Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

1 Understand the importance of Education and Physical Motor-Expression Motor for the global development of the child;
2. Analyze individual and sociocultural factors which influence the motor development of children;
3. Understand the importance of playful-motor activities to promote health and healthy lifestyles;
4. Study the stages of infant motor development;
5. Knowing the genesis of fundamental motor skills;
6. Learn some principles of motor learning;
7. Knowing the pedagogical areas of intervention in Physical Education (PE);
8 Learn to design motor tasks that meet the diverse number of areas of pedagogical intervention in PE;
9 Learn to manipulate the complexity of motor tasks in order to differentiate instruction according to the level of perceptual-motor performance of children;
10 Developing skills of pedagogical intervention and analyze them critically through simulated teaching situations;
11 Explore the potential of interdisciplinary through motor activities.

Teaching Methods

Oral transmission of contents and discussion in groups on topics with a more reflective orientation
Body experience of ludic-motor activities and their critical analysis
Research, conception of motor tasks and their practical presentation,in a simulated teaching situation

Continuous assessment regime:
AC1 (60%)Group work consisting of research, planning and practical presentation of a selection of motor tasks for the development of a particular area of PE intervention in Basic Education
AC2 (40%)Theoretical-practical work (individual or in groups) carried out during classes or proposed for autonomous work

Final assessment regime:
AF1 (60%) Written test
AF2 (40%) Group work consisting of research, planning and practical presentation of a selection of motor tasks for the development of a particular area of PE intervention in Basic Education (the same of AC1,c.f. point 6, art.110 RAUE)

Is necessary obtain the minimum of 10 values, in either of the two evaluation components
