| DESCRIPTION | The study-unit focuses on pedagogical knowledge aimed at the theoretical content of both Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) PE and Intermediate (IM) PE. The PE syllabus is analysed and adapted to the various and differing teaching contexts students face as prospective full-time teachers. Various methods of teaching and different resources will be investigated, discussed and analysed. In this way students will be introduced to different ways of teaching the syllabus. During lectures, students will be aided to improve planning while developing various lessons using different resources and different methods of teaching. Such material will be presented and students are allowed the space to analyse pedagogy, reflect upon the impact of pedagogical decisions on student learning, and provide critique and support typically found in learning communities. Content tackled in this study-unit will include: - Different Teaching Styles; - Communication; - The use of visual aids; - Questioning techniques; - Resource preparation; - Management & Organisation; - Class Control & Student Behaviour; - Catering for Different Abilities. Study-unit Aims: The aim is to help students develop the ability to analyse and choose the best pedagogical practices when faced by particular situations, particular students, in particular contexts. The aim is therefore to have students who are knowledgeable about various aspects that impinge on teaching, which aspects are listed in the description. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Demonstrate the ability to combine pedagogical and content knowledge through lesson presentations; - Evaluate, through self-evaluations, their teaching approaches vis-à-vis topics being discussed; - Analyse, through analytical writing, pedagogical decisions on how to deliver content. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Produce resources, which are then presented during lectures, that aid with student learning; - Develop worksheets to enhance and assess student learning; - Analyse and make informed pedagogical decisions through reflective writing.
