Module 61-G-GL_a Scientific and Didactic Fundamentals of Sport for Students in Teacher Training

The module focuses on the following areas of expertise in the area of Sports Science: You will learn basic scientific ways of thinking and working and will be able to apply these in an exemplary manner. In addition, you will acquire knowledge of teaching theory, training science and sports medicine that is 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 discourses on teaching theory, training science and sports medicine to your future professional field.

In the course "Planning and Evaluating Physical Education", you will learn about specific ways of thinking and working in the planning and evaluation of physical education and acquire the ability to reflect on and apply these. You will also be familiarised with central questions of the discourse on the justification of pedagogical goals for physical education. You will learn to transfer your deepened and broadened knowledge to your future professional field and to reflect critically on various fields of practice. The knowledge acquired in the courses of the module and the skills acquired for critical reflection are intended to enable a professional internship oriented towards modern sports pedagogical standards and demands and offer starting points for research-based learning.

The subject-specific competences acquired are tested in the course "Fundamentals of Training Science and Sports Medicine" as an example, but explicitly refer to competences from the other courses.
The scientific methodological and literary competences are tested in the lecture "Scientific working techniques in Sports Science for students of teacher training profiles".

As part of the lecture "Scientific working techniques in Sports Science for students of teacher training programmes", you will be introduced to ways of thinking in Sports Science, in particular Sports Education, using selected subject-specific models, which will enable you to formulate and work on scientific questions independently and in line with your interests. In addition, you will acquire knowledge of methods of scientific work that will enable you to write theory-based papers.

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 skills (e.g. for co-educational physical education; for movement observation and correction) and the teaching of interdisciplinary skills (e.g. for social learning, for aesthetic education).

In the lecture "Fundamentals of Training Science and Sports Medicine", basic knowledge of the active and passive musculoskeletal system, the central nervous system as well as the organ systems required under stress conditions, the anatomical structures and physiological mechanisms that underlie training-induced adaptation processes and thus every increase in performance of conditional abilities is taught. In addition, you will learn the basic principles of training, which are an essential prerequisite for triggering, securing and controlling the desired adaptations and thus the training of conditional abilities.

The seminar "Planning and Evaluating Physical Education Lessons" focuses on the application of selected didactic theories and models to lesson planning processes and reflection on the current "Guidelines and Curricula for Physical Education". Various models for lesson preparation and evaluation will be discussed and critically reflected upon, as will the characteristics of "good" physical education lessons.

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 scientific working techniques are tested in practice.
