Learning ability
At the end of the course, the student will be able to deepen their knowledge on the subject by following more specific and higher-level courses.

The course aims to provide students with:
 the knowledge of the historical evolution of body education and sport in the western culture;
 the knowledge of the general pedagogy, also declined as sports pedagogy, and of its function as a critical-reflective science within the sciences of education and sport;
 the knowledge of the pedagogy of the body and its themes.

The course is aimed at providing students with digital skills that can be useful for their future employments, as the capability of managing a database, using it for calculations and statistical processing and presenting clearly the obtained results.
To achieve the goal, Microsoft Office® suite will be introduced and, in particular, Word (for writing), Excel (for calculations and statistical processing), Access (for database creation and managing) and Power Point (for presentation), which are a universally recognized and largely used standard of this kind of software.
In addition, notion of HTML will be provided, in order to show how to create an internet site.

At the end of the course, students:
- will be able to write a text and properly set its layout in Word;
- will be able to present works, researches, results… in Power Point;
- will be able to create and manage a database in Access
- will be able to perform calculation and statistical analysis in Excel;
- will be able to create simple internet site by using html.

The expected knowledge objectives are:
1) the knowledge of the contents of the course (Dublin descriptor n°1);
2) the capability to apply such a knowledge to real problems competence in presenting technical topics (Dublin descriptor n°2);
3) the autonomy of judgment in proposing the most appropriate approach to solve a problem (Dublin descriptor n°3);
4) the ability to expose problems and solutions within the topics of the course by using a proper language (Dublin descriptor n°4);
5) the development of logical skills, useful to improve self-evaluation and self-learning (Dublin descriptor n°5).

To know and to understand the profound meaning of the laws and fundamental principles of mechanics (of the material point, systems of points, the rigid body, and fluids), thermodynamics, electromagnetism and wave phenomena.
To know how to use these theoretical tools in order to deal with the physical problems that arise in the field of motor science and sports, and in particular in biomechanics, with methodological rigor.
To have the ability to relate to problems in a logical, critical and creative way, identifying the physical principles that underlie the problem.

Knowledge and understanding
The course aims to provide students with the appropriate knowledge to understand the value of physical activity and sports practice carried out in the natural environment.
The course is aimed at transmitting technical and didactic skills useful for understanding the integration between the promotion of a state of well-being and health through physical and sporting activity carried out in the natural environment and the full use of the potential offered by the territory (hills, lake, etc.).

Applying knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, students will be able to acquire specific skills for the design, management and evaluation of motor and sports activities that can be carried out in different natural environments. To this end, together with the theoretical part, the course includes also the performance of an exercise teaching activity that will put the student in a position to experience specific didactic progressions.

Autonomy of judgment
At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand and critically evaluate the theoretical and practical-applicative notions, in relation to the different proposals for physical and sports activity, to the different environmental contexts and to the specific needs of the different populations to which they are addressed. exercise programs.

Communication skills
At the end of the course, the student will be enabled to know and use a correct writing technique and terminology for the preparation of specific physical activity and sports programs. Furthermore, the student will acquire the specific knowledge to use new technologies useful for improving the relationship and communication with the users of physical exercise programs.

Learning skills
The structure of the course is aimed at creating a harmonization between the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and practical-operational skills, also by means of the construction of a specific internship network to be carried out in the structures and in the areas closest to the natural environments that will be covered in the course
