Working with children to develop physical literacy

Question 1

developing physical literacy involves

Answer 1

creating a feeling of belonging, providing a level of challenge for every ability and interest, promoting physical development, prioritizing fun and enjoyment, creating space for autonomy of movement, and intentionally targeting the development of learner confidence

Question 2

what should the physical literacy experiences be

Answer 2

positive and fun

Question 3

why should the experiences be positive and fun

Answer 3

so that the children want to do them over and over again (motivation) and want to challenge themselves (confidence) and develop skills that enable children to participate actively (competence)

Answer 8

dodging, faking, screening

Question 9

accompanying movement skills for locomotion

Answer 9

displacement of body from one place to another

Answer 10

on feet, on hands, while rotating

Question 11

Answer 11

balances, supports, hangs

Question 12

Answer 13

about the axes of the body

Question 14

Answer 14

from arms, from legs

Question 15

first essential criteria when teaching physical literacy

Answer 15

focus is on student learning
goal is to increase motor performance

Question 16

second essential criteria when teaching physical literacy

Answer 16

a plan for content development is essential
plan for progressions
use short focused cues and feedback on those cues

Question 17

third essential criteria when teaching physical literacy

Answer 17

remember to teach the “whole” person
plan for outcomes in three domains (cognitive, psychomotor, affective)

Question 18

fourth essential criteria when teaching physical literacy

Answer 18

remember that spending enough time is strongly correlated to learning
use a high volume of repetitions with knowledge of results

Question 19

fifth essential criteria when teaching physical literacy

Answer 19

• develop learning experiences that are individualized and developmentally appropriate
• build in challenges as well as appropriate task and equipment modifications

Question 20

what is a significant variable in teaching strategy selection

Answer 20

the degree to which a teacher wants to engage in direct or indirect instruction

Question 21

direct instruction involves

Answer 21

a task-oriented learning environment with specific instructional goals and intentional monitoring of student progress

Question 22

how are the learning activities structured in direct instruction

Answer 22

with intent of teacher feedback being immediate

Question 23

in PE, direct instruction most often involves the teacher

Answer 23

being in total control of the learning experience

Question 24

how are motor skills taught in direct instruction

Answer 24

broken down into manageable parts, clearly described and demonstrated, and practiced by students in a structured, active way

Question 25

in a indirect instructional approach

Answer 25

teacher control of the learning experience is shared with the students

Question 26

what is used for content presentation with indirect instruction

Answer 26

a more holistic approach and there is intentionality in not breaking skills down into subskills, but rather "chunking" content in ways considered more meaningful to the learner

Question 27

in an indirect instructional approach students'

Answer 27

thoughts and feelings regarding the skill are prioritized in the learning experience to enable the students to take a more active role in the process of learning the skill

Question 28

in indirect instruction what receives a heightened level of teacher consideration when learning experiences designed

Answer 28

the individual needs, interests, and abilities of the students

Question 29

what is direct instruction preferred

Answer 29

when content is hierarchical in nature and basic-skill oriented, and when learning efficiency is a priority

Question 30

when is indirect instruction preferred

Answer 30

when the goals of a lesson involve multiple learning domains (e.g., cognitive, psychomotor, affective) because there is a desire to help students feel they are an essential part of the learning process

Question 31

why is the decision around using indirect an direct instruction made challenging

Answer 31

by fact that motor skill proficiency is developed primarily through practice and the cognitive processing that accompanies the practice

Question 32

when writing learning outcomes it is important to

Answer 32

focus on student behaviour use simple, specific action verbs state desire performance criteria

Question 33

focus on student behaviour

Answer 33

what can students demonstrate upon completion of the lesson

Question 34

use simple, specific action verbs

Answer 34

the student will be able to (action verb)

Question 35

state desired performance criteria

Answer 35

specific and measurable/observable terms
