Describes a procedure for implementing practical curricula for remediating specific perceptual--motor disabilities. Suggests that implementation of a continuous program of curriculum development can enhance possibilities for student learning. (FL)

The Basic Stuff project is an effort to include more general concepts such as the effects of exercise, the learning of a new skill, and psychological factors influencing performance. The Basic Stuff Series attempts to summarize for teachers appropriate concepts and teaching methods. (JN)

Movement is motivated, encouraged, and governed by psycho-social development, motor development, and humanistic principles as well as by exercise physiology and kinesiology. The Basic Stuff series identifies the body of knowledge which underlies purposeful movement and can be integrated into concept or fundamental skill curricula. (JN)

Curriculum theory is a rationale for defining purpose, selecting objectives, and determining content. Two rationales, movement analysis, and developmental stages are discussed and evaluated, in terms of their purposes, objectives, content, and teaching methods. (JN)

In these sessions an attempt was made to analyze the profession of physical education for identification of the elements and reasons for diversification and to synthesize through establishing relationships among various subdisciplines. Attention was focused on the relationships that exist among emerging subdisciplines in physical education and on…

A taxonomy of psychomotor skills provides a classification of all human movement forms. The development of motor skills in this hierarchy begins with the reflexive physical responses of the infant. The stages of growth include basic interactive movement forms, skilled movement forms, and functional and creative movement forms. This taxonomy offers…

This monograph is a progress report on efforts to develop curriculum theory for physical education. It focuses on the development of individual human motor performance and the utilization of selected movement learning media to achieve specified educational outcomes in relational perception and orientation in space. Concerned essentially with the…

This research proposal reviews the literature on the development of mobility skills in students with severe physical disabilities and proposes a single-subject study, using a multiple baseline across subjects design, to evaluate effects of the Mobility Opportunities Via Education (MOVE) Curriculum on the mobility skills of sitting, standing, and…
