| 1 | At the end of this course, students should be able to safely teach gymnastics and acrobatic sports to novices. |
Content
The practical part of the course is organized in 2 modules supervised by 2 teachers. The 2 modules address the same didactic principles through different acrobatic disciplines. These principles are : development of learning situations or sequences, demonstration, instruction formulation, observation, detection and correction of technical errors, and adapted assistive techniques. One module is focused on Parkour and the other one on similarities between motor skills within gymnic and acrobatic disciplines or between acrobatic skills and motor skills from other sports.
Teaching methods
Didactic principles, applied to previously learned acrobatic motor skills, are explained and discussed in a workshop. They are also applied in the gym to the learning of more complex acrobatic motor skills. Students autonomy is progressively promoted by the teachers.
Evaluation methods
In this course, students are assessed in various ways:
To pass the course, students must obtain an average of minimum 50% on all assessments and a minimum of 40% in each assessment. A student who is absent without valid justification during an assessment is considered absent from the examination (final mark).
In the second session, the student represents those parts of the assessment for which he/she has not obtained 50%. The assessment takes the form of an assignment for the seminar part (20% of the mark) and an oral examination for the practical cycles (80% of the mark).
- Continuous assessment (assignment) as part of the seminar (20% of final mark)
- Continuous assessment of technical and didactic knowledge and skills during the year as part of the two cycles (2X20% = 40% of final mark)
- End-of-year oral exam on mastery of didactic principles, including demonstration, in one of the two practical cycles (40% of final mark)
