That's a Wrap

Well, this is the final post from me as part of the Sport Coaching Pedagogy unit for 2012.

And what a fitting topic presented by Keith to wrap up this experience in personal development pathways. Throughout this assessment I think I have, like a lot of my classmates, had their eyes opened to the benefits of blogging and  the advantages to be had by engaging in this self directed (but still helpfully guided by Keith) type of learning environment.

I think the video below addresses exactly the kind of thing Keith talked about a lot throughout the duration of the course. The focus is shifting from lecturers 'lecturing' students to an environment where students and teachers are working together and becoming produsers.


With all this information out there now, there is sure to some that can't be definitively proven (I'm sure there is plenty in my own blog's!), but the fact that someone has put forward a new idea that can be accessed by anyone who wishes to I think is the key point. After all, as I discussed in my previous blogs, coaches and players are never a finished products, so whatever information they can get, no matter how obscure, as long as it helps, is beneficial.

Thanks again for reading, I hope you enjoyed.

Cheers, Leigh.

  1. Hello, Leigh

    You have survived two units with me!

    Thank you for this articulate blog. I particularly like the way you have linked to other students' work.

    I like the idea that a blogger can write whenever the opportunity arises and I appreciate the transparent way you have shared your thoughts.

    I found your discussion of the expert pedagogue intriguing and I went off to revisit some of these ideas. I am hopeful there are expert pegagogues who embody remarkable practice ... rather like I hope there is a Father Christmas.

    Thank you for choosing this unit. I am hopeful that at this stage in your degree course it provides a platform for transformation and leadership.

    I remain just an email away.

    Keith
