Goals "Advanced Psychomotor Development in Physical Education" course is designed to provide master and doctoral students with an in-depth understanding of psychomotor development processes in physical education and sport. The course aims to teach students the basic principles of psychomotor development, motor learning theories and how to apply these theories to different age groups. It also aims to enable students to gain expertise in advanced psychomotor skills development and assessment methods and to reinforce their knowledge through academic and practical applications.
Course Content Psychomotor development and learning processes in the field of physical education and sport sciences, psychomotor development theories and information on how to apply these theories to different age groups and individual differences, biological and neurological bases of psychomotor development, skill acquisition processes and motor performance evaluation methods constitute the general content of this course. In addition, students are shown how to integrate psychomotor skills into physical education programmes and how to develop these skills through different activities.
Learning Outcomes - Understands the basic principles of psychomotor development processes and their effects on physical education programmes
- Analyses and evaluates biological, environmental and genetic factors affecting psychomotor development.
- Plan and apply effective teaching methods and techniques for the acquisition of psychomotor skills.
- Learn to effectively use technological tools (e.g. simulations, wearable technologies) in psychomotor skills training.
- To be able to prepare academic papers by examining current researches and literature on psychomotor development and present their researches within the scope of the course.
