Paper Description
The paper addresses topics such as confidence and motivation, goal setting, resilience, leadership and group dynamics with a focus on comparing and contrasting how these psycho-social phenomena have been theorised, studied and applied in the contexts of sport, health and human performance. The paper will examine theories and models that have broad relevance across the degree. In doing so, the paper ensures an interdisciplinary aspect to the degree, while focusing on psycho-social theories and models of relevance to working as a professional in sport, active recreation, exercise and health.
Paper Structure
Additional content related to each lecture will be provided online in a combination of videos and readings (some content will be new and some content will reinforce learning associated with the weekly lecture). Content can be viewed before or after the related lecture. Weekly quizzes will cover the content of the lecture, additional content and workshops. Quizzes count in equal parts towards Assessment 2.
All workshops can be completed online (via DIY worksheet); however, some workshops will be available face-to-face (much more fun!). We recommend that you sign up on Moodle for each face-to-face workshop that you wish to attend (first-come-first-served).
Note that each week, we will test your knowledge of the workshop by including specific questions in the quizz - so we encourage you to attend the face-to-face workshops if you can.
