Objectives

The choreographic activities with musical support offer the possibility of physical practice in the educational context with the aim of the student discovering different forms of movement and expression. The choreographic activities allow us to work as a team in which the body and movement are key elements for the knowledge and control of space with the coordination of different musical styles.

The learning objectives are:

• Get started in a fun way in the field of physical activity with a musical base.
• Incorporate the necessary resources to be able to move with ease in any educational sector that involves physical activity based on music.
• Design a musical choreography based on teamwork.
• Develop, practice and evaluate choreographic activities based on programming units.
• Participate in a sporting event with a choreography of your own making.

Learning outcomes

• S1.1.1. Plan physical activity programs focused on body expression and choreographic activities appropriate to the needs of the area and the users involved.
• S2.1.1. Develop physical activity programs focused on body expression and choreographic activities appropriate to the needs of the field and the users involved.
• C2.1.1. Know how to apply the knowledge to work and in the vocation in a professional way and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the preparation and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems in the own area of study.

Content

The contents worked on in this subject are:

• Concept and generalities of physical activities with musical support in the educational field

• Body expression and choreography as tools for self-knowledge
• Implementation of choreographic activities in physical education programming units
• Planning, preparation and evaluation of choreographic activities based on physical education learning situations
• Designing a choreography based on teamwork
• Staging of a musical choreography

Evaluation

The evaluation of the subject consists of:

• Creation and performance of a group choreography: 25%, non-refundable activity
• Planning and creation of a programming unit: 35%, recoverable activity
  • Planning and creating a programming unit + planning 3 sessions of this unit + evaluation instrument: 25%
  • Co-evaluation of the sessions carried out at the educational center: 10%
• Activities in class: 20%, recoverable activity
• Collection of activities: 20%, recoverable activity

Attendance at 90% of the practical classes (pass / fail) is required.

Recoverable activities can be recovered during the closure and recovery weeks marked in the calendar.

The maximum mark that can be accessed in a recovery activity is 5 (out of 10).

Methodology

Class sessions

• Practical sessions taught by the teacher
• Transmission of practical content
• Realization of practical evaluation situations

Directed work sessions

• Follow-up of choreographic productions in small groups
• Realization of theoretical and practical activities
• Putting into practice a choreography in small groups and coordinated with the whole class group

Tutoring sessions

• Tutoring is offered whenever necessary, both in individual work and in groups to deal with and share practical and theoretical work from day to day.

The student is the center of the learning process, he is the protagonist. Learning is based on one's own practice and experiential experience. That is why much of the subject is practical.

In addition, 3 practical sessions are given in educational centers in the area to bring the teaching experience closer to the students in a real context.
