coach/training activities - lesson 6 + 7 Flashcards
what are the two types of skills?
1) simple skills
2) complex skils
what are simple skills?
- few components
- require little cognitive ability
- limited decision making required
e. g. star jump
what are complex skills?
- a larger number of components
- requires more cognitive ability
- requires repeated practice to learn
- may need to be broken down
e. g. tennis serve
what are the two ways to teach simple skills?
1) limitation method
2) demonstration/explantation/practice/correction
what is the limitation method?
- coach demonstrates, learner copies
- minor adjustments made as needed
- learning made via observation
what is the demonstration/explantation/practice/correction method?
- coach demonstrates + explains the skill
- learner practices
- feedback + correction is provided
- more practice follows
- more feedback + correction
what are the 4 coaching activities?
1) shaping
2) chaining
3) simple to complex
4) static to dynamic method
what is shaping?
= process of simplifying a complex skill or using an incomplete version of the skill
- coach demonstrates
- performer practices a simplified version
- feedback provided
- missing components are added
- increase speed and accuracy
- add the remaining components
what is chaining?
= breaking down into parts of a complex skill or activity part by part
- each part is rehearsed separately
- learner moves on to the next components once the previous component is mastered
- once all individual components have been mastered entire skill is practiced
- components practiced in order
what is simple to complex?
= starting with a simplified version of the skill and then progressing to a more complicated version
- reduce attention demands
- reduce the difficulty of equipment used
what is the static to dynamic method?
= process of beginning to practice the skill from a stationary position and progressing to performing the skill while moving or performing additional tasks
