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 this course 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

 

-     Administration of the club, including marketing and website development

 

-     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.
