Competencies

In this module you will acquire the skills, methodological and research methodological knowledge to plan and practically implement your own research work related to school and physical education. You will be able to independently carry out and evaluate quantitative or qualitative research focussed on specific subjects. You will deepen your research methodological skills.

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 such as the study project.

Content of teaching

In the "Preparation for the research project Research-based learning with reference to school and teaching" you will be given a practical problem-orientated introduction to standards, methods, methodology and techniques of scientific work in the field of Sports Science teaching research. Qualitative and quantitative methods are covered.
In the "Project seminar on the research project Research-based learning with a school and classroom focus", this content is applied in practice using the example of your own research work in small groups.

In the "Sports Education Research Colloquium" you will actively discuss current topics in the sports education discourse. This will enable you to link the research methodological skills taught in the module to ongoing research projects in situational contexts and to prepare your own research projects, e.g. in the study project or final thesis.
