SHPOE3000 Professional development in sport, physical and outdoor

This unit explores professional development as a collaborative inquiry process. Students will explore the characteristics and importance of effective professional development in sport, physical and outdoor education. It aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience necessary to progress effectively as professionals in the sport, physical and outdoor education sectors. During the semester students will have opportunities to critically discuss their professional identity, specifically aligning pedagogical approaches and personal goals in each phase of their career. Through practitioner inquiry and a reflexive approach, students will explore opportunities for growth and professional development in their chosen focus area. Students will also participate in 20 days of work placement, allowing them to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical skills, collaboratively solve-real world challenges, and critically assess their professional competencies.
