Profile
Physical education (PE) is important to the long-term physical, social, emotional, and intellectual health of our children. The Physical Education with Biology degree involves three strands of study—PE, Biology, and Education Studies—all of which will be put into working context in your extensive school placement. The PE element of the course pairs psychological, biomechanical, and sociological theory, with practical instruction on how PE is taught through games, aquatics, gymnastics, dance, athletics, and outdoor adventure education.
In the Biology modules, you’ll study mammalian anatomy and physiology, cell biology, genetics, health, and junior cycle physics and chemistry, and put your theoretical knowledge into practice through laboratory work. You’ll also learn how best to teach Biology to students. Education Studies integrates educational theory and practice through ‘coaching rather than teaching’, which involves group work, reflective diaries, online reporting and reflection, case studies, and other problem-based learning approaches.
