Learning outcomes
|
The lectures are designed as theoretical and practical course for non APA majors or as "catch up course for Erasmus incoming students". If we write about the both (theory and practice) so we especially think the cross connection these form into the one block of lectures which can help you to understand the terminology, basic principles, history, dividing, activities, forms and thinking of adapted physical activity (APA) as a specific research, scientific and practical branch of kinantropology (kinesiology, sport science). The aims of this one-semester course are as follows: 1. To become aware and to understand specific needs of persons with disabilities in relation to specific contexts (environments) and conditions. 2. To become aware of own beliefs related to persons with disabilities and to learn to work with own beliefs and beliefs of students and peers. 3. To learn about adaptations of sports and activities and about specific disability sports.
