Teaching Methods
This curricular unit includes classes of different types, which are intended to be aligned with teaching methodologies. The theoretical classes will be designed to approach the contents in a flipped classroom logic, in which students should access the information in advance, and debate and reflection groups will be created on the topics in a joint session. Based on this information, tasks will be proposed in the theoretical-practical classes, in which students should use their knowledge to present suggestions of strategies or methods for each of the contents. The fieldwork classes will serve, in a supervised way, the students to have contact with the context of application of these contents in local sports clubs.
This methodology will be adapted for each of the specific sports.
