Week 2 Flashcards
What does the degrees of freedom relate to?
The control and coordination of all the independent variables in performing a motor skill
What are the different types of social ecology models? 7
- Sports Education
- Games-based or game-sense approaches
- Teaching games for understanding (TGfU)
- Students-designed games or games-making approaches
- Cooperative learning model
- Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility
- Mosston’s spectrum of teaching styles (not a model but used to teach into models
What is the Sports Ed model?
A unit which is student run, they participate in all aspects in and around playing, administration, promotion etc
What is the Games-based model?
Using modified games-like activities ahead of decontextualized skill based activities aka drills
What is the Teaching games for understanding (TGfU) model?
It prioritises understanding tactics and play over technique
What are the 3 main parts of the learner’s social-ecology of the learner?
- Their body
- Their social/cultural context ( how we learn sports)
- Their immediate and wider environment
In regards to the learner’s social-ecology, what are some examples of their body?
- genetics
- capabilities
- motivations
- coordination
In regards to the learner’s social-ecology, what are some examples of their social/cultural context?
- peers
- teachers
- school
- parents
- community
- religions
- other ‘isms’
In regards to the learner’s social-ecology, what are some examples of their environment?
- pre-existing building/facilities
- policy
- natural environment/landscape (ice vs desert)
- weather
- parents that can take you to sports
- siblings that play sports
What are the theoretical framework models for teaching HPE? 2
- Cognitive model (working memory, schema)
- Motor program theories
What are the 3 main parts of the cognitive models of skill learning?
Different ways our brain controls movement
- closed vs open loop control of motor tasks
- speed accuracy trade-off
What are the 3 main parts of the cognitive models of skill learning?
- closed vs open loop control of motor tasks
- speed accuracy trade-off
- motor program theories
What is the motor program theory?
A movement plan, stored in memory (the brain), that contains all the commands for the effectors (muscles) to carry out the motor skill
- you can run into storage problems, so in comes the generalised motor program
- overarm throw, tennis hit, kick
What is the generalised motor program
- A motor program that represents a class of similar skills or skill variations, so that it can be modified to specific movement requirements
- Central concepts in this view are invariant features, parameters, and the schema
What does invariant features mean?
Things that do not change, the parts of GMP that stay consistent
- sequence or order
- relative timing
- relative force
What are parameters?
Things that do/need to change, things that GMP modifies
- overall duration, force, direction, what set of limbs (RHS/LHS)
What does Fit’s Law relate to?
The speed-accuracy trade-off
Filt’s law stipulates that movement time is influenced by what 2 things
Amplitude and target size
According to motor program theory, the generalised motor program contains
The invariant features, parameters and the schema
The close similarity of performance over a series of performances is called what?
Stability and consistency
Gmp- to throw a ball different distances what must the learner modify?
Parameters of movement
What is Schema?
It is a set of rules used to modify the parameters
- recall - initial organisation of the program, what stimuli we see/have
- recognition - how did it go, results
Dynamic system theory approach factors include: 7
not about the brain but the body and the constraints, think nature (leaf falling is random at the start and then falls into a pattern
- non-linear dynamics and complexity
- self organisation - body solves the movement problem give the interaction of constraints
- constraints: task, environment body (organismic)
- Attractors and non-linear transitions (ball in hollowed out attractor well), tapping task, treadmill, walk to walk
- affordances: shapes and guide movements that tell us what to do
- perception-action coupling - seeing opportunities for action
- degrees of freedom, when learning will initially reduce, then we open up and eventually we exploit them
What is the constraints based approach to teaching in PE?
using the constraints to learn, a baby cant walk as it doesn’t have the leg strength to hold itself up so it crawls using arms and legs to compensate
According to cognitive evaluation theory, if an instructor in physical education or sport provides a reward that makes the learner feel more in control of their behaviour this will lead to what?
an increase in intrinsic motivation
Do students enjoy competing and testing themselves against others and should we use language like this, “How can we fake our opponent to create an opportunity to score?”
No, just over half usa students do enjoy it
What is amotivation
A lack of motivation and self-determination where the learner has no desire to participate is characteristic of
What is amotivation
A lack of motivation and self-determination where the learner has no desire to participate is characteristic of
A learner who attributes difficulty in learning a skill to ____________ is likely to feel that they will never be good at the skill
Ability
A learner who is always concerned with comparing ability to others and winning has
an ego goal orientation
A learning environment that that is perceived to reinforce social comparison, competition, and punishment for mistakes is a
performance climate
How much effort a learner puts into an activity is related to the
Intensity of effort
Attributing all successes to internal causes is an example of what?
ego-enhancing self-serving attribution bias
Attributing all failures to external causes is an example of what?
ego-protecting self-serving attribution bias
In order to provide a mastery motivational climate, what strategy would be least effective:
Provide beginners with positive feedback and more experienced players with corrective feedback
Luck is an example of a what attribution?
unstable or external
Motivation includes what?
The direction of effort
Participating in an activity for a reward and not for the activity itself is characteristic of which type of motivation?
Extrinsic motivation - think external outside motivation
Given an example of Performance motivational climate
Playing a 15 student per side volleyball match at the conclusion of the lesson
According to self-determination theory, Autonomy is…
the feeling that you can make your own decisions and that you are in control of your behaviour.
What is the additive principle?
The theory of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation that proposes that extrinsic rewards add to intrinsic motivation is the
How much effort a learner puts into an activity is related to the what?
volume of effort
Activities in styles A–E engage the learner primarily in..
Cognitive operations such as memory and recall, identification, and sorting.
According to Mosston, what fundamental proposition of the spectrum is its single unifying process?
decision making
