Which method of assessing learning is used when people are required to perform a skill one week after they completed practicing that skill?

PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING MOTOR SKILLS

1. PRINCIPLE OF INTEREST

• a student's attitude toward learning a skill determines for the most part the amount and kind of learning that takes place.

2. Principle of Practice

• practicing the motor skill correctly is essential for learning to take place.

3. Principle of Distributed Practice

• in general short periods of intense practice will result in more learning than longer, massed practice sessions.

4. Principle of Skill Specificity

• a student's ability to perform one motor skill effectively is independent of his/her ability to perform other motor skills.

5. Principle of Whole-Part Learning.

• the complexity of the skill to be learned and the leaner's ability determine whether it is more efficient to teach the whole skil or break the skill into component parts.

6. Principle of Transfer

• the more indentical two tasks are the greater the possibility that positive transfer will occur. Practice conditions should match the conditions in which the motor skill is going to be used.

7. Principle of Skill Improvement

• the development of motor skills progresses along a continuum from least mature to most mature. The rate of progression and the amount of progress within an individual depends upon the interaction of nature and nurture.

8. Principle of Feedback

• internal and external sources of information about motor performance is essential for learning to take place.

9. Principle of Variable Practice.

• block practice aids in performance while variable practice aids in learning. Variable practice causes an increase in attention.

HOW DO PRINCIPLES OF MOTOR SKILL LEARNING INFLUENCE UNIT PLANNING AND YEARLY PLAN?

Consider:

1. Tasks in a lesson

2. Student interest

3. Sequencing of units during a week

4. When students will practice

5. How students will practice a skill

6. Blocking or Continuous planning of units.
