Motor learning is a required subject for undergraduate students at the college level. Due to the abstractness of motor learning theories, motivation of student learning for motor learning courses is 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 in order to enhance undergraduate students’ motivation of learning.
