| DESCRIPTION | The focus of this study-unit is to give the students the opportunity to gain the skills and understanding of a variety of individual sports. Each sport that will be tackled will be analysed pedagogically thus giving it a different focus than the mentioned coaching skills modules. The role of the official in each sport is also covered. The study-unit will be carried out both on a practical and theoretical basis so that the students will experience the pedagogy of individual games. Study-Unit Aims: - The study-unit aims at providing students with knowledge and hands on experience of the pedagogical issues in an individual sport. A number of sports are used as a medium through which sport pedagogy is presented. Officiating in each sport will also be included. - Students will experience analysis of coaching pedagogies together with awareness of the qualities which make individual sport different from team sport. Learning Outcomes: 1.
