Pedagogy and Didactics of Arts and Movement

Semester 1 · 13416 · 5 year master degree in Primary Education - Ladin section · 9CP · IT


Based on the general educational objectives of kindergarten and primary school, the course emphasises the importance of movement, play, sports, art, and technical education for a child's development. In combination with artistic forms of expression and their didactics, especially regarding the possibilities for technical implementation, an innovative perspective on aesthetic education and training emerges. The course's goal is to provide insight into the world of physical and technical education, focusing on action-oriented learning, taking into account gender-specific requirements, individual differences, and aspects of inclusion.

Educational objectives
On the one hand, students deepen their knowledge of basic movement and sports education and art education theories and, on the other hand, reflect on their own experiences. In detail, students in the module should - develop the ability to act in the field of performing arts and movement cultures, including sport; - experience and apply ways of teaching and learning in the field of art and movement as well as technology; - understand how materials, tools, equipment and spaces can be used for art/technology as well as movement, play and sport; - understand which processes can be used to accomplish technical and creative tasks; - try out stimulating learning situations for different age groups. In this bilingual module, students acquire both scientific knowledge and specific didactic skills. Expected learning outcomes and competences: Knowledge and understanding Know and understand the meaning and function of human movement in different contexts, the basics of movement development and movement learning; know and understand the significance and function of form and technique in the production and analysis of an artistic product; have knowledge and insight into the reciprocal relationship between form, art and body for the design of aesthetic processes. Applying knowledge and understanding Be able to make a well-founded selection of content and teaching methods for movement lessons in day-care centres and primary schools; Ability to transfer theoretical considerations and empirical findings to the concrete use of techniques and technologies in kindergarten and primary school; Consideration of the form-art-body relationship in the planning and implementation of didactic settings for aesthetic education. Judgement Being able to observe, analyse and assess movement; Ability to make a scientifically based judgement on the significance and didactic use of technologies and techniques for aesthetic education in kindergarten and primary school. Communication Knowledge of the technical language of movement education, speaking about movement in technical/scientific contexts and in movement lessons with children; Ability to communicate precisely and theoretically in a specialised language about the pedagogy and didactics of art and movement and their context; Ability to appropriately present the complex relationship between form, art and body/movement in a group or to laypersons. Learning strategies Acquisition and reflection of strategies for one's own practical and teaching activities in the field of movement and sport with the aim of expanding professional competences.

Assessment
The final oral course examination comprises four partial exams, one for each module. Assessment is based on the examination discussion, level of participation in laboratory activities, the production and presentation of a portfolio of activities and a station-based assignment, as well as the quality of the objects made in the laboratory.

Evaluation criteria
Final marks are assigned for the entire course. If a negative mark is received for one or more modules, the remaining modules that have been marked positively will still be valid for the next examination attempt. Please note, however, that a negative mark will still count towards the number of examination attempts, even in this case. According to the examination regulations, three failed attempts will result in a suspension for three examination dates (see Article 6, Paragraph 4 of the current examination regulations). The evaluation criteria are: correctness of answers; logical structure and clear argumentation; reference to scientific literature; ability for critical analysis and reflection; use of scientific terminology; independent and well-reasoned judgement; and quality of the produced materials. According to the Faculty's examination regulations, in order to obtain a positive final assessment for the course, it is necessary to obtain a positive mark in each module.
