PEHR 3350 - Motor Learning and Development

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Physical Ed. Health & Rec

Description:

A study of how the development of physiological, perceptual, neurological, intellectual, and emotional factors affect motor learning. Knowledge from this course provides a framework for the establishment of programs that facilitate skill acquisition for all learners with a focus on children and adolescents. This course is required on most Exercise Science and/or Kinesiology degree plans. It is also a prerequisite for many graduate programs in Exercise Science, or physical/occupational therapy. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Distinguish how the disciplines of motor development, motor learning, and motor control interrelate for an understanding of motor behavior across the lifespan, through class discussions, and exams, at the introductory and developmental levels. 2. Analyze aspects of physical growth and aging that affect the acquisition and maintenance of fitness and motor skills across the lifespan through class discussions, observations, quizzes, and exams, at the developmental level. 3. Analyze aspects of perceptual development that affect the acquisition and maintenance of fitness and motor skills across the lifespan through class discussions, observations, quizzes, and exams, at the developmental level. 4. Analyze social and cultural constraints associated with motor and fitness development across the lifespan through class discussions & interview activities, at the developmental level. 5. Differentiate factors associated with motor learning theory (e.g., movement preparation, attention, arousal, practice design), through class discussions, scenarios, and exams, at the introductory and developmental levels. 6. Research a selected topic, and apply new knowledge, in a practical way, to a contemporary issue in the field of health, physical education, or sport, at the mastery level. FA
