Teaching and
Assessment Methods
Teaching Methods
Both the practical and theory work for this course are set in a
sport and recreation environment. Students are taught while having a
‘hands on’ experience completing tasks in an incorporated sporting
club. This club has been set up by previous Ausintec students and
continues to operate under the direction of the students.
We have found that students are more highly motivated to learn
this type of ‘real life’ atmosphere.
Field Trips are also included to further students’ knowledge of
the Sport and Recreation industry in Australia.
English language support is offered continually throughout the
course/s as many of our industry teachers are also qualified English
language teachers.
Assessment Methods
Both the practical and theory work for the courses at Ausintec
are assessed in the environment of a sporting club.
Depending on the unit being assessed, tasks may
include
- Communication with members and potential
members
- Coaching club members
- Contribution to meetings, including Committee
positions
- Working parties within the club
- Club projects
- Other associated club activities
Where it is not practical for tasks to be assessed within the
club environment, a simulated situation will be prepared. Other
assessments may include projects, risk assessment analysis, written
test, written report, presentation, research, interview, questioning,
demonstration, peer review, lesson plan, scenario, case study and/or
role play
