The overall Session Long Project (SLP) for MAE570 requires students to begin building a portfolio of resources that may be used in the field of coaching, team administration, and/or sports leadership. A portfolio is a compilation of written materials that reflect an individual’s personal and professional philosophy, while describing knowledge and information related to a specific field of study.
Students will begin development of their portfolio by completing the following sections throughout the session, with one section due each module:
Section 1: Relationship among Educational Psychology, Sports Psychology and Positive Psychology in Sports and Sports Leadership
Section 2: Application of Teaching and Learning Theory to Coaching
Section 3: Role of Constructivism in Learning Sports
Section 4: Self-Assessment and Personal Philosophy
SLP 1
SECTION 1: Relationship among Educational Psychology, Sports Psychology and Positive Psychology in Sports and Sports Leadership
In conjunction with our focus on some basic terms and concepts, write a reflective essay responding to the following items:
- What is teaching?
- What is coaching?
- How are these concepts similar? How do they differ?
- What does psychology (including educational psychology, sports psychology, and positive psychology) have to do with teaching and coaching?
