Class attendance and participation are required. If over two unexcused class periods are missed a cut in
grade will result. All assignments (exception: optional written assignment) and tests must be completed
to pass the course. A missed test may be made up in case of an excused absence, otherwise a zero is
recorded.

FURTHER EXPLANATION OF EVALUATION FACTORS:
1. Class attendance: Students are expected to attend all classes. Excuses should be brought for all
absences and, if possible, before the absence occurs. Two unexcused absences equals a letter cut in
grade. Positive and contributing participation is expected during class discussion.
2. Either Concepts of chapters , for each text or chapter tests for each text. Five(5) to twenty(20)
concepts for 6 chapters for text by Rose, …Motor Control and Learning ; for 6 chapters of text
Understanding Motor Development: Infant – Adults by Gallahue & Ozmun; and for 6 chapters from
text, Dynamics of Sport and Exercise by Diane L. Gill. DUE DATES: one week after assigned for reading
and class discussion and /or a specifically assigned test dates
3. 12 abstracts (4 in motor learning, 4 in motor development, and 4 in psychology of sport), 2 articles
must come from The Sport Psychologist (found in Dr. Hager's office, use in Seabury Center) 1 from
Quest, 2 from AAHPER Research Quarterly, 2 must come from the Journal for Physical Education and
Recreation, and 1 from Journal of Teaching Physical Education.( Other selected referred Journals may be
substituted with Dr. Hager’s approval. A minimum of 8 articles must come from the 1980's, and/or
1990's,and /or the 2000 - 2010 Ask for example and explanation of an abstract. A minimum of 6

DATE FOR FOUR ABSTRACTS; BY 5:00pm WED., APRIIL 2, OTHER ABSTRACT DUE DATE WILL BE
ANNOUNCED IN CLASS. This requirement may be Individualized to specific readings, specific books,
with written &/or oral reports, etc.
4. Lab experiments in motor learning: Each student does a skill acquisition experiment (experiment I)
and each studentwill have a specific lab experiment(experiment II). These two lab experiments should
be written up. The skill acquisi-
tion experiment completion and write-up will be DUE on or before 5:00pm, Tuesday, February 28 The
individual assigned lab experiment will be given in class and a write-up is due 2 weeks after the
lab experiment is given to the class.
5. Lab experiment/topic written report in Psychology of Sport (motor development or motor learning
may also be used). DUE DATE TWO WEEKS AFTER EXPERIMENT GIVEN IN CLASS. If experiment/topic
due last week in class, then DUE DATE is 5:00 PM the date of the final for PED 364. Oral presentation
times will be assigned according to the number of students in class. Normally will be in last two weeks
of class. The student is to provide an outline of presentation for each class member, Dr. Hager, and
visitors, estimate two visitors. Each student in class will ask at least one follow up question to at least
one student presenter (Dr. Hager will assign three class members to ask follow up questions for each
presenter). Each class member will turn in an evaluation form on each presenter. Evaluation forms will
be handed out to class well before presentations are given.
6. Quizzes: Students should be prepared for one at any time. Quizzes will be on material covered in
class or assigned for class. May be made up only if student has excused absences.
7. Announced tests and quizzes: There will be a number of announced tests and/or quizzes throughout
the semester. An announced examination will be on physiological basis of motor learning, neurological
function, and must be passed at a "C" level. The examination on physiological basis of motor learning
will be given on Tuesday, either Feb. 26 or March 4. If the subject matter is not mastered on a "C" level
the first time, then parallel test forms will be given outside of class until the student passes at a "C"
mastery level. It will be possible for a student to take a maximum of 4 parallel examinations on this
area. However, the highest grade possible on retest is a "C". Also if possible the test should be
completed or at least two attempts should be completed by midterm. Last possible date to take
mastery test
is May 5. Cross word puzzle on Life Span Motor Development will be DUE: FRI., March 12.
8. Final examination.
9. Optional written assignment on student selected & teacher approved topic, to improve grade,
determined on an individual basis, cannot substitute for a required test or assignment.
Performance Based Student Experiences reflecting the NASPE Standards (1.1-9.6), the KY Core Content
with Academic Expectations 2.34 and 2.35 (KY Core Content) and the nine (I-IX) KY Teacher Standards
(Teach. Standards). It is understood that the conceptual base for teaching the Kentucky Core Content
are being developed rather than being applied in a teaching situation.
Students will:
master content area of the physiological basis of motor learning-neuromuscular function to a "c" level.
Total four attempts at passing the closed book test using parallel forms of the test will be possible. No
grade higher than a “C” is possible for those taking the test more than once. NASPE: 1.7: KY Core
Content: 2.34: KY Teach. Standards: VIII
take three to five additional (beyond the mastery test) tests on motor learning, sport psychology and/or
motor development. Average of all tests need to be at a D (hopefully at a C level) or above level. NASPE:
1.7, 7.1; KY Core Content 2.34, 2.35; KY Teacher Standards: VIII
administer to self and write up in laboratory form one motor learning experiment. Assessment will be
based on how ell directions for experiment were followed, i.e., if done five minutes for ten straight days
and all write ups are completed; recording data and completing instructions is focus of Experiment.
NASPE: 1.7, 1.8; KY Core Content: 2.34; KY Teacher Standards: IV, VI, VIII.
administer to peers and write up in laboratory form one motor learning experiment. Assessment will be
based on thoroughness of understanding of task as evidenced by efficiency of preparation, set up, data
collection, data interpretation, and how well and complete write up is in accordance with the
instructions of the experiment. NASPE: 1.7, 1.8; KY Core Content: 2.34; KY Teacher Standards: IV, VI,
VIII.
read and write up in abstract form twelve research articles, four on motor development, four on motor
learning and four on sport psychology. Assessment will be based on having complete bibliographic
information, preferably in APA style, originality of work (not a rehash of another abstract), moving form
general to specific information, presenting in will written form the total synopsis of the article, using
referred periodical and journals, having one-third to one half current references (unless nature of
subject warrants less current references, for example, history of development of a topic), sufficient
number of abstracts and in correct topics. NASPE: 8.2; KY Core Content: 2.34, 2.35; KY Teacher
Standards: VIII
deliver a ten to fifteen minute presentation, on a selected (teacher approved) topic or lab experiment,
to the class and invited guests (usually department faculty members) with PED 364 Professor and class
members evaluating the presentation on determined criteria. Also a paper of content of presentations is
turned in to PED 315 professor. NASPE: 6.7; KY Core Content: 2.34; KY Teacher Standards: VIII
CLASS SCHEDULE OUTLINE
Lecture & Discussion Days
Feb. 8 - Feb. 23 or March 2
Lecture and discussion over Physiological Basis of Motor Learning-Neuromuscular Function.
The first and second Tuesday lab periods will be used as lecture. Possibly the third Tuesday will
be used by some lucky student(s) for a lab experiment or the third lab period will be used for a
mastery test on Physiological Basis of Motor Learning-Neuromuscular Function. If the third lab
period is not used for the mastery test it will be on the fourth Tuesday lab. So the mastery test
will be on either Feb. 23 or March 2 will be used for the test over the Physiological Basis of
Motor Learning-Neuromuscular Function. (The exact date of the test will be announced at least
one week before the exam.) In any case only 2 lab periods are excepted for lecture/discussion
for Physiological Basis of Motor Learning-Neuromuscular Function. Only Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday will be used for lecture/discussion on that topic starting the third full week of spring
semester.
