Assessment
Unaided Work:
1. Demonstration of the choice of the range of digital tools to ensure teaching and learning of skating technique methods and their critical evaluation according to the competence approach. 2. Technology of teaching skating technique methods and simpler tactical methods and teaching them, critical evaluation of study theories according to the competence approach. 3. Modelling of a lesson, practical presentation of leading skating exercises according to a self-designed lesson plan and assessment of learning on the basis of a self-created descriptions of performance levels of pupils for the assessment of transversal skills and self-assessment. Self-assessment of assessment of the lesson plan and performance levels of pupils. Peer assessment of assessment of the lesson plan and performance levels of pupils.
Assessment Criteria:
Assessment criteria of learning outcomes: 1. Purposeful activity in seminars and practical classes – 30% 2. Independent work performed by the student when preparing for practical management of study activities and other examinations – 50% 3. Tests of acquired knowledge and skills – 20%
