Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Scienze dell'Educazione Motoria e delle Attività Adattate (LM-67)

The course aims to provide students with skills related to the role of the teacher of physical education in primary and secondary schools.

The 4 modules of the course will specifically analyze the concept of competence intended as the integration of knowledge, abilities, metacognitive and methodological skills. The concept of well-being will be dealt with, from an exercise and nutrition point of view, and the modalities for the implementation of interventions in the scholastic field will be explored, with in-depth analysis in the field of evaluation and didactic planning.

The expected learning outcomes will be expressed through the Dublin European Descriptors which include:

Knowledge and understanding

At the end of the course, students will need to:

• demostate how to design interventions to promote well-being in a school environment, using a multiskill approach embracing different areas in the concept of well-being.

Applying knowledge and understanding

At the end of the course the student will need to:

• use the planning tools to attract funding for the realization of scholastic and extra-scholastic activities on the key elements (physical activity, nutrition) to favor the well-being of the individual, in the context of Exercise and Sport Sciences;
• develop projects in school exercise and sports sciences for each order and level of school, on the basis of the ministerial laws in force.

Making judgements

At the end of the course students will have to demonstrate:

• master the methods of planning interventions for the promotion of well-being in the school, using an approach based on competences and embracing the various areas of the concept of well-being;

• knowing how to integrate the information of the individual modules into an organic, innovative and feasible project proposal;
• be able to critically and consciously support the choices and proposals made.

Communication skills

At the end of the course students will have to demonstrate:

• use the correct terminology in reference to the context to enhance one's project.

Learning skills

At the end of the course students will have to demonstrate:

• Functional learning skills in future work environments.

COURSE STRUCTURE

The lessons have a total duration of 96 hours. Unless further restrictions are imposed by the pandemic trend, which will be promptly communicated, the method of administration of the course includes lectures in presence. The teaching material will be made available through the Moodle platform through the e-learning page. The instructions for using the platform are available at this link.

The final evaluation will consist in a written exam and a group work with oral presentation.

For each module the student must perform a 20-minute written test consisting in 16 question, both multiple choice questions with 3 or 4 answer options or open answered. Each trial is evaluated with maximum score of 32 (30 cum laude) and a minimum pass score of 18; The written test score is given by the average of the 4 tests.

Group work and oral exam: group work will involve 4-5 students in the preparation of a project, following the indications of the teachers that will be given in the second part of the course. The project is to be sent by e-mail to the reference professor within two weeks of the exam session. Students who send the projects after the deadline must present themselves to the next exam session. Group work and oral exam are evaluated with a maximum score of 30, and the results will be communicated directly on the day of the exam.

Finale evaluation is the mean of written test and group work (with oral presentation). The topics examinated will be covered during lessons and are listed in the “program” section. Will be necessary to demostrate a correct use of terminology.

Students belonging to specific categories (conditions of fragility from COVID-19) will be allowed to participate in the written exams online (webex platform).
