Learning outcomes |
The main objective of this Course is to provide students with knowledge and understanding of the issues at the level of growth, maturation, and motor development, targeted especially for children and adolescents.
• Demonstrate knowledge and ability to understand the movement and human behavior throughout life, in different stages of development.
• Show ability to understand the issues on the growth and maturation in the infant-juvenile population.
• Demostrate knowledge about the development of motor skills in the different stages of infant-juvenile population.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The type of classes in this UC is fundamentally of a theoretical-practical nature, with the presentation of the main contents by the teacher in order to create a debate on the subjects covered - the aim is to create an explorative learning environment, in which students interact with the teacher and between them, so the more theoretical contents will be presented using practical and concrete examples within the scope of motor development. In this sense, priority will be given to research, exposure and discussion of topics, promoting debate and exposure of students. Tools such as videos, topic discussion platforms, databases with relevant articles/information on the topics will be encouraged. Students will be asked to use some measuring instruments appropriate to the UC. In this sense, the assessment will comprise assessment sheets, in group work, which favor continuous study and discussion on the topics, a written test.
