HKIN 230 (3) - Human Motor Behaviour I
Teachers, coaches, rehabilitation specialists, human factors engineers, and other types of movement practitioners require an understanding of the fundamental processes underlying human motor behaviour, including skill acquisition and motor performance. HKIN 230 provides a foundation for understanding the characteristics and principles of motor learning and control and how different factors influence learning and performance.
HKIN 230 is an introduction to the area of human motor learning and control. This course introduces students to the cognitive processes that underlie human movement, the process of learning motor skills and the factors that influence acquisition, performance, and control. Students of this course will gain knowledge, appreciation, and understanding of the conceptual and empirical foundations in motor learning and control, and apply these to teaching, coaching, rehabilitation, ergonomics, and other areas of motor behaviour.
HKIN 567 (3) - Human Motor Performance
The course has four major objectives. Firstly, to give the students an understanding of the recent research being conducted in the area of motor learning and control in the year 2005. Secondly, to give the students the "tools" whereby they can critically analyze and assess this research. Thirdly, to allow students an in depth investigation into one or two specific topics (of interest). Finally to present their own unique ideas on a topic and have these ideas subjected to criticism by their peers. It is assumed that the student has an undergraduate background in motor learning and control. (e.g. read a text such as Schmidt and Lee, 2005)
Research
Dr. Franks’ research is concerned with the control and acquisition of human motor skills. Two programmes of research are presently underway to address specific questions in the area of motor learning and control. First, the program of research funded by NSERC is intended to investigate the processes responsible for the preparation, initiation and execution of voluntary actions. Second, the programme of research funded by SSHRC is intended to uncover the precise nature of the effects of instruction and demonstration on the acquisition of motor skills.
Current Projects:
- Effective Instruction in Coaching and Teaching (SSHRC)
- The Development of Effective Movement Control Strategies (NSERC)
