Overall objectives:

1 - The profitability of the capacities offered today, technological, methodological, laboratorial and other resources and ways of support to the pedagogical action implies the development of strategies and compatible operation modes withe the comprehension and explorations of the possibilities that are presented, as well the domain of its utilizations. The investigation and the definition of responses to the opportunities that were created, in the same way as the inherent risks identification and memorization that, surely, will appear, take us to the study and analysis and the taking action of two strands of action:1-The promotion and motorization of the physical activity and sports in school.2 The study and analysis of the support and PA control and sports in school laboratory valences. In this way, we aim the student to be able to define the most relevant control variables and respective indicators besides knowing how to use it analyzing the costs of the processes that will be used.

Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The used methodologies are oral exposure with debate, the operationalization of the contents, analyzing of situations and problem solving applied to different situations and case studies. The evaluation includes the elaboration and discussion of works about physical activity and sport in school, conducting a laboratory work and interventions in the classroom situation. The percentages of each element of assessment will be discussed and agreed with the students at the beginning of the school year. No element shall be weighted more than 50%.
