SportPsychoMovies
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The target group of the project „SportPsychoMovies“ are senior students of three European schools (Germany, England and Finland) who are interested in movies and sports as well as teachers who want to improve the quality of their lessons by using new media. The content goal of the project is a vivid and sustainable acquisition of basic knowledge in sport psychology. During a six-week film project different core themes such as motivation, anxiety and stress, concentration, team cohesion, leadership, self-talk, relaxing and mental training are dealt with during the lessons. Each homogeneous group within a school work on one chapter of an English fundamental work (Weinberg R./ Gould D., Foundations of Sport & Exercise Psychology) and develop a presentation to introduce the respective topic. This presentation will be presented online to all participants as a webinar and will be discussed afterwards. After that, the film that is particularly linked to these theoretical concepts and models will be shown in the partner schools. By analysing the film the different work groups which presented the respective theory use film scenes to support and illustrate the theoretical background. There will be a subsequent discussion (chatroom, e-mail) and students will work together in mixed groups to complete different tasks that show whether they are able to apply the contents on different situations and problems. This collaboration across national borders will be controlled and documented on the moodle platform. Thus the group work can be supported and evaluated by the supervising teacher. For each topic simple diagnostic tools will be provided, which enable the students to self-reflect. By answering, evaluating and interpreting those tools the different contents will be further deepened and consolidated. The portfolio with all the material (moodle platform) and work results forms the basis for the final evaluation. The methodological and didactic goal is it to organise and evaluate web-based lessons with European partners. Therefore the participants should acquire the skills and tools during the first year of the project by taking part in three student-workshops with the topics powerpoint, rhetorical skills and working with videos. These skills enable them to meet the requirements that are necessary to implement the online lessons and thus the collaboration among the schools. The experiences they gain and their impressions during the project will be further deepened in the second year with the help of two teachers workshops (“Working with films“, “The good Webinar“) with the aim to make such working methods a permanent feature of the lessons in the participating schools. Other teachers of these schools should also be given new ideas for their lessons. Finally the improvement of the students’ language competence through the process of working together and dealing with European neighbours should be seen as a preparation for the requirements the students will be faced with in future on the European job market.
