Presentation
The CU explores psychomotor praxis throughout the life cycle (babies to elderly), preventive, educational, and reeducational-therapeutic practices, in situations of typical and atypical development, that is, depending on the diversity of the population, age, and pathology of psychomotor expression.
Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
1. Know the fundamentals of systemic, cognitive, and psychodynamic approaches applied to psychomotor practice in different stages of the life cycle and in different disorders of psychomotor expression;
2. Acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge appropriate to the psychomotor practice in the educational, preventive, re-educational, and therapeutic domains, in different stages of the life cycle;
3. Acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge appropriate to psychomotor practice in the reeducational and therapeutic domains, in a therapeutic clinical context, in different disorders of psychomotor expression;
4. Select, define, justify, and apply practices of psychomotor intervention in different stages of the life cycle and in situations of typical and atypical development.
5. Know the specifics of psychomotor approaches and multidisciplinarity of methods and mediations used in psychomotor practice according to the diversity of the population, age, and pathology.

Contents
1. Fundamentals and theoretical concepts that support the psychomotor practice understood, justified, and thought: theoretical approaches, theoretical concepts, and classic reference authors (eg., Brazelton, Winnicott, Bowlby, Erickson)
2. Different psychomotor practices and types of psychomotor intervention depending on:
(i) the educational-preventive, re-educational and therapeutic guidelines,
(ii) the therapeutic intention,
(iii) from the point of the maturational process,
(iv) age (baby, child, adolescent, adult, elderly person) and

Teaching Methods
The classes take place during the second semester. The plenary lectures are supported by audio-visual means which transmits scientific knowledge and encourages the critical attitude and the reflection/ thought of the students. The questioning method will be privileged, in order to promote greater participation of the students, as well as to know the acquisition of knowledge by them. The approach to the theoretical subjects will be complemented by the practical classes, which take place in the gym and aquatic environment.
The student assessment will be done through two processes: individual assignments and group assignments. A percentage-based system will be used for the final grade assignment. The final grade should be more than (≥ 9.5), or they can choose for a final Exam (Final grade ≥ 9.5).
