posted on 2024-09-06, 08:11 authored by Angela Hibbs, Rick Hayman, Elizabeth Fox, Sean Wilson, Matthew Timmis, David Stephens, Remco PolmanFew studies have investigated teaching and learning experiences of university sports students which is surprising considering the high annual numbers recruited to sport degree programmes and consequent non-completion rates. This study compared teaching and learning experiences of 350 first-year sport students at a post-92 English University with how they were taught at their further education institutions. Key findings showed the teaching and learning methods at university were less structured and tutor-led but with more teaching staff involved. Practical implications for developing rich modes of university provision that best support the needs and expectations of newly arrived sports students are provided.
