Motor Skills Development through Physical Education

ECTS Value: 6 ECTS

Contact Hours: 30

Self Study Hours: 72

Assessment Hours: 48

Overall Objectives and Outcomes

This module deals with the teaching and assessment of Fundamental Movement skills and sport skills. It aims to make course participants proficient in each of these skills to be able to teach them to their learners. It will enable course participants to identify the level of the learners and to help them to progress to achieve motor competence with the required progressions. Course participants will seek to make motor learning fun as they embed these skills within games to enjoy learning and to suit their preferred ways of learning.

By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:

Competences

a. Create lessons to develop motor development catering for different levels;
b. Carry out all movement skills with poise and coordination;
c. Establish a combination of movements composed of two more skills in a fluid manner;
d. Determine and perform the appropriate skill within a physical education activity.

Knowledge

a. Systematically appreciate the different categories of motor development;
b. Draw on each category of motor development and relate how motor development leads to a more active and healthy lifestyle;
c. Draw on different movement concepts and skill themes;
d. Describe the classification of motor skills;
e. Define physical literacy and systematically recognise the contribution it makes to a physically active and healthy lifestyle.

Skills

a. Apply fundamental movement skills and sports skills within different physical activities;
b. Demonstrate poise and coordination in the various movement skills within the various sports;
c. Design various activities that will enable learners to perform the required motor skills;
d. Create progressions for the different motor skills for the different stages of skill development;
e. Create and individualise learning experiences for the different levels of learners within a class.

Assessment Methods

This programme adopts continuous and summative methods of assessment including assignments, online tasks, reflective journals, projects and video presentations. For further details, kindly refer to the Teaching, Learning and Assessment Policy and Procedures.
