section b skill acquistion Flashcards
what are the four teaching styles ?
command
reciprocal
discovery
problem solving
what is command style?
involves the teacher making all the decisions with no input from learners, performers complete all the same actions
when would command style be used?
large groups
novice performers
dangerous situation
complex task
what are advantages of command style ?
instructions are clear
control is maintained
information given quickly if time is limited
large groups can be catered for quickly
what are disadvantages of command style?
no decisions from learner possible lack of understanding limited feedback little allowance for creativity demotivation
what is reciprocal style?
most decisions made my teachers and some learner input, a task may be set and completed by learners in pairs
what are some advantages of reciprocal style ?
instructions are clear communication skills are developed learners develop some responsibility for their own learning some individual feedback learners develop self- confidence teachers can maintain overall control
what are some disadvantages of reciprocal style ?
maybe difficult with beginners
difficult to monitor if all groups are on task
learners may not be able analyse movement and provide incorrect feedback
what is an ideal situation for reciprocal style ?
learners are more experienced
simple skills are involved
limited danger
time is available
what is the discovery style of learning ?
involves the teacher guiding the learner to find the correct movement by providing info or clues and performer may have to find the correct of many solutions
what are the advantages of discovery style ?
encourage creativity and decision making
development of responsibility
learners can work at their own pace
development of understanding of the task
increase motivation of task
improves communication and promote group interaction
what is the ideal situation of discovery style ?
there is no right or wrong outcome
performers have good communication
more experienced performers are involved
creativity is required
what is problem solving style ?
involves the teacher setting a problem and the learner finding a solution an open- ended approach
what are the disadvantages of the discovery style ?
time consuming
difficult to those who lack creativity
difficult for learners progress of large groups difficult to manage
learning is not what all what all learners wish to do
what are the disadvantages & advantages of problem solving style ?
similar to discovery
what is the ideal situation for problem- solving ?
no correct outcome
no time restriction
performers experienced
what factors need to be considered when planning a training session ?
nature of performer - age , ability
nature of task - open or closed skill
experience of teacher- knowledge
environmental condition - facilities
what is whole learning ?
the performer attempting the whole movement pattern after observing the demonstration on verbal guidance
what are the ideal conditions for whole leaning ?
if the skill is simple or discrete
the performer is motivated and pay attention
the performer is experienced
what are the advantages of whole learning ?
develop an awareness of entire movement
understand relationship between different sub routines immediately
experience timings needed to execute the skill successfully
develop his own schema
what are the disadvantages of whole learning?
difficult to use with complex skills
maybe difficult for beginners
not ideal for dangerous skills
what is part learning ?
involves the performer completing sub routines of movement in isolation before attempting overall movement
what are the advantages of part learning?
complex skills can be broken down into stages
specific aspects of the technique can be modified
allows performer to develop confidence
reduces the potential of injury
its motivating as sections of skills can be achieved quickly
what are the disadvantages of part learning ?
it reduces overall awareness
the transfer from part to whole may not be effective
the highly organized skills are difficult to break down
its time consuming
what are the ideal situations for part learning ?
when skill is complex
skill is a long sentence
performer has little motivation or attention span
performer is of limited experience
what is progressive part learning ?
variation of other methods, performer attempting the skill in stages then linking them together ‘chaining’
what are the advantages of progressive part learning?
complex skills can be broken down gradually
novice performers can achieve success
performers with limited attention span can remain focused
development of understanding of relationship between subroutines
minimizes the risk with dangerous skills
transfer to whole skill can be easier
