As part of the project "Service-Learning in Sport Science - Physical Education during the COVID-19 pandemic", students of the Master of Education GHR and the Master of Education Gymnasium "Sport" are working on a current problem from school practice in the winter semester 2020/21 and summer semester 2021. Firstly, they will record the school sports situation in distance and face-to-face teaching using an online survey. Based on the data obtained, the students will develop needs-orientated offers for (sports) teachers, which consist of approaches for more exercise in everyday school life and teaching units for physical education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The service-learning approach offers students the opportunity to familiarise themselves with application-oriented research and at the same time apply the theories taught during their studies in practice. This project thus expands the teaching focus of "research-based learning" at the University of Oldenburg through a highly topical, application-oriented examination of a practical school problem.
The results of the service learning project developed by the students are freely available on the Instagram account schuleundbewegung_unioldenburg and on the Open Educational Resources platform for Lower Saxony (https://www.twillo.de/oer/web/) under the profile "Schule und Bewegung Universität Oldenburg": www.twillo.de/edu-sharing/components/collections.
The seminars take place under the direction of Kim Huesmann and Prof Dr Jörg Schorer (both from the "Sport and Exercise" department).
The service-learning project is funded by the "Teaching Innovation Plus" funding programme of the state of Lower Saxony.
