Learning unit contents

This course focuses on the practice of sport training of students (sports classes). It runs over two semesters at a rate of ±7h30/week. Practical courses aimed at the initiation of large families of different sports disciplines (aquatic activities, ball games, gymnastics, athletics, expression) and the development of pedagogical skills in the sport context.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the first year of Bachelor of Sport Sciences, regarding the practical side, students should be able to: (1) to demonstrate a fundamental level in motor skills for different families of sporting activities (ie running, jumping, climbing, balancing, catching, swimming, ...) or even a mastery of technical aspects for some disciplines, (2) lead and manage a group of people to teach in several contexts (i.e. communicating, proposing a coherent content, leading a group, ...), (3) demonstrate competences sports ethics education (fair play, respect for others ...), (4) demonstrate ethical appropriate professional (correction, clothing, punctuality, effort, respcet of the administrative requirements,...).

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Practical courses require that students must be suitable for intense sports (medical certificate made by a laboratory specialized in exercise), have an excellent fitness level and the largest possible motor skill experience.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Practical classes are organized into families of activities proposed for a 1h15 period per week throughout the academic year. Units for first bachelor students relate to athletics, gymnastics, aquatics, ball games, expression. An unit is also devoted to the acquisition of basic pedagogy (physical educator training). Throughout the practice sessions, assistants and instructors ensure varied teaching methods to give students a more diverse experiences.


Attendance is compulsory. The assistants are checking if each student is active during each session.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

The general schedule of events is communicated through the CELCAT, display and/or myULiège portal. Any changes is communicated to students' delegates (e-mail, telephone contact), and by posting a message left on myULiège. Students are therefore advised to read the notice to the billboard (Building B21) for each day before practices. Students are also strongly recommended them to consult their ULiège-mail regularly (if they use a different email address, it would be necessary that they implement an automatic relay for academics messages to this address).

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

In yellow code (ADEPS sports environment protocol), activities can proceed normally in accordance with health protocols. The evaluation is also proceeding normally.
In code orange, an alternation between face-to-face and distance learning. The evaluation will include an online part (work, exercises on the platforms provided) and another face-to-face part.
In red code, continuous face-to-face evaluations that may have taken place beforehand will be counted and associated with the online evaluation (assignments and exams).

Recommended or required readings

They are few written material. When it is the case, a copy is posted on myULg.

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

The score for this course covers all practical activities planned during the two semesters. It is the result of a calculation based on the scores obtained in the different families of activities. The arithmetic mean is modulated according to the potential weaknesses or a possible bonus linked to the practice of high level sport and taking into account the rate of active attendance.
In each family activity, the assessment is based on the quality of services provided throughout the year on the involvement of the student as well as the results achieved during the evaluation sessions scheduled according to a planning contained in the courses. The specific evaluation criteria for each category of activity are provided orally by the assistants. Students may request additional information at any time. Similarly, teachers can organize oral or written questions, unscheduled, and on the content taught in previous sessions. The results of these evaluations may be included in the assessment of a sports family.
A student who has not met in the minimal results in a family of activities on the first semester can pass again the evaluations organized at the end of the second semester. The details are explained to the students during the introcutory session and may subsequently be obtained from the course holder, assistants and/or external monitors.
Even supported by a medical certificate, a "non-participation" in the assessment tests entail an extension of these to the next session. In exceptional circumstances, an alternative test can be arranged.
