MUGI Motor Development as Ground for Learning
MUGI was started in 1990 by Ingegerd Ericsson, Ph D in Education, senior lecturer, and associate professor in Sport Sciences*. MUGI offers lectures and education in motor development and training according to the MUGI model. The aim is to contribute, through research, to increased knowledge about relationships between motor skills, physical self-esteem and learning.
The doctoral dissertation Motor skills, attention and academic achievements contains a summary in English (12 pages) and can be ordered (27 Euro) through mail to Ingegerd Ericsson. You can also order MUGI Observation Checklist in English (13 Euro).
To book a lecture about motor skills observations, motor training and the research in the Bunkeflo Project please contact [email protected].
MUGI is also on facebook: MUGI Motorisk Utveckling = Grund för Inlärning
