Teachings methods for acrobatic sports [ LEDPH1045 ]

Gymnastics and Sports Acrobatics

• Planning learning situations combining technical, physical and psychological components of acrobatic sports
• Formulating relevant instuctions
• Observing learner behaviour in order to detect movement errors
• Correcting movement errors

At the end of this course, students should be able to safely teach gymnastics and acrobatic sports to novices.

• Continuous evaluation throughout the course and final oral exam on didactic principles
• Technical evaluation of learned acrobatic motor skills

Didactic principles, applied to previously learned acrobatic motor skills, are first explained and discussed in a workschop. They are also applied in the gym to the learning of more complex acrobatic motor skills. Students autonomy is progressively promoted by the teachers.

Method: Didactic goals will be achieved in the classroom and the gymnasium through various teaching methods including video recording and analysis, observations in the field, project-oriented teaching, solution research and creativity expression. Physical and technical situations will be emphasized in order to facilitate the learning of acrobatic skills. Content: Prerequisite skills in the didactic approach (from EDPH1025 Gymnastics and acrobatic sports) will first be tested, then new skills will be developed.
