Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2025-26

La asignatura de deportes individuales I está dirigida a la enseñanza de la natación y actividades acuáticas. La natación es uno de los deportes más importantes en los Juegos Olímpicos de la era moderna, siendo uno de los deportes olímpicos más antiguos, que han estado presente en todos los Juegos Olímpicos modernos desde Atenas 1896. Este deporte se realiza en el acuático, medio diferente al nuestro habitual, aspecto por el que se requieren de una serie de adaptaciones y habilidades acuáticas básicas para su correcto desarrollo. Para cursar la asignatura se recomienda un dominio básico del medio acuático: flotación, respiración y propulsión.

  • CG3.1 : Capacity to design, apply and evaluate high-quality processes, programs and projects in the fields of teaching, training and the promotion of health and recreational sport

 

Specific Competences

  • AC1.1 : Understand, develop and know how to apply the procedures, strategies, activities, resources, techniques and methods involved in the teaching-learning process efficiently, developing the whole course of action in all sectors of professional intervention in physical activity and sport (formal and informal physical-sports teaching; physical and sports training; physical exercise for health; management of physical activity and sport).
  • AC1.2 : Design and apply the methodological process comprising observation, reflection, analysis, diagnosis, implementation, technical-scientific evaluation and/or dissemination in different contexts and in all sectors of professional intervention in physical activity and sport.
  • AC1.4 : Adapt the educational intervention to the individual characteristics and needs of the whole population and with emphasis on special populations such as: schoolchildren, the elderly, people with reduced mobility and people with pathologies, health problems or similar (diagnosed and/or prescribed by a doctor), taking into account gender and diversity.
  • AC2.2 : Identify, communicate and apply scientific anatomical-physiological and biomechanical criteria at an advanced level of skills in the design, development and technical-scientific evaluation of procedures, strategies, actions, activities and appropriate guidance; to prevent, minimise and/or avoid a health risk in the practice of physical activity and sport in all types of population.
  • AC3.4 : Promote education, dissemination, information and constant guidance to individuals and leaders on the benefits, significance, characteristics and positive effects of the regular practice of physical activity and sport and physical exercise, of the risks and harm of inappropriate practice and of the elements and criteria that identify its appropriate execution, as well as information, guidance and advice on the possibilities of appropriate physical activity and sport in their environment in any sector of professional intervention.
  • AC4.1 : Fluently develop procedures and protocols to solve unstructured, unpredictable and increasingly complex problems, articulating and deploying a mastery of the elements, methods, processes, activities, resources and techniques that make up the basic motor skills, physical activities, sports skills, play, expressive body and dance activities, and activities in nature in an appropriate, efficient, systematic, varied and methodologically integrated way for the entire population and with emphasis on special populations such as: elderly people (senior citizens), schoolchildren, people with disabilities and people with pathologies, health problems or similar (diagnosed and/or prescribed by a doctor), taking into account gender and diversity and in any sector of professional intervention in physical activity and sport (formal and informal physical-sports teaching; physical and sports training; physical exercise for health; management of physical activity and sport).
  • AC4.2 : Fluently develop procedures and protocols to solve unstructured, unpredictable and increasingly complex problems, articulating and deploying a mastery of the elements, methods, procedures, activities, resources, techniques and processes of physical fitness and physical exercise in an adequate, efficient, systematic, varied and methodologically integrated way for the whole population and with emphasis on special populations such as: elderly people, schoolchildren, people with disabilities and people with pathologies, health problems or similar (diagnosed and/or prescribed by a doctor), taking into account gender and diversity and in any sector of professional intervention in physical activity and sport.
  • AC4.3 : Develop and implement the technical-scientific evaluation of the elements, methods, procedures, activities, resources and techniques that make up the manifestations of movement and the processes of physical fitness and physical exercise; taking into account the development, characteristics, needs and context of individuals, the different types of population and the spaces where physical activity and sport are carried out; in the various sectors of professional intervention and with emphasis on special populations.
  • AC5.1 : Analyse, diagnose and evaluate the elements, structure, situation and characteristics of all types of physical activity and sport organisations as well as the legislative and legal elements linked to physical activity and sport.
  • AC5.5 : Articulate and deploy advice, certification, and technical-scientific evaluation of physical activity and sport activities and resources in all physical activity and sport services, contexts, environments and sectors of professional intervention in physical activity and sport as well as in the design and drafting of technical reports in all physical activity and sport services.
  • AC6.3 : Articulate and deploy with rigour and scientific attitude the justifications on which to elaborate, support, substantiate and justify in a constant and professional manner all acts, decisions, processes, procedures, actions, activities, tasks, conclusions, reports and professional performance.

 

 

 

Learning outcomes (Training objectives)

  • Know and analyse the basic principles of swimming and other associated sports, as well as the structure and legal organisation of these sports.
  • Be able to demonstrate simple technical elements of swimming, as well as evaluate the execution of basic technical models in swimming.
  • Design teaching-learning progressions for the acquisition of the basic technical elements of swimming, including initiation to the different styles, adapting to the particular characteristics of the population with whom he/she is working.
  • To advise the population in relation to the technical, tactical and regulatory patterns of swimming, by means of an adequate scientific-technical foundation.
  • Know and transmit the technical, tactical and regulatory elements of swimming and other associated modalities, as well as the appropriate considerations that guarantee safe practice in the aquatic environment.
