About Fiona

Extensively experienced, with 20 years demonstrated history of working in the education industry. This award winning lecturer in Psychology (all subjects) and (BPS) Chartered Sport & Exercise Psychologist has taught all levels of teaching from post graduate to A level and below. As a dynamic, enthusiastic, and quietly confident person, this lecturer is an excellent communicator (including oral, written and presentation skills), who through her extensive experience and use of innovative methods believes in making sessions engaging and fun. As a professional performance psychologist, this lecturer knows how to not only motivate students but through specialist techniques bring the best and optimal performance out of everyone.

About the lesson

My motto is - inspire, engage and bring optimal performance! Throughout my twenty years experience as a lecturer there are two main things that help inspire students. What really works is using research-based teaching techniques and the teacher relationship with the students. Choice for students is paramount - where many learning activities are available to students they're designed to meet the many diverse learning experiences they have (including the four C's of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity). Authentic learning happens when students are allowed to engage with this and there is shift in focus from a teacher-centred classroom to a student-centred one - so that the teacher becomes a guide and a support on the side - which opens up opportunities to coach, mentor, nurture and inspire. For example, by dividing students in a class into smaller units and providing them with a "menu" for a task (e.g. providing various case study problems to choose from, or a simulated learning task such as, pretending to be a "practitioner" in sport and interviewing a "client" and providing the information required for helping the "client" in terms of interventions and skills available) - through choice and the four C's. In this way, students all complete the objectives of the task by doing this. This means learning focuses on the student rather than on the teacher lecturing to them in the traditional way. Also providing students with tasks for self-reflective learning is crucial (e.g. writing self-reflective logs, reports, movies, posters, etc,) - innovation in teaching techniques makes learning fun. This allows me to listen to the students' thinking. Bringing in "real world" examples through e.g., case studies too helps engage the student. Most importantly is my passion and enthusiasm for the subject matter whilst engaging with and teaching the students. Also having a good teaching plan is important as is having effective use of technology (using a variety of means of online learning e.g. whiteboard etc.) Finally, by caring for the students I teach this helps inspire and motivate them. By being down to earth, having the ability to laugh at myself and taking the time to show interest in every student - shows I care.

Hi Beno,
Great chatting to you yesterday etc. Okay two main text books that you can either buy or obtain through inter-library loan are:-
The Foundations of Sport & Exercise Psychology (any recent edition!) by Weinberg & Gould (maybe buy this) - published by Human Kinetics.
Advances in Sport Psychology (again recent editions!) by T. Horn. Human Kinetics also - (is great for research material) and although quite a tough read - it is great for playing the devils advocate and presenting both sides of the argument in terms of how effective an intervention is - excellent for your critical evaluation. The Weinberg book is great too for the theoretical material. Both excellent books!
Also just to confirm we will use Face Time on Friday at 2:30 - so just contact me then for your first session. Ensure you have either your laptop or at least pen and paper at hand!
Best Wishes,
Fiona
