Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The written submission, research proposal with ethical issues, (word limit 2000) will allow the student to select (LO1), under supervisory guidance, a topic within the broadest range of Sport and Exercise Sciences disciplines or activities. Individuals will search for, compare and evaluate primary scientific literature (LO1) and then develop scientific arguments and critically review the material (LO2). This process will be conducted under continued guidance whilst still fostering independent learning. Concurrent with this activity students will develop knowledge and critical awareness in ethical areas applied to their chosen topic (LO3 and 4). Lectures will be delivered to support this learning in areas of research and ethical practice with regular supervisory meeting to ensure appropriate student engagement.Two tutorials will be provided on a one-to-one basis to support the processes of choice of topic, information gathering, critical review, and scientific writing. Summative assessment and feed forward will ensure students are progressing satisfactorily.Key employability skills are embedded. Critical thinking and written and oral communication skills are required in the tutorial work and coursework component. Numerical skills will be developed through the statistics component. Workshops developing skills in data and data analysis through the use of statistical applications will be delivered weekly in the second part of the module (this is in line with identified student needs for LO5. IT skills are required for the analysis of data, the use of Moodle, on-line literature searches and preparation/submission of coursework.Formative Assessment For the research and ethical written component, formative assessment occurs during the Tutorials when students are given feedback on choice of topic and where feedback is given in their progress. Within the statistics component, formative assessment will occur weekly during the workshops where previous learning will be discussed. Formative assessment occurs during the Tutorials/Workshops when students are given feedback on their readings and/or tasks and they can assess their individual progress. Summative Assessment Summative assessment will occur in week 10 of the semester with a 2,000 word written assessment (1,500 words literature review and 500 word ethical issues component). The statistical component will be assessed via 2 hour written examination in week 14 of the semester.
