There is a relationship in both children and adults between what 2 things regarding obesity
Their perception of motor skill competence (what you think you can do vs what you can really do) and their willingness to be active
Less competent individuals tend to be
Less willing to be physically active
At what ages do kids not care/ know what their motor skill competence is?
Up to 8 Y/o
-important to help them understand what the realities are
-develop a level of competence that will lead them to being confident in being physically active
People who are more physically literate are
More likely to be physically active
-meeting Canadian physical activity guidelines
Childhood obesity in 2035 statistics
Could double from 2020
-100% increase in boys and 125% increase in girls
-prediction that half the population will be living overweight and obese
PHE
Physical and health education Canada
-promotes active and healthy kids by promoting and advancing PA and health opportunities and learning environments
Physical Literacy
The motivation, confidence, and physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in PA for life
The process of learning in PA involves what 4 main ideas
Acquisition, Participation, Assimilation, and Accomodation
Consistency of performance is important to be monitored because
It confirms the student has truly learned
-can only be confirmed through the actions of the learner
How do people learn motor skills
-variety of life experiences
-different individuals have different levels of motor skill proficiency
Direct Instruction
A teacher tells and demonstrates for students what they should try and do
-simple teaching approach
Environmental Design
Teacher tries to create conditions where the student has to try and use particular motor skills to meet a particular challenge
-set up a space for the learner to practice/ learn the skills
Behaviourist Learning Model: Direct Instruction
Skill acquisition: focuses on how motor skills are learned -repetitive practice+ reinforcement
-less emphasis on internal cognitive process
Feedback + Reinforcement: frequent practice and rewards can lead to improved performance and skill retention
Information Processing: Direct Instruction
Seeks to help students connect new info with what they already know (assimilation)
or
Help students make sense of completely new info (accommodation)
-focuses how efficiently info is processed
-emphasizes role of practice -makes the skill automatic through good info processing
Cognitive Learning: Indirect
-more student lead
-creating an environment that will most likely aid in the desired learning
-how learners process and use them to guide performance
-emphasizes importance of clear instruction+ feedback -learners understand and improve from it
Describe relationship between development of motor skills, perceived confidence, and PA
Both of these impact PA as how good we are/ competence will affect if we enjoy it
Confidence plays a huge role as if you think you suck then why do it, if you think your the best then obviously you want to do it
