Rink Text Ch 2 (Q3 + 4)

3. Children can learn motor skills on their own or with the assistance of a teacher. These skills are learned by interacting w/ their environment, experimentation, or imitation. Good instructions can be one of the best ways to teach a student a motor skill. Teachers need to have a safe and reliable environment. They should also give children plenty of time to experiment, such as just letting student kick a soccer ball around on their own for 5 minutes, to learn personally. A good teacher will teach with demonstrations and good instructions because some students learn better from imitation than others. Others might benefit from a paragraph written about performing a specific motor skill.
4. There are different ways that motor skills should be taught. A closed skill such as shooting a free-throw, is always going to be the same. The player has the same control and they can use the exact same time, foot position, and even the same form every time they perform the skill. There are no variables from the environment to worry about. An open skill on the other hand can be carried out differently because other players will influence how it is carried out. Serial skills are performed once, such as throwing a shot put in track n field, in which there is a discrete beginning and end. This skill is similar to a closed skill because the person doing it has 100% control and tries to replicate the exact form every time. Instructs for this skill are more black and white. A discrete skill such as dribbling is a sequence of serial skills performed back to back. When teaching discrete skills such as dribbling, practice and more practice is the best way to learn these types of skills, so the athlete will become fluid in the motor skill.

Rink Text Ch 1 (Qs 1,4,5)

1. There are objectives or goals for every student that a teacher should have as they stimulate their psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains. For instance some children may have problems working with others and may need more individual help than others in the affective domain. Goals should be easily understood by the students and they should be reasonably obtainable. There should be goals for the class and individual students.
4. Content Behaviors include the teacher accurately describing the task and making the students engage in the task, and the teacher may have to modify the task to better fit the group. If teachers do not choose a good process they will have difficulties managing children and keeping them on task. Having good structure to a class is vital, such as keeping the class busy and not letting children that fool around a lot to be next to their buddies.
5. Movement tasks are physical tasks such as setting the volley ball to your partner. This is where students develop psychomotor control. It is vital that the instructor gives good instructions with good visual or auditory tips, and makes sure the children do not develop bad habits. It is important that the children always know what is asked of them so they can pick up the movement task quickly and not waste class time.

To the class today we will be learning some tips on managing stress and throwing a football.
ask students – what are some ways you manage stress?
To Class “ sports and physical activity can help people manages stress. Simply being active can help you lessen stress but everyone has a favorite hobby or activity that helps them release the most stress.”
To students “ what are some of your favorite ways to relieve stress?”
TO class – “ everyone throw the ball as far as you can,( after they retrieve it they can kick it as far as they can to learn fun ways of relieving stress”
To students “ remember how to hold the football and throw it properly?, ok then find a partner and throw the ball to them under control and move back as you both feel comfortable”, then throw the ball at a spot on the wall to see where they stand on accuracy, not a contest”
Check for understanding, ask for questions
