Motor learning is a required subject for undergraduate students at the college level. Due to the abstractness of motor learning theories, the motivation of student learning has been significantly hampered due to the perceived disconnection between theory and practice by students. Thus, the purpose of this presentation is to introduce innovative ways of teaching motor learning courses and demonstrate how new approaches can significantly enhance students’ motivation of learning at the undergraduate level.
