  5. Motor Development: The process of skill acquisition in children, from unskilled to skilled movers

  6. Gallahue (2012) Definition - Pg. 3

  7. Motor Development is • Age related, but not age dependent • Dependent on the individuality of the learner • Lifelong

  8. Developmentally Appropriate Education (DAPE) • Knowledge of what is age appropriate for the group • AND • Knowledge of what is individually appropriate

  9. Gross & Fine Motor Movements • Gross Motor Movements: • Examples? • Fine Motor Movements: • Examples ?

  11. Age Classifications • Chronological • Biological • Morphological • Dental • Sexual

  12. Historical Aspects of M.D. • Early researchers • “Maturational Period” • Normative-Descriptive Period” • “Process-Oriented Period”

  13. Current Trends • Dynamical Systems Theory • Lifespan Approach

  14. Importance of M.D. Why M.D. for Teacher Candidates in PETE?

  15. Assists in knowledge about DAPE • Developing a positive self-esteem

  16. Domains ofDevelopment • KNR 158 • Based on Bloom’s Taxonomy • Each domain interacts with the other
