| Assessment |
| Type of Assessment | Weighting % | LOs covered | Week due | Length in Hours/Words | Description |
| Report | 40 | 1~2~3~4 | Week 8 | , WORDS= 1500 words | Your report is an authentic assessment, where you will identify a problem in your day to day coaching practice, source an evidence base from the literature to help answer your 'problem' (e.g., 3 peer review articles), and design an evidence based plan for your practice moving forward. This assessment design will enable you to develop and refine your portfolio of work in a supported way across the first 8 weeks of the trimester. Your final report will intentionally be relatively concise in order to be appropriate for a real world context (demonstrated by a maximum of a 1500 words). Your report will be written in an academically rigorous but applied manner, aimed at an applied audience (e.g. sport coaches, sport administrators, sport parents etc) rather than aimed at an academic audience. It will also be individualised, where you will be free to choose a relevant topic related to your own practice, interests and development needs. The assessment itself is designed to act as a significant learning mechanism across the first part of the trimester, alongside the taught element of the module (e.g., lectures, Moodle content), and formative assessment opportunities (e.g. tutorial work). |
| Oral Presentation | 60 | 1~2~3~4 | Exam Period | HOURS= 10 minutes | Your presentation is an authentic assessment, where you will identify a problem in your day to day coaching practice. This may or may not be the same problem as identified and used in the first assignment. However, it is important to note these two assessments are not related. You will not be presenting any information from your first assessment in assessment 2. However, this assessment is a progression from the first assessment because you will be required to design and develop a method to collect empirical data that specifically helps answer your 'question/coaching problem'. This will take the form of questionnaire, survey and/or interview data. You will subsequently be asked to design an evidence based plan for your practice moving forward based from this applied data collection. This assessment design will enable you to develop and refine your work in a supported way across the trimester. Your final presentation of work will intentionally be relatively concise in order to be appropriate for a real world context (demonstrated by a maximum of 10 mins). Your presentation will be academically rigorous and data driven but applied in manner, aimed at an applied audience (e.g. sport coaches, sport administrators, sport parents etc) rather than aimed at an academic audience. It will also be individualised, where you will be free to choose a relevant topic related to your own practice, interests and development needs. The assessment itself is designed to act as a significant learning mechanism across the trimester, alongside the taught element of the module (e.g., lectures, Moodle content), and formative assessment opportunities (e.g. tutorial work). You will have the opportunity to utilise learning from assessment 1 to apply to this assessment. |
