Course Search
Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:
- Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
- Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
- Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
- Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)
If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.
PED 315: Motor Development
3 credits
Provide the knowledge base to understand motor skill development across the lifespan. Examines the dynamic interaction between cognitive, social, and perceptual motor development in the overall motor development of children, emphasizing observing and analyzing the movement behavior and performance of children with application to developmentally appropriate movement experiences.
Learning Goals
Scholarship:1. Through exams and quizzes students will demonstrate the ability to identify and describe theoretical concepts underlying motor skill development. (NCATE/NASPE 1.3)2. Through exams and quizzes students will demonstrate the ability to discuss the dynamic relationship among individual, task and environmental constraints in the emergence of motor development (NCATE/NASPE 1.3)3. Through completion of assignments and analysis papers students will demonstrate the ability to analyze tasks (games and activities) as a function of the dynamic relationship among the individual, task and environmental constraints (NCATE/NASPE 1.3)4. Through completion of assignments and analysis papers students will demonstrate the ability to analyze the cognitive and perceptual motor abilities challenged in an activity and identify the critical elements needed for participation (NCATE/NASPE 1.2,1.5)5. Through exams and assignments students will demonstrate the ability to analyze motor behaviors in infants and children reflecting critical elements of developmental stages (NCATE/NASPE 1.5, 1.1)6. Through writing assignments and activities, students will demonstrate the ability to organize thoughts and communicate them through written expression.
