Course context for academic year 2021-22
The Motor Development and Learning subject is part of the group of subjects of basic training that is taught in the first semester of the first year of the degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences. In it, the motor evolution of the human being is studied throughout his life, the growth and maturation processes, and in parallel, the affective, cognitive and social factors that affect the acquisition of motor competence.
This subject is based on Evolutionary Psychology and Neuromotricity, analyzing the structure of motor behavior and its relationship with the neural network. From the learning of the first motor gestures and their development, the variables that influence motor control are studied. To do this, we deepened the biomechanical and physiological bases of the human movement, as well as the principles of the psychopedagogy of physical activity and sport.
The analysis of the wealth of the motor behavior of the individual will be approached, using instruments and methodologies of motor evaluation, from the simple observation to the notational analysis of the movement. This analysis will have a double objective, motor education and motor reeducation for special populations.
From an understanding of the basic motor variables involved in the formation of the body schema, the psychobiological and transference processes will be studied, in relation to the acquisition and development process of motor skills and basic skills.
