IDR217 Applied Sport Practice

On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to:

• Understand how sports (i.e., electronic and traditional/conventional) teams, clubs and organisations function in practice
• Evaluate existing practices in teams/clubs/organisations in light of research-based knowledge
• Apply research-based knowledge in work with clubs/teams/organisations
• Contribute to the development of established practices through innovation work
• Reflect on and evaluate their own practices in coaching and leadership work
• Reflect on the importance of voluntarism in sports and e-sport ecosystems.

The course is centred around practice, but will also include lectures, seminars, and presentations. Opportunities for practice work will be presented by the coordinator of the course, and the work is typically located in the Kristiansand/Agder region. The students may find their own practice place, which must be approved by the coordinator of the course before the start of the practice period. Practice can be conducted internally (e.g. in the e-sports lab at the university) or externally (e.g. in sport organisation/sports clubs).

Expected student workload for the average student is 270 hours.
