Course overview
To build a body of knowledge whereby the student can interpret the theoretical basis of motor learning and control to undertake motor skill analysis and assessment, and to implement evidence-based motor skill training programs with consideration for the learner, skill characteristics, and environment. Students learn the role of the neuromuscular and sensory systems in relation to the control and learning of movement, and the theories that underpin the control and learning of movement. Students gain hands on experience in assessing motor function and implementing learning design factors to promote learning for a diverse range of future learners.
Course learning outcomes
- Describe the structure and function of the neuromuscular and sensory systems as they relate to the control of movement and motor learning
- Explain how motor function changes with practice and motor learning
- Identify appropriate techniques, with consideration of their strengths and limitations, to assess aspects of motor learning and motor control
- Explain the theories and principles associated with the control and learning of movement
- Apply suitable techniques to assess aspects of motor function
- Design motor learning environments and protocols that consider the stage of learner and factors that affect the acquisition and performance of motor skills
