Practical Knowledge about Sports 2

Skills development in sports emphasises practical training, training management and facilitation, as well as the development of one's own skills and knowledge. IVB 130 is closely linked to IVB 140, where students will gain insight into how performance development can occur and be disseminate through different appropriate methods in the sports volleyball, handball, basketball, soccer randonee skiing and dancing. The course will focus on the ability to teach the sports at the basic level: skills in planning, facilitating, organizing, assessing and reflecting on training and learning in sports.

Participation and active collaboration between students is necessary in order to achieve the desired formulations for learning outcomes we have set for the subject.

Applicants for the study programme must meet the requirements for Higher Education Entrance Qualification or equivalent prior learning and work experience. See information from North University regarding admission based on prior learning and work experience. Upon admission, a valid police certificate must be submitted. Applicants are ranked according to the provisions given in regulations for admission to higher education. Admission takes place through national coordinated admission.

Obligatory

On the basis of research, theory and practice, the students will, through lectures, practical teaching, supervision group work, student-led activity and personal training, achieve the learning outcomes set for the course. There will also be investigation of different learning arenas for performance development, including skiing lessons (cross country and alpine skiing). The course work plan defines this in more detail.

The programme of study is evaluated annually by the students through subject questionnaires (a mid-term evaluation and a final evaluation). Evaluation is part of the university's quality assurance system.
