Skill Acquisition Flashcards
types of coaching styles
command
reciprocal
guided discovery
problem solving
command style
authoritarian approach
learners follow direct orders
advantage- suit novice performers, suitable for big groups
disadvantage- does not allow performers to express their own ideas
reciprocal
performers involved in their own development, whilst still being instructed by the teacher/ coach
advantage- helps intrinsic feedback, improves communication
disadvantage- coach must insure correct info is being learnt, have to monitor progress, can take longer
problem-solving
a problem scenario set by the coach, learners solve this without any advice
advantages- more suited for advanced learners, helps develop long term memory
disadvantages- no right or wrong method, only suitable for advanced performers
guided discovery
allows the coach to guide the performer to explore the correct tactics
advantages- promotes creativity, improves motivation and cohesion
disadvantages- time-consuming and not effective for large groups
strategy
the general approaches that a team have towards a competitive situation
e.g- minimise wide opportunities in rugby
tactic
adaptations that enable max performance against the opposition - can change on the day/ at the moment
e.g- deploy players in an umbrella style of defence in rugby
dissection of a skill
preparation
execution
recovery
classification of skill
gross/fine
internally paced/ externally paced
discrete/ serial/ continuous
open/ closed
gross/ fine skills
distinguished based on the size of muscle groups involved
gross- larger muscle groups, less precision: long jump, athletics
fine- smaller muscle groups, precision: darts
internally/ externally paced
internally paced- instigated by the performer as they control the timing
externally paced- timing is determined by outside factors
discrete/ serial/ continuous
discrete- one distinct movement w/ clear beginning and end e.g penalty shoot
serial- several discrete movements together e.g gymnastics routine
continuous- repetitive movements no clear start/ end e.g running
open/closed skill
open- directly affected by the environment, need to be adaptive
closed- performed in a predictable environment
transfer of skills
positive
negative
bilateral
zero
retroactive
proactive
positive transfer
learning of one skill is enhanced by the learning and development of another
negative transfer
learning of one skill hinders the development of another
zero transfer
learning of one skill has no impact on the learning of another
bilateral transfer
learning of a skill on one limb effects the development of that skill on the other limb
