| Description: |
Students will examine the dynamic interaction among neurological, cognitive, perceptual-motor and social development as they relate to normal and abnormal motor development and impact developmental delays. Emphasis is on the application of motor development concepts through analysis of age-appropriate movement experiences and movement behaviors of children. |
| Learning Goals: |
Learning Goals:1. Through article summaries and exams students will demonstrate the ability to identify and describe theoretical concepts underlying motor development and the influence on overall development. 2. Students will be able to identify and discuss changes in neurological developmental and the impact on developmental stages of cognitive, and perceptual-motor abilities. 3. Students will be able to discuss the dynamic relationship between motor development and cognitive, perceptual-motor, and social development as they relate to normal development and developmental delays. 4. Through exams and analysis assignments students will be able to identify and describe the qualitative and quantitative changes in developmental stages of cognitive, perceptual-motor, and social abilities. 5. Through visitations and analysis of children’s behavior students will demonstrate the ability to analyze the motor behaviors of children at play and identify critical elements of developmental stages of cognitive and perceptual-motor abilities with respect to children with and without disabilities.6. Through completion of the analysis papers students will demonstrate the ability to analyze elementary games and activities according to the cognitive and perceptual-motor abilities challenged in the game and identify the critical elements needed for successful participation 7. Through exams and analysis assignments students will be able to demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge of changes in cognitive, social, and perceptual-motor abilities to modifying and teaching developmentally appropriate activities. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
