Charlotte Third year, Physical Education – Secondary Education; “In our first year we learnt the foundations of teaching, behaviour and how to manage a classroom. We also learnt about non-invasion games like tennis and badminton and learnt different drills we could teach children. In our second year we went on a placement and also did a special needs placement to learn practices from teachers in different learning environments. We also looked at drills to teach invasion games like football and rugby. Third year is largely placement-based but we are also engaging with current issues in education.” 1st Year Becoming a teacher Scientific and Pedagogical Aspects of Physical Education The Science of Athletics and Health Related Activities Holistic Development through Outdoor and Adventurous Education Managing Learning through Non-Invasion Games 2nd Year Curriculum and Pedagogy Assessment and Pupil Progress Analysing and Assessing Performance through Invasion Games Social Sciences in Physical Education Promoting Creativity through Aesthetics 3rd Year Secondary Education, Schools, Learners and Teachers Current Issues in Education Health Based Approaches to Physical Education Research in Education
