Learning Outcomes

1. To be able to classify and measure motor skill performance with the purpose of then designing an appropriate motor skill learning intervention.
2. Develop an understanding of factors that can influence performance and learning of motor skills.
3. Develop an understanding of the expert performance model and how it can be used to determine limiting factors to motor skill performance.
4. To be able to utilise knowledge of the limiting factors of expert motor skill performance to design motor skill learning interventions to facilitate attainment of higher levels of motor skill performance.
5. Develop an understanding of principles that have been demonstrated through scientific evidence to improve motor skill performance and how to implement these principles in various applied settings.
6. To be able to use contemporary motor control theories to explain motor skill performance and structure motor skill learning interventions.
7. To be able to work in small groups to run skill acquisition tasks, discuss their outcomes and reach a consensus in terms of presenting an answer to discussion questions related to the relevant topic.
8. To be able to use theoretical knowledge and apply it to assess motor skill performance and design programs to facilitate motor skill learning.

Unit Content

• Part A will present principles relating to motor skill classification and methods of measuring motor skill performance.
• Part B presents the expert performance model and the value it can provide to understand motor skill performance, particularly, factors that limit motor skill performance.
• Part C presents instruction and practice principles that can be used to facilitate motor skill learning. An introduction to motor control theories and their role in motor skill learning will also be presented.
