This course is about?
We will address the role of leaders in engaging children in a wide range of developmentally appropriate physical activities. (special focus on games, gymnastics, dance, play)
Why are activity levels in children decreasing.
Technology use, screen time, more structured time less free time (child-directed), safety concerns (stranger danger, helicopter parenting…), less active transportation, lack of sleep
Physical literacy develops the abilities to:
Understand, communicate, apply, analyze through different forms of movement.
With physical literacy, kids can demonstrate movement:
Confidently, competently, creatively, strategically
To develop physical literacy - children should experience a variety of movements in the 4 basic environments:
Ground, water, snow/ice and air
Diverse mouvement situations:
Functional, expressive, inwardly focused
What is sampling:
Trying out multiple different sports to broaden horizons.
What are the psychosocial benefits of sampling:
They develop life skills, prosocial behaviour (diff norms) , healthy identity exploration, diverse peer group, and social capital.
Reasons for dropping out of sports:
Negative experience, competing interests, lack of skill, fun, playing time and more pushing the parent’s agenda, burning out
CET-Coach effectivement Training:
Winning is not everything, focus on fun, doing your best, getting better. Avoid punishment, positive feedback and encouragement.
What is the goal of TARGET:
Basic building blocks of a mastery climate, let kids develop their own skills at their own rate, children develop more life skills by participating in many sports instead of specializing in one. Mainly used to enhance physical literacy.
What does TARGET stand for:
Task, Authority, Recognition, Grouping, Evaluation, Time
Context of physical activity
Play, school physical education, organized sport,
transportation and family activities.
What are the 3 domains of development and learning
Psychomotor/Motor/Physical (hands, doing), Cognitive (head, understand), Affective (heart, feeling)
DAAP’s 6 criteria:
