Motor Learning


            Welcome back guys! Today, you will be learning more important things about Physical Education. Also, I will be emphasizing in another branch known as Motor Learning, a branch that deals with the motor skills of students, athletes and other physically active people. Motor Learning is a discipline that studies and analyses the factors that influence the learning and execution form the student or athlete’s motor skills. The person that specializes in this branch acts as a facilitator, and employs the different stages of growing and the human development for the systematic learning of motor and sports skills. This branch is very interesting and it plays an important role in the development of children, teens, adults, etc.

            Motor learning is meaningful for physical educators. They spend a lot of time planning and creating evaluation activities for their students. For example, an educator could create a plan to teach his students how to shoot a basketball and then create an activity for them to practice it. In this way, the educator can fix the students motor skills in case they are not using the right technics of shooting a basketball. This is a very fun and worthy branch because you constantly get the opportunity to teach and help someone become better than before. Finally, Motor Learning is a discipline that involves a lot of experience from the educator or trainer, which could set you, in case you wanted to be a trainer, to work for sports teams, sports programs, etc.
