Content

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.

Teaching methods
