Didactics of Physical Education

In this module students will attain knowledge and identify the different methodologies of teaching Physical Education applied in this educational stage (Primary School) and be able to adapt them to the characteristics and specific contextual needs. They will experience the different elements of the didactic intervention and analyse and apply the different ways of intervening in the teaching of PE and Sport in simulated teaching situations. Students will be initiated in the teaching activity (peer teaching). Furthermore, they will develop their capacity for analysis, reflection and criticism as future teacher in the application of the methodologies to the stage of Primary School PE.
