17810 - Development Age Motor Activities TTD

Learning outcomes

 

This course is essential in all the motor and sport activity fields in which youth  people are involved. Methodology, didactics, communication and relationship must be well-known and used in different and dynamic situation with reference to the different ages.  The choice of theory, technique and methodology is conditioned by development stage from infancy to adulthood and involve the different  educational roles  (teacher, trainer, instructor, entertainer).

Aim of the Course is to stimulate student's attitude towards open professionalism in sport and physical education's field, that are always in progress.

Knowledge and skill must be focused on the following expertise:

·         relationship expertise: correct use of communication skill as regards the different youth's development age. Correct use of teaching approach in the general educational situation and in the particular didactic setting.

·         Didactics expertise: correct use of methods and exercises  as regards to the teaching program and objectives, let alone the different youth ages.

·         Subject expertise: correct use of subject's knowledge in order to the different teaching component (objectives, programming, evaluation) .

·         Practice expertise: correct use of educational flexibility in the Physical and Sport education class organization (setting, spaces, times, exercises, tools, Physical Education and sport facilities).

1)      Motor activity

1a) Epistemology :

The Term: Gymnastic. Physical Education (PE). Body Education. Psyco-kinetics edu cation. Psycho- motor Education.

Educational route[ *]: Physical training. Physical Education. Welfare Education. Education through movement .

1b) Motor activities classification:

Spontaneous motricity. Relationship motricity. Educational motricity. Sport motricity.

Spontaneous/natural movement. Voluntary movement. Educational movement. Artificial movement.

Cyclical/continuous movement. Acyclical/non continuous movement. Cyclical/acyclical combination.

1c) Motricity factors

Sensory motor system. [*]  Proprioception and movement. Exteroception and movement. The postural schema. The movement schema. The gross motor skill. Feedback and movement education.

The motor abilities.  Coordination abilities.  Physical abilities.  Flexibility .

1d) Motor development in youth age.  Motor schema ontogenesis: walking, running, throwing, climbing, jumping, rolling. Movement combination stage: subsequent movement combination and parallel movement combination. Physical education and cognitive development  from stage of concrete thought to the stage of abstract thought. Coordinative and physical load in development age.

2)      Development  stage and body perception.

First and second infancy. Childhood. Puberty. Adolescence.  Body schema development. Body schema and skills acquisition. Brain dominance and motor laterality. Body image perception. Static and dynamic body perception.

3)      Methodology and didactics

Educational situation (teaching-learnin context).  Education concept. Educational relationship. Educational method. Educational comunication (reinforce-sanction, scaffolding-fading). Didactics comunication (explanation, correction, organization, feedback).

Subject didactics. Methods classification: open/closed method. Task presentation method. Teaching style.  

Didactic setting.   The teacher. The learner. The exercise. The time. The environment. The PE equipment. The objects and program. The training/class organizzation. 

The PE task proposal:  exercise – exercise application (route, circuit training, random circuit) – recreational application – play and game.

Equipment and tool. [ *]

4)      Motor abilities and skill .

Motor skills vs motor abilities - Open/closed skills – General/tecnical/tactical skills -  cyclical/acyclical/combinate skill – Skills teaching-learning.

The movement control: open/closed loop – evolution of Adams' schema theory on the Schmidt's Schema theory - Intrinsic/extrinsic Feedback and skill control – knowledge of result and knowledge of performance in the feedback integration.  Learning skill stage.

5)      Play and game.

Play as educational proposal . Game classification (POS, Caillois, Parlebas) - Game and play application - From non oriented simple play to the oriented complex play - Stategies and tactics in play - Competitive/non competitive play - The Sport-play for children.

 

6)      Learning experience

The PE or sport session[ *] -  The session stage – Session ‘s organization – Exercises modulation – Variability – Intensity – Orientation – Suitability  - Learning target – Didactics progression (simple to complex – easy to difficult – know to unknow) – Hierachical programming – modular programming.

7. HEALTH CARE IN DEVELOPMENTAL AGE

7.1 The psychomotor development in the developmental age:

The motor development.  Fundamental motor skill development (gross motor activity and fine motor activity):  catching, carrying, handling, throwing, walking, running, climbing, jumping. The fundamental motor skill combination (serial, parallel, dissociation).  

The psychomotor development. The cognitive development and its influence on the motor activity (from the concrete thought to the deductive hypothetical thought). The affective development and its influence on the motor activity.

7.2 The prevention in the early sport practice:

The correct training stimulus  in the developmental age. [*] The cognitive training stimulus (attention, concentration, task).  The emotional training stimulus (motivation, interest) and the task/ego orientation. The coordinative  training stimulus (variability and versatility concept). The physical training stimulus:  the natural body-weight load, the artificial load and they corrected application in developmental  age.

7.3 Prevention and posture in developmental age: The posture concept. The posture  diagnosis in developmental  age (method, strategies and instruments). Posture and locomotor apparatus. Posture and visual apparatus.  Posture and masticatory apparatus.  Postural muscle chain concept.

Teaching methods

Interactive Lectures

Laboratory Lesson and personal Dossier production.

Short teaching experience in primary Italian school. (one morning or afternoon).

Assessment methods

Final exam will be performer by means of two trials

1)      Written examination (closed answer test): this trial to be based on the book “Scienze e motricità” as evaluation of the basic subject knowledge.

2)      Oral examination: this trial to be based on the whole program.

3)      Personal Dossier evaluation (at the same time of the oral examination). The dossier will make by the student on Teacher and tutor's indications.

The final evaluation to be based on the result of the three trial. The most important trial, of course, will be the oral exam.
