Module Information

Higher Education requires the mastery and application of critical analysis skills to deal with the demands and challenges offered by study at this level. Students in Higher Education are also required to work with increasing autonomy as they progress through the degree, necessitating the development of skills in self-reflection, action planning and reviewing. These skills are also required in workplace settings post-graduation. The aims of this module are therefore to increase students' awareness of the need for critical analysis and self-reflection and to provide opportunities to develop such skills.

The purpose of this module is to provide a grounding in critical analysis skills required in Higher Education and the workplace post-graduation and to further develop students' critical self-reflection skills to facilitate optimal academic achievement. Students will gain an opportunity to engage in critical anlaysis of Sport & Exercise Science information and research, to develop cogent arguments in relation to Sport & Exercise Science issues and to engage in self-reflection, action planning and reviewing with a view to facilitating improvements in academic achievement. The module will incorporate a range of teaching and learning methods: workshops, group tutorials and seminars. Some module activities will integrate elements covered in other Sport & Exercise Science modules for instance, reviewing assessment feedback and devising action plans to facilitate future academic development.
