In this course, students learn about different perspectives on how to apply sports activities in practice. Through teaching selected specialisation sports and contemporary activities, students are introduced to different methods and models for teaching and learning. The activity teaching will form a concrete arena for the more theoretical courses in the bachelor's programme.

• Different ways of working and teaching methods in sports activities

• Selected teaching models

• Contemporary sports

• Specialisation options within the categories of individual sports and team sports

The offer of specialisation sports within the two categories depends on the number of enrolled students. At least two choices will be given within each of the categories.
