A method, performed by a decoding apparatus, of decoding motion information, including: obtaining change information indicating whether to change motion information of a neighboring block of a current block; based on the change information indicating to change the motion information, determining a prediction direction of the current block by changing a prediction direction of the neighboring block; based on the prediction direction of the neighboring block being a first uni-direction and the prediction direction of the current block being a second uni-direction or a bi-direction, selecting a reference picture of the second uni-direction of the current block from a second reference picture list; obtaining a motion vector of the second uni-direction of the current block; and reconstructing the current block using a reference block indicated by the motion vector of the second uni-direction of the current block.
