None.

Course Description

In this course you will apply your knowledge as a Health, Physical Education and Sport teacher to explain psychological responses to exercise and physical activity. You will undertake risk stratification and identify appropriate scenarios to prescribe exercise and when to refer individuals to other healthcare professionals. You will apply exercise physiology principles to the development of individualised exercise programs for healthy individuals, athletes, and those with recognised health concerns. You will acquire the knowledge and skills needed to measure and evaluate strength and physical conditioning, and to prescribe, monitor and assess resistance training and exercise conditioning programs for child, adolescent and general adult populations. 

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

Program Learning Outcomes for BP319 students

In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:

● Demonstrate broad and coherent theoretical and technical knowledge in practical applications in Health, Physical Education and Sport

● Create a safe and engaging learning environment using inclusive strategies, sustainable practices and digital technologies for diverse audiences

● Analyse assessment outcomes to evaluate the impact on student learning and inform future teaching strategies

This course contributes to the following BP320P24 program learning outcomes:  

• Enhance student learning and wellbeing by adopting practices that support sustainable futures and principles of inclusion, including for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 
• Adopt and apply sustainable, ethical, and collaborative pedagogical approaches to transform education in local and global social contexts. 
• Demonstrate agency and an emerging professional identity through their application of effective learning and teaching practices.

Overview of Learning Activities

You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as workshops, tutorials, seminars, project work, class discussion, individual and group activities. Teaching and learning may be face to face, online, or a combination of both. 

Overview of Learning Resources

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems. 

There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal. 

Overview of Assessment

You will be assessed on how well you meet the course’s learning outcomes (CLO) and on your development against the program learning outcomes. The assessment is also mapped against the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST).  

Assessment Tasks 

	Title	Weighting	CLOs	APSTs
AT 1	Report (e.g., Critical Review, literature review, Guided questioning, etc.)	30%	1, 2, 4	2.1, 2.2
AT 2	Report (e.g., Field report on laboratory activities)	40%	1, 2, 4	2.1, 2.2
AT 3	Presentation (e.g., Group Seminar)	30%	1, 2, 3, 4, 5	2.1, 2.2, 2.6, 3.4, 3.5, 7.4

Due to safety and professional accreditation requirements students must satisfactorily complete all practical sessions. If you fail to meet this requirement, for reasons other than those approved by special considerations, you will not pass the course. If granted Special Consideration, you may become eligible to complete an alternative practical activity to pass the course. 

Feedback will be given on all assessment tasks. 

If you have a long-term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more. 

Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions.
