ESHE 294 - Motor Development

Credits: (3)

Instructional Method: Two hours lecture; two hours laboratory.
Designed for students to study changes during childhood in motor behavior, which reflect the interaction of the mover with the demands of the movement task and the contextual features of the environment. Insights concerning how to effectively work with young children in preschool-5th grade are highlighted. Emphasis will be placed on student knowledge of the guidance principles and standards of childhood motor development. Much of the information in this course will compliment material that will be presented in ESHE 380: Methods of Teaching Elementary Physical Education and ESHE 384: Methods of Teaching Secondary Physical Education.
