Module 61-HRSGe-GymGe-GL_b Scientific Fundamentals of Sport for Students in Teacher Training

The module focuses on the following areas of competence for the area of expertise of Sports Science: You will learn basic scientific forms of thinking and working and will be able to apply these in an exemplary manner. In addition, you will acquire knowledge of teaching theory, didactics and sports sociology relevant to the area of expertise of physical education and learn to reflect on and apply this knowledge. You will be able to transfer and critically assess teaching theory and sport sociological discourses to your future professional field. Special emphasis is also placed in the module on the fact that you will not only absorb scientific results on individual topics, but also learn to understand and assess the respective construction logic and relative independence of the perspective from which knowledge is gained and secured in the social sciences and humanities. You will develop and consolidate your academic writing skills in this module. To this end, you will practise writing sports education texts under supervision and be able to apply scientific forms of thinking and working in an exemplary manner.

The subject-specific competences acquired are tested in the course "Fundamentals of Sports Sociology", but explicitly refer to competences from the other courses.
Academic methodological and literary competences are assessed in the lecture "Introduction to Academic Working Techniques in Sports Science for Students of the Teacher Training Programme".

The lecture "Fundamentals of Sports Sociology" uses selected topics and contexts (e.g. sports participation, sports socialisation, diversity and discrimination in sports organisations, migration in sports, integration in sports organisations, sociology of elite sports) to present the subject matter, theoretical perspectives and methodological procedures of sports sociological research.

As part of the lecture "Introduction to scientific working techniques in Sports Science for students of teacher training profiles", you will be introduced to ways of thinking in Sports Science, in particular Sports Education, using the example of selected scientific models, which will enable you to formulate and work on scientific questions independently and in an interest-led manner. In addition, you will acquire knowledge of methods of scientific work - including the use of digital tools - which will enable you to produce theory-based written work.

The lecture "Theory of Physical Education" gives you an insight into the theoretical foundations of the didactics and methodology of physical education. Fundamental aspects of the planning, implementation and evaluation of physical education are covered as well as the teaching of selected subject-specific elements of lesson design (e.g. in relation to co-educational physical education or movement observation and correction) and the teaching of interdisciplinary areas (e.g. for social learning, for aesthetic education).

The seminar "Writing sports education texts" refers to the problem of the working technique of scientific writing. You will learn how to write sports education texts (e.g. essays, seminar papers, theses) using text modules that you have created yourself. You will receive theoretical, methodological and stylistic advice, which you will test, discuss and implement.

Some of the three lectures are accompanied by tutorials or PAL programmes, in which the respective lecture content is dealt with in more detail using selected literature and academic working techniques are tested in practice.
