    Teaching methods and instruction

    The studies are conducted through face-to-face teaching. In Moodle, there are mandatory assignments that must be completed successfully with a sufficient number of points, and supplementary assignments that can improve one's assessment. Completing the assignments requires familiarization with the learning materials and literature relevant to one's field. Through various assignments, students are expected to plan and execute a comprehensive coaching process for two athletes, applying the theoretical concepts studied. The teacher guides the progress of the assignments during face-to-face classes and using the assessment criteria and evaluation matrix available on Moodle.
