Module 61-HRSGe-V-1 Advanced Sport Didactics and Scientific Theory I

In this module, you will learn about specific ways of thinking and working in the planning and evaluation of physical education lessons and will be able to reflect on and apply these. You will be able to independently plan teaching units and projects based on subject-specific didactic theories and models, taking into account diversity-sensitive and digitally supported teaching, in a criteria-based and competence-oriented manner, as well as reflect on their implementation and anticipate possible problems that may arise. Furthermore, you will be able to understand normative and empirical knowledge on key issues of the sports pedagogical discourse, especially with regard to inclusion, and to use and reflect on them in the justification of your own actions. You will be able to transfer and assess the normative and empirical knowledge on core issues of the sports education discourse to the future professional field. The knowledge you acquire will expand your skills in researching, analysing and reflecting on heterogeneous school conditions, teaching situations and the conditions for action in the (sports) teaching profession, as well as applying scientific forms of thinking and working to these in an exemplary manner and writing them down in larger scientific texts.

By discussing current research projects with academic co-workers from Department IV, you will not only expand your knowledge of research processes, but also contribute your own ideas and reflections and derive your own problems and hypotheses. You will expand your methodological skills for scientific work by learning to make and justify pragmatic research decisions and to evaluate theory and method with regard to your own empirical research projects.

In the lecture "Research Methods in Sports Education", epistemological core questions are related to the problems, methods and design of sports education research. The thematic focus is on the formulation of empirical questions, quantitative and qualitative research methods and experimental designs related to school and physical education. The normative and empirical knowledge acquired in the courses of the module enables students to work in the later professional field according to sports pedagogical standards and requirements and offers starting points for research-based learning.

The seminar "Planning and Evaluating Physical Education" focuses on selected subject-didactic theories and models as well as reflection on the current "Guidelines and Curricula for Physical Education" of the school types Hauptschule, Realschule and Gesamtschule. Various models for lesson preparation and evaluation will be discussed as well as characteristics of "good" PE lessons.

The "Dealing with heterogeneity" seminar addresses core questions and knowledge bases of the sports education discourse on various movement-cultural practices inside and outside of school with an overarching focus on inclusion.

In the "Sport Pedagogical Research Colloquium" you will actively discuss current topics in the sport pedagogical discourse. This will enable you to link the research methodological skills taught in the module to ongoing research projects in situated contexts and to prepare your own research projects, for example in final theses.
