AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the module, the student will have acquired theoretical and practical knowledge related to the discipline of Judo, including the history, rules, behaviors and fundamental techniques. These skills will allow to:

• Analyze and interpret the performance model of Judo as a combat sport and as an educational activity
• Develop and consolidate a respectful, collaborative and responsible attitude towards the learning environment and the people with whom one interacts, in compliance with the rules and values of the discipline
• Adopt and promote hygienic-health behaviors and healthy lifestyles, appropriate to the needs of physical activity, acquiring the skills to transmit these habits to future students
• Propose and safely conduct opposition exercises and games, useful for the psycho-physical development of students, with particular attention to didactic progression and relational aspects
• Perform and know how to correctly teach the main falling techniques ( ukemi ), which are fundamental for the prevention of impact injuries and for the education of motor control and the management of physical contrast situations

TEACHING METHODS

The course includes frontal lessons for the theoretical part and practical judo activities , with group work , case analysis And applied design . The goal is to train figures capable of integrating the basic principles and techniques of judo with the motor, educational and relational skills required in school, recreational and sports contexts.

During the module, students will be involved in the realization of motor activities starting from a real or simulated case study. Participants will be divided into groups and, in parallel with the development of practical lessons, they will have to:

• Choose independently the activity to be proposed, applying the methods and/or exercises learned during the lessons
• Design a basic judo motor activity , consistent with the defined educational objectives
• Demonstrate practically the planned activity, sharing didactic, methodological and operational choices
• Critically discuss the results of analysis, comparing oneself with peers
• Learn to self-assess and evaluate your classmates' suggestions

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The Judo module exam is divided into two parts:

1. Practical Test
   This test will take place at the end of the Judo lessons and is preparatory to the written exam. Only students who have attended at least 70% of the scheduled lessons are eligible to take the practical test.

   The test requires the correct execution of selected techniques learned during the course, including:

   • Falling techniques (ukemi): performed individually in various directions—backward, forward, sideways, rolling forward, and rolling backward;

   • Throwing and ground control techniques: performed in pairs, demonstrating coordination and cooperation with a partner.

   To pass the practical test, students must demonstrate a minimum level of motor coordination and ensure maximum safety for themselves and their partner.

2. Written Test
   This consists of a multiple-choice questionnaire with 11 questions, each with only one correct answer.

   • Duration: 11 minutes (14 minutes for students entitled to extra time).

   • Passing score: At least 6 correct answers out of 11, which corresponds to a grade of 18/30.

The score from the Judo module will be averaged with those from the Athletics and Gynnastic modules to determine the final grade for the course.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

• he practical test is designed to assess the student's technical and motor skills, specifically their mastery of the module’s “specific know-how”. In particular, the test will evaluate the ability to:

  • Perform safe falling techniques in various directions of imbalance;

  • Apply Judo techniques with control, respect, and awareness, ensuring the safety and integrity of both oneself and one's partner.

• The written test is intended to verify the theoretical knowledge acquired during the course.

Students with certified specific learning disorders (DSA), disabilities, or other special educational needs are entitled to the provisions established by current University regulations (see guidelines).

These students are encouraged to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course to agree on appropriate teaching and examination methods. These arrangements will respect the learning objectives while taking into account individual learning needs and will include any compensatory and/or dispensatory tools recognized by the University's DSA Student Service.
