The course Sport Psychology (102557) constitutes, together with the course “Physical Activity and Health” (102558), the subjects of the “Sports Psychology and Physical Activity” area.
The course Sport Psychology is framed in the Specialization in Psychological Intervention on Welfare and Quality of Life and in Analysis and Intervention in Educational Psychology. Coursing this subject allows the student to obtain one or both mentions, depending on the chosen subjects’ itinerary.
This course does not require previous knowledge of other subjects. It is convenient that students that want to specialize in the sports psychology field also course the subject 102558 – Physical Activity and Health, besides developing the Degree Project (TFG) based on one of the areas’ demands.

Students will be evaluable if they have submitted evidences of learning that constitutethe 40% or more of the subject's final mark.
Students will pass the course (continuous evaluation) if (a) they have obtained a mark of 5 or more as a result of the sum of the evidences, (b) they had a mark of 4 out of 10 in one of the two written tests (EV2 or EV5) and (c) a mean mark between the tests over 3.5. In the case of not meeting these requirements, the maximum grade that will be included in the grade roster will be a maximum of 4.5 points and the student will be able to opt for reassessment.
The student with a mark above 3.5 but below 5 in the continuous evaluation and have submitted evaluation evidences that constitute 60% or more of the final mark will be able to opt for reassessment. Reassessment will be offered for the written tests (EV2 and/or EV5). The Scientific Evidence-Based Professional Project (EV1, EV3 and EV4) will not be up to reassessment. The student will only be able to obtain a 5 in the final reassessment mark, regardless of the mark obtained in the reassessed evidences.
The single evaluation will take place on the same day and place as the EV5. All the contents of the course will be evaluated with the same evaluation weight as in the continuous evaluation. Both written tests will be carried out (60%) with the same evaluation weight as the continuous EV2 and EV5 (30% + 30%) with multiple choice questions and a professional project report oriented to respond to a specific demand of a sports organization will be delivered (40%). The approximate duration of the test will be 3 hours. The same resit process as the continuous assessment will be applied.
No unique final synthesis test for students who enrol for the second time or more is anticipated.
