Class Internship in Training the Young Sportsperson

The Internship Curricular Unit (CU) is the culmination of the entire academic process inherent to the Master of Sports Training (ST), having a transversal character and aggregator of knowledge and materials from other CU. The Internship presents unique characteristics in the academic process, enabling a technical-pedagogical intervention in a real context, properly supervised and framed, with different levels of autonomy depending on the characteristics of the Host Sports Institution (HSI), the team / athlete (s) and of the trainee himself. On the other hand, the realization of this CU gives a trainer degree - defined for each modality - recognized by the governmental tutelage.

Not applicable

The contents of this UC are several and diverse: 1. Practical application and improvement of the theoretical foundations and methodological-didactic principles of ST. 2. It is intended that the process is organized and based on a triple perspective: the benefit of athletes, the contribution to the qualification of HSI, the apprentices' learning, having as reference the objectives of the Course. 3. The trainees' activities will take place in the following areas: a. Organization and management of the training process: Observation and analysis of planning; monitoring and analysis of the conduct of training; observation and analysis of control and evaluation. b. Participation in the competitive context, in the monitoring and analysis of participation in the competition and in any stages of competitive preparation. c. Deepening of a specific theme, through the execution of a scientific study.

In addition to Moodle, in the case of an Internship, this content will be difficult to operationalize.
