AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Acquisition of basic skills related to the methods and techniques of motor activity. Understanding of physiological and biomechanical processes at the base of the motor skill learning facilities. Knowledge of the principles of skilled human performance.

At the end of the course, you will have to:

• Evaluate the child's motor patterns during the practical lesson
• Build / design motor intervention strategies according to developmental age groups
• Describe analytically the methodologies used for the different age groups
• Explain methods of intervention and motor programs underlying the teaching methodology
• Conduct motor interventions in subjects in developmental age

TEACHING METHODS

The course includes practical technical lessons (ATP) held in the gym.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The topics covered in the theoretical module are covered as practical applications as follows:

Motor skills in developmental age

Motor learning and the constituent aspects of movement

Didactic approaches in motor activity in developmental age

Figure and role of the teacher

Aspects of sports communication.

Feedback and reinforcement.

motor activity and body scheme

Role of motor activity in motor, cognitive and social development

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam will be practical and will focus on the creation and application of a motor intervention sheet for subjects in developmental age

This teaching is part of the integrated course of " Physical activity for health and prevention in developmental age” including:

• EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISEASES
• ORTHOPAEDIC PATHOLOGY IN DEVELOPMENTAL AGE
• SCIENCE AND TECHNIQUE OF MOTOR ACTIVITY IN DEVELOPMENTAL AGE
• ATP- SCIENCE AND TECHNIQUE OF MOTOR ACTIVITY IN DEVELOPMENTAL AGE

The exam will be considered passed with a score of 18/30.

The final grade of the integrated course will derive from the weighted average of the grades obtained in the 4 modules that are part of the integrated course.

In case of certification of specific learning disability, disability or other special educational needs, the University legislation and regulations on disability and SLD are applied (https://unige.it/disabilita-dsa/studenti-disabilit%C3% A0-normative).

See also the "Other information" section of this syllabus.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The practical exam will verify the acquisition of the basic knowledge of the teaching and will allow to evaluate the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in theoretical field. You will have to be able to connect and integrate the knowledge learned during the lessons with the knowledge acquired during individual study. The practical exam will mainly focus on the topics covered during ATP and will aim to evaluate not only the achievement of an adequate level of basic knowledge, but also the acquisition of the ability to conduct and plan a motor intervention for groups of subjects in developmental age as well as analyse critically the questions that will be asked during the exam.

FURTHER INFORMATION

In case of certification of specific learning disability, disability or other special educational needs, please contact both the School contact person, Prof. Nicola Girtler, and the lecturer at the beginning of the lectures to agree on teaching and exam methods which, in compliance of the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning methods and provide suitable compensatory/dispensatory tools recognized by the University SLD Student Service.
