Physical education teacher candidates know and apply discipline-specific scientific and theoretical concepts critical to the development of physically educated individuals.
Element: 1.2 Describe and apply
motor learning and psychological/behavioral theory related to skillful
movement, physical activity, and fitness.
Artifact: Motor Behavior Anticipation Lab
Date: Spring 2012
Reflection:
In
the Motor Behavior course I performed a lab on Anticipation Timing and Task
Complexity. The purpose of this experiment is to determine what effect the
complexity of the task has on the accuracy of our anticipation timing
performance.
The
lab results have shown that when we were distracted by texting, our response to
the light stimulus was delayed. When we performed the simple task we were
usually early waiting for the arrival of the light.
It
is important for a physical educator to be aware that many sports and
activities require proper timing on the part of the player. An athlete must not
only anticipate the arrival of the stimulus but also begin the execution of the
complex response prior to the arrival of the stimulus.
Element: 1.3 - Describe and apply
motor development theory and principles related to skillful movement, physical
activity, and fitness.
Date: Spring 2011
Reflection:
In
the Motor Development Course a field experience lab was conducted at CHAMP
(Cortland Homer After- school Mentoring Program) on two different students.
The
lab results have shown the abilities of the two students. Each student has
different abilities. Not one student is alike in every aspect. The results of
these tests allow us to determine which stage of proficiency they are in;
Initial, Elementary, or Mature stage.
It
is important for a physical educator to be able to analyze and correct critical
elements of motor skills and performance concepts. You need to be able to break
down the movement and assist the students in their development.
