Semester 1 · 80897 · Specialisation course for the teaching of children with special educational needs - German section · 1CP · DE


The course includes a critical examination of theoretical/practical concepts in sports education with regard to their potential for inclusion-related quality requirements in movement, play and sport in primary schools and the development of specifically inclusion-pedagogically suitable play and sport pedagogical, sport pedagogy and specifically psychomotor concepts.
Suggestions for the independent development of suitable play and sport pedagogical and movement-related inclusive learning arrangements for primary schools are given and reflected upon, and their concrete planning, practical testing and reflection are discussed.

Educational objectives
Students reflect on their own attitudes and actions with regard to the educational field of movement and sport in the context of inclusive primary school practice. They acquire skills in concept development, realisation and reflection of inclusive learning arrangements in and with movement, play and sport. Knowledge and understanding Students know and understand the importance and function of human movement in childhood and can relate this to inclusive school practice. Application of knowledge and understanding Students can make a well-founded selection of (differentiated) goals, didactic and methodological strategies and materials for inclusive physical activity promotion in primary school. Judgement Students can observe, analyse and assess movement and reflect on play and sports-pedagogical concepts and learning arrangements in relation to inclusion Communication Knowledge of the specialised language of movement education, speaking about movement in specialist/scientific contexts and in inclusive movement lessons with children. Learning strategies Acquisition and reflection of inclusive strategies for one's own pedagogical and teaching activities in the field of movement, play and sport with the aim of expanding professional competences.

Assessment
- Written examination: Documentation of the planning, implementation and reflection of an inclusive educational activity in the field of sport, play and movement in primary school - Oral examination: Presentation and discussion of the written work The completion of practical work assignments during the laboratory is included in the final grade. Assignment of a single final grade

Evaluation criteria
Ability to critically reflect on own experiences and learning processes, establish links between knowledge from the laboratory and didactic-methodological and (sports) pedagogical concepts in inclusive contexts.
