Recommended: Factors affecting student motivation

As the teacher for this assignment, I was to teach my student a new psychomotor skill. The skill we agreed upon was how to fold a pocket square seven different ways. Along the learning process, the student’s behaviors, level of motor skill, and modifications made to fit the student’s learning style were recorded. In this report, the above topics are further discussed. In the beginning of the first lesson, the objective for which the student was to meet by the end of the last session was stated. This objective is the following:
By the end of the fourth lesson, the student will be able to complete at least four different pocket square folds, in under five minutes, without any type of cueing.
The student acknowledged this goal with enthusiasm and agreed it was fair. This enthusiasm was characteristic of the student throughout the early stages of their learning process. In addition, this student was eager to learn and at times appeared to be naïve when thinking folding pocket squares would be easy. These behavioral characteristics demonstrate this student began as an unconscious incompetent. …show more content…

The student had a fair amount of difficulty early on and displayed a decrease in confidence in himself. However, by asking questions and practicing, this student’s motor skills for this task started to improve. This student made the transition from unconscious incompetent to conscious competent. This transition was made over the course of the lessons and was observed by his increase attention to the quality of the pocket square folds and by being more receptive to assistance. This progression in behavioral growth was made along with an improvement in his level of motor skill

  • Teaching the Nuts and Bolts of Physical Education

    710 Words  | 2 Pages

    This topic paper discusses the book Teaching the Nuts and Bolts of Physical Education, which was published in 2008. The accompanying CD-ROM with sample lesson plans was not provided with the book. This book is really a guide to teaching 17 manipulative and 8 locomotor skills that children ages 5 to 12 will learn in physical education class. I will briefly discuss a couple of these skills with a suggested activity. This is a handy guide for a future physical education teacher. There are drawings and steps for each skill and key words or “cues” are also given. Finally, there are “troubleshooting” tips provided to use when a child is not performing the skill correctly and suggestions for practice activities to help children learn the skill. Truly this is a “nuts and bolts” book. It is really more of an instruction manual. I will begin with the skills taught in the book.

  • Essay On Dynamic Systems Theory

    617 Words  | 2 Pages

    The dynamic systems view was developed by Arnold Gesell in 1934 and explores how humans develop their motor skills. From Mr. Gesell’s observations, he was able to conclude that children develop their motor skills in a specific order and time frame. He concluded that children roll, walk, sit, and stand as a result of several factors – the ability to move, the environmental support to move and the motivation/goal to move. Once the child has the motivation, ability, and support, they accept the new challenge. After several failed and successful attempts, they begin to fine-tune and master the movement with continued support and motivation. The dynamic systems theory is not a random process that children experience, the skills are calculated and develop over a period of time.

  • Fine Motor Development Essay

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mastering fine motor skills is a very important process needed for physical and cognitive development. It is during early childhood that most children develop these skills, however there are many children that do not. A young child’s fine motor skills are developed through a vast array of activities that aide the child in doing little things such as grasping a toy as an infant, and buttoning buttons as a toddler or tying shoes when they are a preschooler. Fine motor development is the development of the small muscles in the hands and fingers. Many crucial daily activities depend on strong motor skills, such as writing, using eating utensils and getting dressed, among other things. Without fine motor skills a child will have difficulties preforming

  • Pretivation Of Child Observation: Motor And Physical Development

    For this assignment I had to observe a child between the age range of 0-6 for an hour and half to note their motor and physical development. Before I go in to detail about my observations of the child I must first define what motor and physical development means. Motor development can be broken down into two subcategories. One subcategory would be the gross motor skills development that use large muscle groups to complete task. Then there is the second subcategory deals with, “ Skills that involve large-muscle activities”.( Santrock, J. (2015). Children (13th ed.). Madison, Wis.: Brown & Benchmark. ) The second subcategory would be fine motor skills that, “ involve finely tuned movements” and it known as fine motor skills. Fine motor skills

    The definition of hand-eye coordination is the capability of the vision system to coordinate the information received through the eyes to control and direct the hands on how to function. An increase of this ability is very useful in a hands on work setting. This allows for work to be completed more efficiently and without errors. Not only does better hand-eye coordination help in the occupational setting, it also can be a useful tactic in child development (Daniel, 2011). It has been known to engage children at quicker pace because they are not forced to stop and think about the actions they are performing. With less thinking time, the children are able to absorb new information and skills at a faster

  • Shaping In Human Behavior

    818 Words  | 2 Pages

    Shaping, also known as “The method of Success Approximation”, is the process of reinforcing successively closer and closer approximations of a desired terminal behavior. A terminal behavior, in this instance, is the final desired behavior in the trainee or learner. “Shaping” normally begins at a young age. For example, when children begin to grab things in order to stand up, then eventually they learn to stand by themselves without the help of holding onto something, then standing slowly transitions into learning how to walk. They learn these things through positive reinforcements. This is what “shapes” a child’s behavior.

    For my assignment I have decided to choose a group which I have just finished taking for level 1 Hairdressing and they have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. This is within my current role as a hairdressing lecturer at Hugh Baird College which I have done since October. Within this group there are a couple of people who have support workers. There is one student within the group who has severe learning difficulties and is a more mature student. She also has many health problems which results in her having to carry an oxygen tank around for when she has any problems with her breathing due to her having problems with her heart. There is also another student in the class who has learning difficulties, she is very clever but just needs someone there for when she needs something explaining. She also has a support worker that comes in to give her support. This student has also been going through personal problems at home and has attendance issues. There is another student within this group who has severe dyslexia. She doesn’t have a support worker but the support people who are in there do give her help as she can have a tendency to give up, not to listen and just needs to be kept on track so by sitting next to a person that does have a support worker she gets the help from them. These three students have all had their level 1 qualification extended for a year were the rest of the group have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. Two of these students may progress on to level 2 but one doesn’t have the ability to be able to do this as the requirements are too high for her. The reason the course was extended for them was because they were struggling with the work that was required for this qualification, but as the col...

    Everyone has a different view on how they learn and learning itself. First starting in EXP 105, my understanding of learning was new knowledge and becoming wiser. Taking EXP 105 has truly increased my knowledge of what learning is and the process of it. The most important thing I have learned about learning is that you observe the world around you, make sure it is understandable, and figure out the right way to respond. Learning also provides critical thinking skills. Everyone have different ways of learning and those ways are based on four different learning patterns. The four different types of learning patterns are Sequence, Precision, Technical Reasoning, and Confluence. Learning patterns are very helpful when it comes to everyday life, school work, and your job. Knowing your learning patterns and which ones you should use make

    Motor learning is the study of the processes involved in acquiring motor skills and of the variables that promote or inhibit such acquisition (1). Learning a motor skill can be achieved through systematic physical practice. Motor skills consisted of cognitive and physical components. Most of motor skills are not performed in isolation from cognitive components of task, therefore, not only physical practice but also cognitive interventions, such as motor imagery and action observation, can facilitate motor skill learning (2). Empirical research demonstrated that action observation, and imagery has been considered as an effective tool in improving aspects of motor skill learning (3).

  • The Importance Of Study Skills

    An important question to address when attempting to identify effective study strategies and their relationship with academic performance is, “What are study skills?” The term “study skills” can be defined as proficiency in identifying, organizing, memorizing, and using information in order to succeed academically (Proctor, Prevatt, Adams, Hurst, & Petscher, 2006). Activities identified as study skills include “time management, setting appropriate goals, selecting an appropriate study environment, employing appropriate note-taking strategies, concentrating, selecting main ideas, self-testing, organization, and managing anxiety,” (Proctor et al., 2006). When studying, college students employ a variety of these study strategies that they believe
