11.1 pedagogy for skill aquisition Flashcards
pedagogy
theory and practice of education and how this influences the growth of learners
traditional pedagogy
simple transmission of fixed knowledge from coach to athlete
- content-focused
- coach-led learning
- coach has full responsibility for what, how, and when learning takes place
non-linear pedagogy
non-linear, unpredictable manner with coach and athletes exploring a situation/problem/issue together
- high levels of connectivity between athletes and coaches
- process-oriented learning
- development of creative process in athletes
motor learning
- process of acquiring and perfecting motor skills and movements
- viewed as an ongoing dynamic, non-linear process, influenced by various limitations
constraint learning
technique for improving efficiency, involves back-tracking algorithms
athlete (performer)
- self organization
- movement patterns
- cognition
- decision making
- body structure and behavior
environmental
- physical factors
- gravity
- altitude
- floor, court space or area
- noise
task
- goal of task
- rules on actions
- rules on equipment
- type of equipment
how coaches could manipulate constraints that would impact the process of teaching motor skills
- modifying equipment
- choosing beat or tempo in dance
- modifying size or playing area
- enforcing specific rules/conditions
- setting relevant task goals in games
athlete
minimize number of rules
- makes it more enjoyable
- higher levels of motivation
- more commitment to a skill
environmental
limit the space available to participants
- have attackers and defenders in specific zones so that players focus on theirown tasks
- challenge athletes
- focus on specific task
task
modify equipment so that the activity allows for more success (in gymnastics add a mat so athlete has more confidence)
- makes skill more achievable
- more likely to perform it
what are some downfalls?
- takes a lot of resources
- cover more surface topics and not in depth
- time constraints
- lack of training for educators
