Learning Goals
It is intended that students know/understand:
-models and contexts of action in/of psychomotricity and adapted physical activity
-the development of motor skills/abilities and psychomotor factors in children
-the development of graphomotor skills in children
-the relationship between psychomotricity and symbolic learning
It is intended that students acquire the following competencies/skills:
-adaptation of several didactic-pedagogical variables to promote the inclusion of students with special needs in physical-motor activities, physical education and school sports
-implementation of activities to promote graphomotor skills
-implementation of psychomotor activities for promoting learning
-ability to observe and assess children's motor skills

Teaching Methods
The lessons value the inquiry of meaningful information and the analysis and discussion of supporting documents (e.g., texts and videos), stimulating students' critical thinking. Lessons are carefully aligned with the resources available in moodle (many of them in video format and web pages) to promote their autonomy and asynchronous learning. Various application/intervention activities will be carried out, including the planning of activities aimed at specific contexts and populations within the scope of special education. Continuous assessment consists of 3 reflection / application works (100%) on the themes developed in class. Continuous assessment consists of 3 reflection / application works [33.3(3)% by work] on the themes developed in class. The final evaluation regime corresponds to a final test (100%) that covers all the contents taught in the curricular unity.
