Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Content
We address the psychomotor development of the young child. First, we study the development of healthy children from birth to 3 years of age in terms of archaic and tendon reflexes, motor reactions, tone and motor acquisitions. Then we look at the motor acquisitions of the child between 3 and 8 years old: general coordination, fine motor skills, laterality, body schema, spatial and temporal organization.
We will also discuss psychomotricity and its deficits in old age.

Teaching methods
The theoretical course is given in auditory. The practical sessions are organized in groups of about thirty students defined by the faculty.
Theoretical course with video illustration
Practical course with very young children (babies from 0 to 3 years old) to learn the assessments of the young child. Course is given by the technical advisor
Practice with 4-6-year-olds to work on psychomotor components. Students come to class with a child ages 3-6 and give a psychomotor session.
Students also have the opportunity to go on an observation placement to see psychomotricity in toddlers, in schools, clubs, baby swimmers. They must then report the information to others in the form of a power point.

Evaluation methods
In this course, students are evaluated in two ways:
Continuous assessment including a oral presentation (observation or practical work experience with a child) to be done during the work experience periods assigned by the FSM (50% of the final grade - Part A - subject to having passed Part B ).
a written QCM exam on Moodle (TEST) during a dispensatory exam in November and/or in session (50% of the final grade-Part B - subject to having passed Part A).
The QCM is composed of 20 multiple choice questions with one or more correct answers, true or false and short answers. One point is awarded for each correct answer and no points are awarded for no answer or incorrect answer. It is administered on Moodle (TEST) and lasts 30 minutes.
The final grade is the arithmetic average of the grades for parts A and B. However, if either part is not passed, the final grade is reduced to 0.
Attendance to the practical sessions is required. In accordance with article 72 of the General Regulations for Studies and Examinations, the course instructors may propose to the jury to refuse registration to a student who has not attended at least 1/3 of the practical sessions (i.e. absence from 4 of the 6 practical sessions) during the January/June or September session. Absence from 2 PTs will result in a 30% reduction in the Part A grade, absence from 3 out of 6 PTs will result in a 50% reduction in the Part A grade,
