It        also looks at the evolution of research in the field, its current        status, and possible future directions. This text is one of the few to        examine motor development models and theories analytically while        providing a context for advanced students in motor development so they        can understand current and classic research in the field.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Traditionally, graduate study in motor development has been approached        through a compilation of readings from various sources. This text meets        the need for in-depth study in a more cohesive manner by presenting        parallels and highlighting relationships among research studies that        independent readings might not provide. In addition, \u003ci\u003eAdvanced        Analysis of Motor Development\u003c\/i\u003e builds a foundation in the theories        and approaches in the field and demonstrates how they drive contemporary        research in motor development.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       A valuable text for graduate students beginning their own research        projects or making the transition from student to researcher, this text        focuses on examining and interpreting research in the field. Respected        researchers Haywood, Roberton, and Getchell explain the history and        evolution of the field and articulate key research issues. As they        examine each of the main models and theories that have influenced the        field, they share how motor development research can be applied to the        fields of physical education, special education, physical therapy, and        rehabilitation sciences.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       With its emphasis on critical inquiry, \u003ci\u003eAdvanced Analysis of Motor        Development\u003c\/i\u003e will help students examine important topics and        questions in the field in a more sophisticated manner. They will learn        to analyze research methods and results as they deepen their        understanding of developmental phenomena. For each category of movement        skills covered (posture and balance, foot locomotion, ballistic skills,        and manipulative skills), the authors first offer a survey of the        pertinent research and then present an in-depth discussion of the        landmark studies. In analyzing these studies, students will come to        appreciate the detail of research and begin to explore possibilities for        their own future research. Throughout the text, special elements help        students focus on analysis. Tips for Novice Researchers sidebars        highlight issues and questions raised by research and offer suggestions        for further exploration and study. Comparative tables detail the        differences in the purpose, methods, and results of key studies to help        students understand not only what the studies found but also the        relevance of those findings.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       With \u003ci\u003eAdvanced Analysis of Motor Development\u003c\/i\u003e, readers will        discover how research focusing on the major issues and central questions        in motor development is produced and begin to conceptualize their own        research. Readers will encounter the most important models and theories;        dissect some of the seminal and recent articles that test these models        and theories; and examine issues such as nature and nurture,        discontinuity and continuity, and progression and regression. \u003ci\u003eAdvanced        Analysis of Motor Development\u003c\/i\u003e will guide students to a deeper        understanding of research in life span motor development and enable them        to examine how the complexities of motor development can be addressed in        their respective professions.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kathleen M.
