Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Assessment aims to verify the acquisition of knowledge and the development of competencies related to the practice and teaching of alpine skiing. The practical component assesses technical proficiency and motor execution, while the theoretical component evaluates understanding of safety principles, teaching methodology and practice organization. Assessment reflects the integration of technical knowledge and pedagogical application, valuing the capacity to intervene in real learning contexts. In this way, students are expected to demonstrate not only an understanding of the modality, but also the ability to apply appropriate methodological and pedagogical principles in initiation activities.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
