The aim of this module is to allow you to critically evaluate pedagogical theory and apply it to a practical teaching and coaching environment, more specifically in the planning, delivery and evaluation of a programme delivered to primary school children. You will analyse current issues as they are applied to the teaching/coaching process, so you are prepared for a career in either sector. This will include analysis of inclusion and differentiation, creative teaching/coaching and cross-curricular activity, assessment and analysis of performance, and strategies for positive behaviour management.

The module aims to enable you to develop the ability to undertake a research project in the area of PE or sports coaching. You will apply your knowledge of PE and sports coaching in a research capacity and develop scientific, analytical and communicative skills. The module will provide you with the research and communication skills necessary to plan, develop and complete a research project.

This module will be a development of the Level 5 work placement module where you will be expected to develop your knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses relative to your chosen career in PE teaching or sports coaching using the relative industry standards eg QTS or CIMSPA. You will undertake a placement in your chosen sector, completing an audit of current skills and subsequently analysing your strengths, areas for development and career readiness.
