The less boring
stuff…
Group Activity
• Split yourselves up into small groups

• You are then asked to discuss, and address, the same question from
this time last year:

What is sport psychology?

Group Activity
• Using the same piece of paper, you are now asked to discuss, and
address, the following question:

What does ‘good’ sport psychology

provision look like?
Group Activity
• And finally, using the same piece of paper, you are now asked to
discuss, and address, the following question:

How do we know when ‘good’ sport

psychology provision is in place?
 What is meant by the term 'stakeholder'
when we think about sport psychology
practice?

What 'stakeholders' can you think of who a

sport psychologist might work with?
Group Activity
Where (and how) might different
stakeholder groups access useful
information about sport
psychology and the services that a
sport psychologist can provide?

Can you find some relevant

examples?

See the module Moodle page for:
• Assessment criteria (in the module handbook)
• Assignment brief and Assessment criteria grid ((these break the assessment
requirements down further and outline how marks are allocated across the different
subsections for each assignment)
• Assignment Panopto videos (these summarise the above information in bitesize form)
Negotiated Assessment
• Your task requires you to collaborate in a group to design and develop a presentation or resource which
promotes the utilisation of a sport psychologist to a specified sporting audience, organisation and/or their
associated stakeholders.
• The format your group adopt for this assessment is to be determined between your group members and the
module teaching team, and suggested formatting examples are provided on the following slide.
• Irrespective of the format adopted however, it is essential that your group’s assessment seeks to address the
corresponding marking criteria in a clear and comprehensive manner.
• Upon doing so, you should ensure that your assessment identifies the potential roles and responsibilities of a
sport and/or exercise psychologist, considers how they might contribute effectively as part of a
multidisciplinary team, and outlines the strategies and approaches they might look to adopt when seeking to
maximise their value and impact to an organisation.
• Accordingly, this assessment will also require you to consider how sport psychology and a sport
psychologist’s services can be promoted effectively to various audiences or stakeholder groups (such as
coaches, parents or athletes etc.) and you are encouraged to consider this when seeking to identify an
appropriate assessment format.
Negotiated Assessment
• As this is a negotiated assessment, each group is free to choose how they want to be
assessed. There are a number of different formats to consider, and your group’s final
decision must be negotiated and agreed with your module tutor(s).

• Suggested examples of suitable formats include:

• Educational workshop or presentation (delivered live)
• Pre-recorded workshop or presentation (including any necessary editing)
• Audio/video podcast episode or series
• Infographic series and accompanying written justification

• The module teaching team are more than happy to discuss these suggested formatting
options or any other ideas that you wish to propose and can offer guidance on how to
approach each one in an appropriate and beneficial manner.
