Module 61-GymGe-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 on the basis of subject-specific didactic theories and models, taking into account diversity-sensitive and digitally supported teaching, in a criteria-led 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 core issues of the sports pedagogical discourse, especially with a focus on inclusion, and to use and reflect on this knowledge when justifying 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.

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 as well as 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 didactic theories and models as well as reflection on the current framework specifications and curricula for the subject of physical education in the relevant school types. Various models for lesson preparation and evaluation will be discussed against the background of diversity-sensitive and digitally supported teaching as well as characteristics of good physical education.

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.
