3.1.2.3 Principles and theories of learning and performance part 2

Question 1

Social development theory

Answer 1

• interaction with others = vital role in learning
• MKO (not older)(higher mental ability)= provide behavioural or verbal instructions
• demonstrates e.g and advice but also values and actions (high effort and healthy lifestyle)

Question 2

3 principles of social learning

Answer 2

1. MKO (more knowledgable other)
2. ZPD (zone of proximal defence )
3. language

Question 3

how does learning take place in social development

Answer 3

1. External learning = observing MKO
   (inter -psychological learning) = advice/tactics/knowledge
2. Internal learning = internal analyse, think about/construct actions based on what learnt externally (intra-psychological)

• work through ZPD (3 Stages)
• observe and copy others
• learn from MKO

Question 4

Inter-psychological

Answer 4

external learning

Question 5

Intra-psychological

Answer 5

internal learning

Question 6

3 parameters to construct learning

social development theory

Answer 6

-constructivism (build on what you know)

1. watch and learn from others
2. use that info to add to what you already know
3. learning takes place

Question 7

zone of proximal development

Answer 7

1. do alone
2. with help
3. can not do yet

Question 8

why is this theory important
social development
what can MKO do?

Answer 8

• MKO = credit and advice

- MKO = influence learner by demonstrating values and actions e.g put in effort and a healthy lifestyle

Question 9

example in tennis for social development theory:

Answer 9

• I can make contact with the ball in the air
• I cant keep my grip in the right place without help from coach or MKO
• I cant do the full action of a serve including trophy position

Question 10

insight theories of learning

Answer 10

-cognitive theories
-link sub-routine = whole (cognitive processes)
- insight into task as a whole = connections together = rapid improvement in performance/leap of understanding
-no same as trial and error
-don’t focus on specific movement patterns
UREKA- riding bike example

Question 11

insight learning occurs when

Answer 11

• combine both internal info (joint position/muscle tension) and external info (info about bike/road etc)
• integrated model
• understanding the skill and why and when it is used

Question 12

coach’s role in insight learning theory

Answer 12

• may question a performer why they are performing in certain way
• experience whole activity rather than isolated skills
• allows learner to develop own strategies and tactics

Question 13

gestalt theories (insight)

Answer 13

• believe whole is greater than the sum of its parts

- need to understand relationship between subroutines

Question 14

advantages and disadvantages of insight learning theory:

Answer 14

adv:

• encourage cognitive thought
• gives position for team/race/role
• allows them to adapt to different situations & understand the skill = adapt and solve problems

dis:

• can all skills be taught as a ‘whole’
• stage of learning

Question 15

example of insight learning theory

Answer 15

3000m runner

• aware some runners have fast finish
• use ‘insight’ into tactics to plan to run out hard
• hopefully tire out runners won’t be able to keep up
