| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | During studies, students, using lecture materials and various other sources of information, perform independent work in practical classes, test new skills and perform at seminars on: application of skills and knowledge in horizontal and vertical jumps, rolling, climbing, crawling and obstacle overcoming exercises. Choosing and selecting study methods for the development of critical thinking and decision-making skills in the field of physical activity, develops a lesson plan and assessment criteria. The final examination is an oral examination: methodology and practical use of obstacle overcoming. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Assessment criteria of learning outcomes: Examinations: 1. Skill and knowledge test – 20% 2. Skill and knowledge test – 20% 3. Skill and knowledge test – 20% 4. Final examination: Oral examination – 40%. | ||||||||
| Final Examination (Full-Time): | Exam (Oral) | ||||||||
