Prerequisites

It is advisable to have passed the subjects of "Physical Education in Primary Education" and "Physical Education and Teaching I".


Objectives and Contextualisation

- To provide students with knowledge of the theoretical and the authors who have studied trends signified and interpret the processes of development and motor learning, emphasis on Early Childhood Education and Primary.

- Understand, analyze and reflect on didactic aspects of the acquisition process of learning engines.

- To design appropriate educational theory and practice to stimulate and encourage the development and motor learning. Explain and measure activities related to the basic motor skills and specific grounding in the theoretical knowledge acquired.

- Experiment through the practices at class directed by the teacher, and of the Practices of Internal Competences, programmed and directed by groups of students, the processes of education-learning of the human movement and of teaching of suitable activities of educational nature.

- Encouraging contact with nature as an ideal means of impinging on physical education and reinforcing health-friendly factors. A significant part of the practical and theorico-practice sessions will develop in the natural environment.

Physical activities in the natural environment (AFIMENA) to get to know and practice outdoor sports and learn about their organisation and the conduct of school groups in the natural environment.

The following 3-day and 2-night exits are initially planned:

- SNOW AFIMENA (January-February 2024)

- WATER AFIMENA (May/June 2024 months)

Such departures will be subject to environmental conditions and conditions that may be presented.

The approximate cost of each AFIMENA will be 250 €

The dates and details will be reported in good time.

AFIMENA are activities that will be dealt with from the transversal educational perspective. Its contents will be integrated and coordinated between 3 MEF subjects: Learning and Motor Development, Physical Activity Diversity and Health, and Games and Sports Initiation.

Students who cannot attend AFIMENA will have to perform academic work related to the subject of outdoor physical activity in primary education.

 


Methodology

It will promote the participation of students together with the production of innovative materials for understanding the course content through active and participatory teaching methods.

- Participatory and reflective activity: conducting lectures and promotion of anàili critical discussions.

- Experiential activities: guided by the teacher. Design by the students themselves practical tasks based Physical Education, experimentation with and implementation in the classroom.

- Cooperative Activities: carrying out work in small groups. Internal competence Practices

- Promotion of work and research processes: preparation and public presentation of research, formatting and depth proportionate to the time available in the field of development and motor learning in school ages.


Individual and group tutorials will be used, as well as the Virtual Campus.
										
											
It will be allocated approximately 15 minutes of some class to allow students to respond to the surveys of evaluation of the teaching performance and evaluation of the subject.
										
											
										
											The perspective of gender and inclusion indiversity will be valued in a transversal way throughout the subject.

 

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

important:

1. To pass this subject, students must show good general communicative competence, both oral and written, and good languagedomain (vehicular) in the teaching guide. In all activities (individual and group) language correction, drafting and formal presentation aspects will therefore be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.

2. Total or partial plagiarism, from one of the evaluation activities, or copying into one of the evaluation tests is reason to suspend the subject. At the beginning of the subject, the teacher will inform the student about the procedures to be followed in avoiding plagiarism.
