Motor Learning (Ed.M.)

专业详情

The Master of Education (Ed.M.) program in Motor Learning (Code: MTLG) is designed to provide students with a broad background in movement sciences and related areas. Study focuses on the behavioral, biomechanical and neural bases of development, acquisition and performance of functional movement skills. Acquisition of skill is examined over the life span in typically developing and impaired individuals. Movement analysis is used to elucidate the neuromotor control processes underlying skilled performance in everyday functional behaviors, sport and dance. The teacher or therapist’s role in facilitating skill learning and performance is emphasized.

The Ed.M program provides for advanced study in the movement sciences and for individually designed study to meet the student’s professional needs and interests. Students can focus on preparation as a “scholar of practice” able to translate research and theory into appropriate clinical or educational strategies. Students considering application to doctoral programs can begin their course of study with the Ed.M. degree. Students intending to continue study towards the doctoral degree should arrange their Ed.M. program to include core courses required for doctoral specialization.

The program requires 60 points of graduate study.
