Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Explain the dynamic growth, developmental, and learning processes of individuals across the lifespan to include atypical motor development.  
  2. ​Explain key theories, current trends, issues and terminology related to lifespan motor development and motor learning.  
  3. Explain the socialization process, social-emotional learning, and culturally relevant practice and the effect on lifespan motor development and motor learning. 
  4. Analyze and describe the quantitative/qualitative changes in motor development specific to the constraints, rate limiters, and affordances that surround dynamic motor development across the lifespan.
