EDO3461 Sociocultural Foundations of Physical Activity (FOEDU)

Semester 1 (ONC)Toowoomba (WEB)Toowoomba

Units 1.0 (070303) Band 5

Synopsis

This course aims to provide students with the opportunity to interpret and research issues related to sociocultural aspects of sport and physical activity and to become an increasingly independent and reflective learner. It is expected that you will develop skills in a range of understandings and competencies for interpreting and analysing sport and physical activity issues within the wider and complex social environment of Australia and The World. The course adopts the view that sport and other forms of physical activity are microcosms of a larger community and as such reproduce and emphasise the dominant ideologies of that community. The opportunity for active participation in the course is provided via reflection on personal experiences and acquired knowledge through cooperative group-work, discussion forums and feedback sessions.
