Annotation

The subject follows on from psychology and pedagogy. For students, it creates a basis for studying the didactics of individual sports, but above all it is focused on the specifics of working with a heterogeneous group of students in school physical education.

Constructivist teaching emphasizes the work of students: self-regulated learning, work with own preconceptions, value-oriented education, etc., so that it is aimed at achieving the required competences of the teacher (didactic, subject-related and personality-cultivating). Students are guided to understand but also to create goals, contents of learning programs, to guide pupils to learning and their active participation in physical and sports activities.

They are introduced to the means, ways, methods and procedures that can be used in the educational process in physical education and extracurricular and extracurricular physical activities. They will learn how to work with pedagogical documents and relevant information sources.

They are led to self-reflection and lifelong self-improvement in pedagogical activity. Competences created: - Understanding the development of individual movement and sports needs of pupils and their formation. - Application of types of sensorimotor learning, appropriate methods and forms in specific movement activities. - Evaluation and monitoring of formative learning and education results.
