Talent Development the Scandinavian Way 7.5 credits

About the course

Sport Education is a scientific discipline in which knowledge is created about the processes through which the human being is being formed and changed under social, cultural, and historical circumstances within the field of sports. The sport pedagogy field deals with, for example, various aspects of upbringing, socialisation, education, learning, teaching, governance, organisation and leadership or other processes. Questions can be raised, for example, about how and why certain values, knowledge, and skills are developed, how and why they are maintained, and how they vary within and between generations, groups and individuals.

The beginning of the course covers the Scandinavian sport systems' distinguishing characteristics and political and cultural elements. The course furthermore includes theoretical perspectives on talent identification and development, and their significance in Scandinavian sport, with a particular focus on pedagogical perspectives. Lastly, the course treats the implications of talent identification and development for leaders and athletes.
