Scienze delle Attività Motorie e Sportive L-22 - Torino

Learning goals

The teaching contributes to the achievement of the educational objective of the course of study in Motor and Sport Activities Science providing students with the basic knowledge and skills to operate in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the finalized human movement, through the development of a critical mindset strongly oriented to the analysis of the complex human system.

In addition, the educational methodological aspects of the teaching of motor sciences will be examined in depth.

The student will obtain congruent tools with the professional profile of motor and sport activities, useful for operating in private or public sports centers, sports organizations and recreational and social associations.

Based on the acquisition of these skills, students will be able to work in the professional sector by becoming a reference figure in private or public sports centers as a consultant, manage sports or recreational associations aimed at the psychophysical well-being of people, conduct motor and sports activities, structure individualized motor activity programs, organize sporting events.

 (History- 2CFU)

The teaching aims to provide the knowledge necessary for the structuring of competences, in the field of Motor Sciences, related to the History of Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sport in order to understand the contemporary phenomena and contexts and contributing to the training  of the future professional of the movement.

Expected learning outcomes

Knowledge and ability to understand

At the end of the course the student will have to:

• Demonstrate knowledge of the basic elements for a correct qualitative and quantitative analysis of motor action and sporting gesture;
• Demonstrate understanding of descriptive models of motor action;
• Basic knowledge related to the teaching methodology of human movement;
• Ability to find information on specific advanced texts
• Have knowledge of avant-garde themes related to the movement and sport

Applied knowledge and understanding capacity

At the end of the course the student must be able to:

• Apply the acquired knowledge in order to demonstrate a professional approach and a correct use of the specific terminology;
• Demonstrate to have adequate skills both to devise and support arguments and to solve problems in the sector of, finalized and not, human movement;
• Demonstrate the ability to teach and describe correctly a motor action and a sporting gesture, even with different age groups and different population targets.

Autonomy of judgment

• At the end of the course the student must be able to collect and interpret the data considered useful for determining independent judgments, including reflection on social, scientific or ethical issues related to them;
• Recognize the areas of application of your own knowledge, in particular compared to the professional figures related to the movement.

Communication skills

At the end of the course the student must be able to use the specific kinesiological language and terminology and have acquired tools and skills that allow him to deepen aspects and to study the issues necessary to work adequately in his professional sector, moreover must demonstrate able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to specialists and non-specialist interlocutors;

Ability to learning

At the end of this course the student will have to demonstrate the learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.

At the end of the course the student will have a fundamental knowledge to start a personal analysis of human movement, in whatever form it is present and in whatever context it takes place.

(History- 2CFU)

At the end of the teaching the student must be able to master:

. knowledge and skills of the methodology of historical research applied to sports sport sciences for to orient  themselves as  competent (critical, autonomous, conscious) in contemporary reality

. knowledge and skills related to the epistemology of Physical Education for to orient themselves as

 competent (critical, autonomous, conscious) in the contemporary reality of the movement in the formal education of the institutions of the educational system at the supranational and national level

. knowledge and skills related to the epistemology of the Physical Activity for to orient itself  as competent (critical, autonomous, conscious) in the contemporary reality of the movement and the health of the institutions at the supranational and national level

. knowledge and skills related to the sport's epistemology for to orient itself as competent (critical, autonomous, conscious) in the contemporary reality of the national supranational institutions of Sport.  

Teaching methods

Methodology 5 CFU

The course is structured in 40 hours of practical and theoretical lectures divided into 3 hours for lecture organized into theoretical frontal teaching with the aid of audiovisual tools, in-depth study and meetings with experts, educational outings, individual exercises and small group work. During the course there will be ongoing tests about the learning with individual or small group work. Attendance is mandatory.

(History- 2CFU)

The teaching consists of theoretical lessons (lectures and exercises) in accordance with the objectives and expected learning outcomes. It is 16 hours (2CFU), compulsory attendance, minimum required 50% of total hours. It is integrated with the part of Methodology (5CFU). During the lessons there will be in-depth studies, exercises and tests in itinere

Modality of verification of learning

The verification of learning includes:

Ongoing:

1. The presentation of individual works to verify the ability to apply what has been learned; 5/30
2. The evaluation of the activities carried out in class; 5/30

During the exam session:

       3. Written test on the topics covered in class (quiz 48 multiple choice questions, 30 minutes available) 19/30

The test will be done with computer systems, students will have to provide themselves with a tablet or laptop with personal internet connection.

The examination may have an indefinite duration, there are no alternative methods for working students, it is also possible to receive the signed supporting document.

In the event of inadequate assessments in progress (overall score <6):

      4a. Oral interview on texts 10/30:

Controllo Motorio e apprendimento or

Il movimento dell’uomo, Storia di un concetto.

In the case of voting equal to or higher than 26/30, of the total assessments in progress and the written test score (1 + 2 + 3):

      4b. Optional oral interview on the texts: Lettere dalla Kirghisa and Diario di scuola 5/30

The outcome of the interview will define the final partial vote on the module (in thirtieths) of the student who will then be composed of 1 + 2 + 3 + 4a or 4b

The final mark will consist of the weighted average of the final partial votes of the two modules (Motor activity and history)

(History- 2CFU)

 The modality of evaluation of  learning is in accordance with teaching objectives and expected learning. The theoretical verification is written, the evaluation is in thirtieths, reached the 18/30 threshold can be integrated with oral question by the request of the student and / or teacher. The evaluation of History contributes with the evaluation of Methodology to the determination of the evaluation of the integrated course (History and methodology) through the weighted average based on the number of CFU.

(History 2 CFU)
