Midterm Flashcards
Importance of Physical Literacy for Young Learners
Enhance future health of young learners by increasing the probability that they will remain active.
PHYSICAL LITERACY
INDIVIDUALS: All different
COMPETENCE: Develops motivation and ability
VARIETY: Function/expressive/inward
WHOLE PERSON: Psychomotor, cognitive, affective
Variety
Formal (sport) and informal (play)
Functional, expressive, inwardly focused
Off ground, on ground, winter, aquatic
Whole Person
Psychomotor (hands, the moving child)
Cognitive (head, the thinking child)
Affective (heart, the feeling child)
Long-term athlete development model
- Active start
- Fundamentals (movement skills)
- Learn to train
Play is:
Freely chosen, personally directed, intrinsically motivated and culturally influenced.
Context of activity:
Play, school PE, sport/organized, family activities
Types of activity:
Organizational settings: formal/informal
Purpose/intent: expressive, func, inward
Interaction: competitive, coop, ind, group
Enviornment: ground, off ground, winter, aqua
Effort/Energy: gentle, flowing, explosive, continuous, combination
Technical requirement: specialize skills, or general movement.

Motivation
Perceived competence and cost/ben
- Drop out/Burn out
- intrinsic/extrinsic
- amotivation (no reason to participate)
- lack of control over env
- ego goal (norm referenced)
- task goal (self-referenced)

Fundamental Movement Skills
- Locomotor (pedal/non-pedal)
- Balance/Stability (holding shape in stillness)
- Manipulative (project/receive/retain)
- culture dictates what is a fund mov skill
TARGET Strategy (Motivation)
Task: challenging, meaningful, variety
Authority: democracy, choice, voice
Recognition: promote self-worth, rec effort, etc
Grouping: small, mixed-ability
Evaluation: emph on ind progress, strength based
Time: progressive tasks, individualized
Early childhood (3-8 yrs)
2 in + 5 lbs each year, minimal gender difference, FATIGUE, sensory dev
Late childhood (8-12 yrs)
Slow and steady growth, better hand/eye cord.
Physical growth in childhood
- Malnutrition, dietary excess, illness, hypertrophy/atrophy
Characteristics of Motor Dev - Windows of opportunity!
Quiet Seas Cause Dramatic May Igloos
QUALITATIVE: not quantity
SEQUENTIAL: head to tail, middle to outside
CUMULATIVE: building blocks
DIRECTIONAL: progressive or regressive
MULTIFACTORIAL: skills require many factors
INDIVIDUAL/VARIABLE: not generalized
Factors Affecting Motor Dev
- variability, readiness, differentiation, integration, window of opportunity.
Inclusive Physical Education (IPE)
…providing all students with disabilities the opp to part in reg PE with their peers, with supplementary aides and support services as needed to take full advantage of the goals of motor skill acquisition, fitness, knowledge of movement, and psycho-social well-being, toward the outcome of preparing all students for an active lifestyle appropriate to their abilities and interests.
IPE
Acceptance, willingness, knowledge (context specific), creativity and flexibility.
Why teach movement skills?
Building blocks of many activities
Progression of Skill Development
Initial (emerging) - Early developing - Formative (intermediate) - Late developing - Mature (proficient)
Initial Stage
- purposeful attempts at movement, but lacking in coordination
- poor rhythmic flow
- maturation will not help develop proficiency
- missing parts of sequence, or in wrong order
Formative Stage
- Great control of FMS
- Coordination is getting better, but lacks flow
- Many children and adults stay at this stage of movement
Mature Stage
- Proficient, coordinated, controlled and rhytmic
- Performance starts to rapidly improve
- Opportunities for practice, encouragement, a supportive env and sound instruction are needed to get someone to the mature stage
- those at mature stage have a perceived competence and perceived benefits
Movement Task Series
- used for the progressive development of movement instruction and monitoring of a learning sequence
- the decisions a teacher makes in working with the content to best help young learners improve their movement or sport-specific skills
5 Types of Tasks
Basic - informs, tells student what to do
Refining - helps focus on quality of movement
Simplifying - makes it easier (for success)
Extending - makes it harder (for challenge)
Applying - integrating with other skills, puts into context
Basic Tasks
- Starts with a task that involves exploration
- effort, space and relationship concepts
Refining Concepts
- use child-friendly cues
Extending/Simplifying
- Adjust task to meet needs of learners
- Mod difficulty level to ensure success (80%)
- Gradual changes (increase # of movements, complexity of relationships, mod type/size equip, add defenders gradually)
Applying Tasks
- integration of learned skills with other known skills
- use the task that has been learned/practiced
- allows learners to see importance of what has been learned
- practical application in appropriate situations
Guided Discovery/Exploratory
- Help learner explore/discover the answer(s)
- build on past experience/make meaning and build new knowledge
- teachers need to play for critical thinking/active discovery
GDQs
- questions that lead the learner to discover the correct answer for themselves
- open ended to allow for a range of creative responses
(where do you need to look when you hit the ball with your bat? experiment with kicking with different parts of your foot. what parts give you best/predictable direction?)
Assessment
- formative, summative, authentic
- continuous, collaborative, comprehensive, criteria-based
What to observe? (assessment)
- students’ learning (on task, doing what was expected, equip dev app for students)
- opportunity for improvement (does every student have equip and opps to improve)
- level of challenge (every student challenge at personally appr level)
- students’ safety (enough space, app equip, dressed, warmed up?)
How to observe?
- what the child do the skill several times (minimize distractions)
- start with a side view
- gradually watch from different angles
- watch the overall movement, then specific parts or phases.
Rhythm
Tempo, underlying beat, metre, accent, intensity mood, phrase, rhythmic pattern
Dance takes movement from functional to expressive
Expressive in nature and has intrinsic value to the performer. Perceptually interesting and attractive.
- Rhymical movement of the body for expressive purposes.
What does dance teach to young learners?
- appreciate aesthetic and athletic elements
- develop unique way to express thoughts, feelings and ideas
- teach children about their bodies
Why teach dance to young leaning?
- broaden the “moving” experience (beyond functional)
- develop movement concepts
- promote movement skills
- enhance fitness related concepts
- assist the development of langauge and imagination
- create opportunities for the child to experience dance as a CREATOR, PERFORMER and OBSERVER
Role in Dance
CREATORS (choreographers)
PERFORMERS (dancers)
OBSERVERS (audience)
Child-friendly stimulus
- is appealing to them
- presents clear movement images or movement potential
- children have experience with (use familial language)
Structure dance material in a way…
- the body can move
- use time, energy and flow in every action of the body.
- body uses the space around itself
- the body interacts (relationships) with other people, props and objects
Dance element: BODY
- whole body actions
- body parts
- body shapes
