Introduction

The “Sport and development in practice” course reflects on the student’s personal experiences from the first half of their internship. There are no requirements for the collection of empirical data in this course. However, the student is expected to apply some of the curriculum literature from the introductory topic, IKU201, in reflection of personal internship experience.

Learning outcomes

The student will, on the basis of about half a year placement in southern Africa as a sports volunteer, be able to reflect on local conditions taken into account in training measures in sports and physical activity.

Learning styles and activities

The student will write an independent assignment based on experiences from the first half of the year as a sports volunteer. Such experiences come from the student’s daily internship routine with local organization from southern Africa where they have been placed. Participation in the organized training sessions and programs in local communities while also observing and reflecting as they unfold are key to writing the assignment.

Assessment

The specific requirement is that, writing of the assignment should not exceed 7000 words.  This is assessed with a grade ranging from A-F.
