Course summary
At a time of increasing concerns about physical activity and health, the PGCert Physical Education, Sport and Physical Literacy programme explores the issues around physical activity and how to support the development of physical literacy from early childhood, through to later life in the home, school and community.
The modules in the programme will help you to develop an understanding of how we can increase participation in physical activity and how we develop physical competence and motivation at all levels. The programme explores a personal philosophy in relation to physical education, sport and physical literacy. You will study how to lead and manage areas of work in relation to the development of health and wellbeing and how to conduct research. You will also examine and evaluates how work in the field has an impact on pupil outcomes and physical activity levels and how to develop this.
This programme is the only one of its kind in the UK and is supported by the Wales Institute for Physical Literacy. The programme is designed to be flexible to relate to the broad range of different contexts which all contribute to the development of physical literacy. The team of tutors that contribute to the programme are experts in the field.
There is an option to apply for the Wales Institute for Physical Literacy Bursary for the value of full Dissertation fees.
What you will learn
In a time of increasing interest in health and well-being, this programme is designed to enable practitioners to understand how they can contribute to this important agenda. The modules explore how physical competence is related to life-long physical activity and holistic well-being. Beginning in early childhood, students study how physical competence develops, can progress and refined into adulthood and maintained into old age. Links between physical competence, self-esteem and mental health are considered in light of the philosophical underpinnings of physical literacy.
Theories of motivation in physical activity are explored and applied to physical education and sport contexts. All of the studies on the programme is contextualised in the broader field of physical literacy. Students can consider their own personal philosophies and how they can support physical literacy in physical education, sport, community and leisure contexts.
