Inclusive Primary Physical Education
During this module, the participating student teachers will learn to know
theories, models and concepts when it comes to inclusive physical education during a first theoretical part of the course. Further on, they will be familiarized with the concept of ‘Understanding and planning for inclusion’ from the DIPPE-project (Disentangling inclusion in primary physical education; www.dippe.lu).
In the second part of the course, the teacher students will plan, implement and reflect inclusive physical education lessons in regular physical education lessons in a primary school. Alternatively, if access to a primary school is not possible, they will implement the classes with their peers during the course in a practical session. When planning the inclusive physical education lessons, the student teachers will have to base their planning and decisions for the implementation of their lessons on the theoretical concepts and models seen in the theoretical part of the course.
