Synopsis

This text gives students the opportunity to learn how research is produced in order to test motor development s major issues and provides questions to set them on the path toward conceptualizing their own research. They will learn the most important models and theories, dissect some of the seminal and more recent articles that test them and identify important issues such as nature/nurture, discontinuity/continuity and progression/regression. It focuses on the ways in which both theoretical perspectives and research paradigms have influenced the understanding of developmental phenomena and meets the need for in-depth study in a more cohesive way than other texts. It also provides a foundation in the theoretical underpinnings and approaches within the field and demonstrates how these theories drive contemporary research in motor development.
