Learning and teaching are supported throughout by a clear, wide-ranging set of features laid out across the Student Book and ActiveBook. ‘Getting to know your unit’ sections build genuine understanding of grading criteria and unit requirements from the outset, and ‘Getting ready for assessment’ sections prepare learners thoroughly for external assessment, with clear guidance on exactly what to expect when the assessment day arrives. Hints and tips help learners prepare properly for assessment, and sample answers are provided across a genuinely wide range of question types – short and long answer questions alike – each one backed by supporting commentary that explains why the answer works. Pause point features give learners regular opportunities to self-evaluate their own learning at set intervals, with each Pause point feature offering a Hint or Extend option to either revisit and reinforce a topic or pursue independent research and further study depending on what’s needed. Case study and Theory into practice features build genuine problem-solving skills by placing theoretical learning into real-life situations learners could realistically encounter. Assessment practice features provide scaffolded activities that help prepare learners properly for assessment, and within each activity a Plan, Do and Review section supports learners’ own formative assessment by making sure they fully understand the task, their goals, and how to evaluate and improve honestly. Literacy and numeracy activities provide further reinforcement in these key areas, placed firmly within a sport context throughout, and dedicated Think future pages bring in genuine industry case studies focused squarely on the kinds of skills development that translate directly into a real work environment and further study beyond the course.
