Skill Profiles and Skilled vs Novice
state an example of a motor skill
ex: swimming, running, jumping, catching, throwing, etc
efficient in movements, no errors, can correct own errors, fluid in movements, set motor programs etc
State an example for skill to skill transfer
ex: swinging in golf to swinging in hockey
State a skill that would be best presented with WHOLE presentation
ex: quick, discrete skills ...
golf swing, batting, etc
State the relationship between skill, technique and ability
skill = ability + technique
Describe at least two characteristics of a novice performer
not consistent, not fluid, not learned, is not accurate, has no control of movements, does not know how to set goals and achieve them, not efficient in movements
Describe the pattern of learning during a negative learning curve
learning is really fast to start and then slow gains later
Describe one factor that can influence the rate of learning a new skill
many based on:
motivation, physical maturation, age, coaching style, etc
describe massed practice
one skill is focused on for an extended period of time
EX:
dribbling around an opponent
state the skill profile of a golfer putting (on at least 3 continuums)
fine, closed, internally paced, discrete, individual
Describe two reasons that could explain a positive acceleration learning curve
low motivation to start - highly motivated at end
new coach comes in that knows more
very complex skill to learn technique then after easier to refine
Describe the divergent style of teaching (2 marks)
discover solutions/responses to a given task
task given by teacher, students complete the work
allows for creativity, problem solving, critical thinking
state an example of whole-part-whole presentation
EX:
swimming freestyle - flutter kick - swimming freestyle
Describe how physical fitness can contribute to different rates of learning
low fitness level - decrease learning since it could be more difficult to physically complete the task
OR
High fitness level - increase learning since it could be easier to physically complete a task
Distinguish between at least 3 differences in a novice vs skilled swimmer
Must describe differences on any of the following:
consistency, accuracy, learned, efficiency, control, fluidity, goal directed
Axes MUST be labeled:
x: over time
y: performance
curve should start increasing slowly then fast at the end
describe principle to skills transfer and provide an example
- from theory or science of moving to completing a physical skill
- learning the physics behind a golf swing to applying it to a golf swing
distinguish between fixed and variable practice
fixed practice - one skill is focused on repeatedly
variable - multiple skills are worked on in the same session
Describe the command style of teaching
teacher leads everything - states task and how to do things
