STUDENT GOALS
The student will acquire an understanding of human motor development from a
lifespan perspective.
The student will understand the processes by which humans develop skillful
motor performance.
STUDENT OBJECTIVES
The student will:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the nature and direction of motor skill
development in humans.
2. Be able to recognize and assess levels of fundamental motor skill
development (NCATE Proficiency 16).
3. Demonstrate knowledge regarding current theories of motor development,
motor learning and motor control.
4. Demonstrate knowledge about factors influencing motor development,
motor learning, and motor control.
5. Understand relationships among cognitive, affective and motor
development.
6. Understand motivational techniques applied to physical education and sport
and the relationship between anxiety and performance.
STUDENT OUTCOME
The student will be able to apply motor learning and motor development
principles to their academic specialty (physical education, athletic training,
and exercise science).
Academic Honesty
Academic dishonesty including cheating, plagiarism, and all forms of misrepresentation
in academic work, is unacceptable at the University of Maine.
Maine Common Core Teaching Standards (comprised of the InTasc
Standards)
KPE 270 will address the following standards:
S#1 Learner Development—The teacher understands how learners grow and develop,
recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and
across the cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas, and designs and
implements developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences.
S#3 Learning Environments—The teacher works with others to create environments
that support individual and collaborative learning, and that encourage positive social
interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.
S#6 Assessment—The teacher understands and uses multiple methods of assessment
to engage learners in their won growth, to monitor learner progress, and to guide the
teacher’s and learner’s decision making.

Tk-20 Online Data Management System
Electronic Submission:
Your requirements in this course may include the electronic submission of specific
key assignment artifacts using theTk-20 system. All students enrolled in degree
programs that receive accreditation from NCATE are required to have a TK20
account and upload key assessments. Student grades will be withheld until key
assessment data is uploaded. Additional information will be provided in classes that
have assessments as well as on the Tk-20 link on the College of Education and
Human Development Website. "Failure to upload the key assessment to Tk-20
could result in an incomplete or unsatisfactory grade, which in turn could
result in removal from teacher candidacy."
