Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1. Student Presentations: Students will give presentations on topics related to movement science and performance. These presentations will help students improve their academic communication skills.
2. Practical Sessions: Students will reinforce their theoretical knowledge of movement science and performance by applying it in practice. Applications, particularly in areas like movement analysis and performance evaluations, will be conducted.
3. Problem-Based Learning : Students will work on case scenarios related to movement science and performance, developing their problem-solving skills. This will enable students to analyze and solve real-world problems.
4. Group Work: Students will work in groups to exchange ideas and conduct in-depth research on movement science topics through group projects.
5. Discussions and Critical Thinking: Students will engage in discussions based on scientific articles, developing their critical thinking skills on current theories and research in movement science.
