| Preliminary Knowledge: | Study courses mastered: Teacher’s Professional Skills, Teaching and Learning in the Context of Diversity, Educational Psychology for Teachers, Human Anatomy, Pedagogical Foundations in Adapted Physical Activities, Student-Centred Approach in Adapted Physical Activities, Assessment Methods in Adapted Physical Activities, Content of Adapted Physical Activity Programmes and/or Adapted Physical Activities for Students with Mental Development Disorders, APA for Students with Sensory Development Disorders, APA for Students with Behavioural, Learning Disorders and Autism. | ||||||||
| Objective: | To provide individually the most appropriate study methods to any student. To provide basic knowledge on the hierarchy of provision of learning instructions. | ||||||||

| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | To prepare for seminars and test work on topics: 1. Hierarchy of provision of instructions. 2. Less restrictive hierarchy (LRE) level. 3. Verbal or non-verbal instructions. Independent performance of practical work: 1. Using gestures. 2. Direct and indirect provision of instructions. Modelling. 3. Partial physical provision of instructions. Full physical provision of instructions. 4. Pair assistants, cooperation methods. To prepare for the examination. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Knowledge and skills of students are assessed in three test works. Skills and competences of students are assessed in four practical works. To prepare a theoretical justification of practical work, to measure individually and collectively objective signs of functional limitations relating to adaptation of instructions in APA. At the end of the study course, a differentiated assessment is provided based on the sum of points obtained without an additional examination. To get a positive assessment for the study course, the total points should sum up to at least 4. Summative assessment of knowledge and competences in test works. All written test works must be passed. If a student is absent or does not pass a test work, the test work must be retaken and passed. For a student to have a successful final assessment, he/she must have successfully written all seven of the intended test works. In practical works, students should fill the measurement protocol individually. Conclusions should be drawn on compliance of the results obtained with the standard, and they should be interpreted. | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | 1. To demonstrate comprehensive and sport-specific knowledge of the hierarchy of provision of instructions, about less restrictive hierarchy (LRE) levels. 2. About instruction strategies promoting physical and movement capacity. | ||||||||
| Skills: | 3. Verbal or non-verbal instructions, on the use of gestures, on the direct and indirect provision of instructions, on the modelling of instructions. 4. Demonstrates skills for the provision of partial physical instructions, the provision of full physical/manual instructions, the use of pair assistants’ instructions, methods of cooperation in a sports and health class. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | 5. Acquires competences in physical and movement capacity promoting instruction strategies, to determine knowledge in practical activity – by drawing up APA lesson abstracts for school’s sports and health classes, etc. | ||||||||
