Applied Didactic to Primary School
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The course provides theoretical-practical knowledge in the planning, programming, and teaching of physical activity in children aged 5 to 11 years. The course explores organizational, relational, and education aspects that can be applied to various education settings and are necessary for the professional education of a physical education teacher-trainer. The course also provides for a wide variety of direct experiences in physical activity that can be transferred and adapted to different educational settings.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge for working as a physical education teacher, plus skills in project design and orientation to working with local agencies (public and private) and school authorities (primary school principals and teachers). Students will learn how to create teaching plans that meet the needs of their students and to organize their lessons with appropriate attention to pedagogy and methodology in schoolchildren. Students will learn how to test and monitor the activities in a physical education program.
Lesson period: Activity scheduled over several sessions (see Course syllabus and organization section for more detailed information).
Assessment methods: Esame
Assessment result: voto verbalizzato in trentesimi
Single course
