Prerequisites:

The prerequisites of the course refer to secondary school knowledge in the fields of biological / scientific, logical-mathematical and physical education. In addition, the first year motor control and learning course together with the course of anatomy, represent an important prerequisite that is strongly recommended.

Objectives

The Student has to demonstrate to know the motor skill development at every stage of the life; he should know the fundamental theories for the development of an active lifestyle and the stages of talent development. Furthermore, he should know the specific methodologies of intervention with people of all ages in addition to the specific techniques and methodologies for preventive and compensatory interventions in particular if there are paramorphism and/or dimorphisms.He will, then, be able to assess the level of physical and motor activity and plan educational and preventive interventional protocols adapted to individual needs.Critical and judgment skills (Dublin Descriptor 3) will be developed through the didactic strategies used which include practical experiences in the gym and reflections on the exercises carried out.
The ability to communicate (Dublin 4 descriptor) what has been learned will be enhanced through group interaction and the design and programming of specific activity programs based on examples carried out in class.
The ability to continue the study autonomously over the course of life (descriptor of Dublin 5) is stimulated through the reference to scientific databases such as Scopus, WoS and Google Scholar and to the reference bibliography of each of the two courses in order to stimulate a Continuing Education process.

Contents

The contents of the Course are related to the preventive and adapted physical and motor activities in the different ages. The two courses are highly integrated as the theoretical and practical activities are developed simultaneously, for the various ages, in the two modules, with a greater educational emphasis in the first module and preventive and re-educational in the latter.(See specific contents of the modules of the integrated course)

Methods of Provision

Conventional

Teaching Methods

The course will be developed in a practical and theoretical form through open discussion and students’ participation in motor experiences and situations.Frontal lessons and practical activities in the gym will be provided.Frontal lessons will consist of discussions about the above-mentioned topics of the contents of the course, using visual instruments and stimulating students’ active participation. Video-registered material will be also analyzed and discussed.Gym activities will consist of simulations of several motor situations (individual, group and team).

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

Multiple choice written test with questions having multiple possible answers exclusively on the theoretical program performed in class. Thirty questions will be presented on a screen, 15 for each module. For each question 4 possible answers will be presented of which only one answer is correct. To each correct answer is assigned a score of 1 while each wrong answer is assigned a score of -0.2. Answers left blank are not evaluated.The test is evaluated in its entirety of two modules. It is considered as passed if a total score for the two modules equal to or greater than 18 (out of a maximum score of 30) is obtained. The time for the test is 30 minutes.
