelong learning skills. They also prepare students for the research work they are required to do as part of their thesis.
