Assessment
Unaided Work:
1. Demonstration of the choice of the range of digital tools to ensure teaching and learning of acrobatic elements and their critical evaluation according to the competence approach. 2. Technology of teaching acrobatic elements and simpler tactical methods and teaching them, critical evaluation of study theories according to the competence approach. 3. Modelling of an acrobatics lesson, modification of acrobatic exercises according to the content in all levels of education, practical presentation of acrobatic elements, leading according to self-designed lesson notes and assessment of learning on the basis of a self-created section for the assessment of the description of performance levels and transversal skills of pupils and for self-assessment. Self-assessment of assessment of the lesson notes and performance levels of pupils.
Assessment Criteria:
- Attitude towards education, development dynamics, active participation in classes (20%); - Independent work performed by the student (30%); - Practical regulations (30%) - Written test of the study course (20%). - The total assessment is summative.
