Objectives and skills

GENERAL OBJECTIVES :

  • Encouraging the development and mobilization of individual resources to enhance motor skills: While improving the physical potential of individuals is not the exclusive aim of academics , this concern is clearly part of the SUAPS mission.
  • Provide students with access to the cultural domain represented by sports and artistic physical activities: the opportunity to take part in such activities, seen as part of contemporary culture, is both an element of balance and a factor of integration into the university and civil community.
  • Providing everyone with the knowledge and skills they need to maintain their abilities and manage their physical life at all stages of life: being able to invest in physical activity while managing learning and safety, and remaining an informed and critical player, is a topical objective assigned to the pedagogical practice of physical activity. The university environment is an ideal place to go beyond the simple practice of sport, through theory-practice back-and-forth and reflective reflection.

SKILLS DEVELOPED :

  • Specific skills :

There are 5 different families of activities through which students will acquire skills that are both specific to the chosen PSA, specific to the family of activities and general.

  • Cross-disciplinary skills :

In addition to the various activity-related skills, academics at SUAPS aims to acquire activity-related knowledge (rules, knowledge of muscular activity, the human body, etc.), develop self-knowledge (warming up, managing resources, adapting, etc.) and social skills (observing, helping, managing, refereeing, advising, etc.).
These skills are broken down as follows:

  1. Self-awareness and health: a clear commitment to practice, a desire to stay in shape, a quest for "well-being".
  2. Sociability: take on different roles in a group, take initiative.
  3. Methodology: using different approaches and planning to learn how to act effectively.
  4. Creativity: coming up with new ideas and shapes.
  5. Adaptability: adapt to new situations and make quick decisions
  • Specific skills :

Each PSA develops its own motor skills and abilities, which are not listed here, but which translate into significant motor behaviors that can be observed and prioritized as objectives in the teaching content. These skills are defined for each physical activity (see details of our pedagogical project for all physical activities).
