Study Notes
Learning Objectives
- Define the disciplines of motor control, motor learning, and motor development.
- Articulate the impact of motor learning in physical education (PE) and sports science (SS).
- Differentiate among laboratory, applied, and ecological research methodologies.
- Explain the concept of a motor skill.
- Classify motor skills using both one- and two-dimensional approaches.
Importance of Studying Motor Behaviour
- Informs professional practice guidelines for educators and coaches.
- Aids in the planning and development of effective curriculum.
- Enhances the delivery of efficient pedagogies.
Motor Behaviour in Physical Education and Sports Science
-
Physical Education: Offers education through physical means; understanding motor behavior is crucial for:
- Making informed teaching decisions.
- Designing curriculum focused on motor skill development.
-
Exercise and Sport Science: Concentrates on the scientific investigation of exercise and sports; provides:
- Guidelines for identifying talent.
- Coaching for both junior and senior teams.
Types of Motor Behaviour Research
-
Basic Research: Conducted in laboratory settings with a focus on:
- Simple and controlled tasks.
- Individual learners with limited instructions and feedback.
-
Applied Research: Focused on real-world applications, featuring:
- Complex tasks with sport skill variations.
- Flexible instructions and feedback for small groups.
-
Ecological Research: Investigates natural behaviors in real-world environments:
- Observes interactions without control over the setting.
- Emphasizes goal-oriented outcomes.
Defining Motor Behaviour
- The term "skill" reflects the quality of performance.
- A "skilled" performer achieves:
- Maximum certainty in reaching goals.
- Tasks completed in minimum time.
- Energy-efficient performance.
Skills vs Abilities
- Important to understand the distinction between skills (developed through practice) and abilities (innate qualities).
Skill Classification Approaches
-
One-Dimensional Classification: Based on skill characteristics such as:
- Qualitative aspects of performance.
-
Two-Dimensional Classification: Incorporates both skill characteristics and environmental context:
- Regulatory conditions categorized into stable vs unstable environments.
