About Study Course
Objective
To provide knowledge on assessment objectives in APA. To teach assessment methods that are based on chronological age norms, criteria and performance. To provide knowledge on the interdisciplinary approach in assessment.
Prerequisites
General secondary education.
Learning outcomes
1. To demonstrate comprehensive and sport-specific knowledge of basic and specialised facts, theories, patterns of special educational needs of students with regard to adapted sport education (ASE) (for example, to obtain information from family members using appropriate assessment tools), movement potential, physical capacity, methods for assessing physical load intensity; principles for the development of physical characteristics and assessment of the dynamics of movement skills; physical performance characteristics of the body in students with SENs under different external environmental conditions.
2. Application of different assessment approaches (holistic, normative, criteria and other assessment approaches), use of these skills in sports and health classes; to take responsibility and initiative through study and practical work, individually, in a team or collectively, by developing practical work. To determine the current level of capacity of students with SENs; to assess the level of adaptation for APA; to assess the level of support for APA; to assess the goals of individual achievements in the long and short term.
3. To determine indicators of mobility and physical capacity and compare them with criteria, norms; to assess the level of severity of functional limitations of the student with SENs; to use knowledge of anatomy and physiology in practice – by creating lesson abstracts for APA for school sports and health classes, etc.
