Module summary

Are you thinking of a career in teaching or coaching? Not sure which one is for you? Would you like to know more about each discipline? This module offers you the opportunity to explore each career and help you to find which is right for you. This module is designed to enable students to develop their knowledge and understanding of working with children in a Physical Education and Sport environment. The module will consider the difference in pedagogy between teaching and coaching and how each approach can be applied to get the best out of children aged between 5 -19 years. The module has been designed to cover both the theoretical and practical application of both disciplines and as such should develop knowledge and understanding from an applied perspective. This applied perspective will underpin the assessment element of the module.
