Content and teaching methods

The main goal of this course is to inform students that they will carry an important responsibility towards their pupils, athletes (low or high level). This responsibility includes the fact that they will help human being in a personal project and requests a high level of respect.

By introducing ethics in the education of students, the goal is to set a framework of values that will sustain their engagement.

Deontology will help students to understand the rules they will have to respect in their profession. The physical education teacher and the sports coach will consider their own situation.

Communication between the sports actors, media - particularly in a crisis situation - requests a deontological approach.

The final goal of this course is that students should become professionals with a high level of ethical principles and deontological rules. In that way they will become respected professionals because they will respect those people they will be responsible for.
