teacher as profession
requires specialized training
brings service that society trusts in
teachers expected to meet ethical and technical standards
they are expected to consistently pursue “best practice” in their teaching
the link between teacher goals and the curriculum
the curriculum provides the content infrastructure which teacher practices are rooted
the curriculum is intended to reflect “best practice”
the curriculum is there to help teachers and students understand where they have been, where they are present, and where they are going
SK overarching aims
active living: enjoy and engage in healthy levels of participation in movement activities to support lifelong active living
skillful movement: enhance quality of movement by understanding developing and transfering movement concepts/strategies
relationships: balance self through safe and respectful personal social cultural interactions in movement
mastery vs ego goal orientated
mastery goal orientation: refers to a teacher focus where the students are helped to pursue their best selves.
focus: personal improvement and learning
ego orientation: students are trying to “perform” at the highest level in a social in a social comparison. emphasis on results and meeting standards.
focus: outperforming others and gaining recognition
types of goals
general goals: tend to apply to curriculum objectives (what is going to happen in the course)
specific goals: tend to apply to instructional objectives (what is going to happen in the class)
cognitive goals
target the students thinking world
the knowledge needed to understand techniques, tactics, and principles
address student thinking on multiple levels:
recall: listing what you have been taught
application: applying what you been taught
creativity: exploring new possibilities using what they were taught)
psychomotor goals
any goal that deals with physical and motor abilities
the teaching of simple and complex skills fall into psychomotor goals
affective goals
affective goals address the “feeling” world of the student
two key affective goals are get the students to appreciate and have a desire for physical activity.
also address the character development
student should be treating people in a caring/respectful way
examples of the different goal domains for volleyball serve
rules of volleyball would be cognitive
when they are teaching the skill thats psychomotor
affective goals are more difficult to achieve ex) would be fair play in the sport
what is the movement task
its the central focus of the lesson
what are teaching functions
looks at the purpose of the behaviour not the behaviour itself
teacher functions in teaching learning process
1) identifying the outcomes
2) planning
3) presenting tasks
4) organizing and managing the learning environment
5) monitoring the learning environment
6) devloping the content
7) assessing student performance
8) evaluating
the relationship between motor skill competence and PA
- what age do you not know about competence
lower the competence lower the PA
before the age 8 they dont know motor skill competence (important to help them understand motor skill realities)
what principles of physical literacy
how are these principles connected to the process of learning?
physical literacy is motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge/understanding to engage
competence and confidence are acquired through the process of learning
how do teachers determine if students have learned something
consistency of performance
A behaviourist learning model
what does it believe
implications?
believe individuals are shaped through their experiences
implications:
- skill acquisition: focus on how motor skills are learned through practice and reinforcement
- reinforcement and feedback: they help shape/maintain motor skills
information process model
implications
seeks to help students connect new info to what they already know (assimilation), or make sense of new information (accommodation)
implications:
skill development: how efficiently info is processed and how errors can affect performance
practice automation: emphasizes the role of practice in improving the efficiency of info processing and automate motor skills to reduce cognitive
cognitive learning model
implications
guided discovery. experience. the students are placed in conditions that will most likely yield the desired learning.
implications: skill acquisition: focuses on how learners process info, mental representations
instruction and feedback: importance of clear instructions and feedback
dynamical systems
explains movement responses
it suggests that movement responses are controlled by 3 categories of constraints:
organismic (the body)
environment (social and physical continuosly changing)
task (what the body is being asked to do)
what are the different constraints
organismic: refer to the physical ability and maturity level of the learner
environment: refer to physical and social environment considerations (weather, socialcultural)
Task: constraints refer to practical things like equipment, developmental level of students
stages of motor learning
Fitt and Posner
stage 1: cognitive stage. learner trying to simply make sense of what to do (beginner)
stage 2: associative stage: learner trying to coordinate the different parts for the skill (immediate)
stage 3: automatic stage: no longer have to concentrate on the skill.
cognitive stage of learning
the learner relies on the info (visual and auditory) think carefully of each aspect
more general movement patterns
demonstration is particularly helpful
they have the fear of making a mistake
causes of fear of failure
5 consequences
not failing the skill its what will happen after you fail
5 consequences:
feeling shame/embarrassment
feeling a decline in self estimate
feeling disappointed important others
feeling the important others have less interest in them
feeling they negatively effected their future prospects
associative stage of learning
the in between stage
they cane expand more off of the skill
will not demonstrate consistency of the skill
more refined movements
this stage can be a very long time
