Sports Psychology – student slides

The aim is for students to build their own bank of Sports Psychology knowledge that can be used throughout the course as well as at the end for review.

A favoured layout is to print two slides per A3 sheet; this appeals to students who often find the large visual style manageable, engaging and valuable as a supplement to their other notes and resources.

Sets of these student slides (PDFs) can be given to students as they start a topic area. They can work on the set slide by slide as each element of work is completed; or as a whole topic area once it has been ‘covered’. This can be done in class or as a homework / private study task

Student slides can be posted on secure areas of centres’ intranet/moodle platforms for easy access and further assimilation.

It is highly recommended that students check the accuracy of their work/completed worksheets against a printed copy of the teacher slides. (NB – agreed Terms and Conditions limit access to the full colour animated PowerPoint slides to staff only)
