NASPE/NCATE Standard Analyze and correct critical elements of motor skills and performance concepts. What are you doing at your schools?
Motor Development (KIN 186) Classify K-12 student level of motor development Project - teach, record and analyze a K-12 performance (one learner) Not comprehensive enough to meet NCATE standard on its own TCs have not taken skill courses yet Activity classes Analyze a demonstration by instructor that may/may not include errors Classes: Contemporary, Dance/Gymnastics, Fitness & Wellness, Invasion, Net/Wall Not systematic
Steps at WCU Selected courses where skill analysis would be conducted Selected skills TCs were to analyze in consultation with instructor Selected skills Recruited video participants Shot video using a pocket video camera (Kodak Zi8) All participants did the same skill several times. For example, each participant completed 5 frisbee forehands and so on. Selected skill executions to be included Edited videos to create final products
Gymnastics Self-produced Participant – undergraduate gymnastics team member Fitness Wellness Professionally produced Participant - adults Invasion Games Self-produced Participants – middle school students Net/Wall Games Self-produced Participants – middle school students
Watch video segment three times, each followed by a 10- second title screen. If skill was performed correctly, indicate so. If not, must indicate what cues were performed incorrectly. Answers may only come from cues presented in class Cues not provided to TCs, had to know them Source of DEBATE!! Instrument Score incorporated into final grade (10%)
Spring and Fall 2011 data Submitted to NCATE 3/15/2012
Assessment and Tech (KIN 347) TCs create psychomotor assessments and then use them in the gym with their peers. Skill courses Faculty create “practice” videos exactly same as test video except instructor and TCs process/debrief results afterwards Instructor “quizzes” TCs by demonstrating skills incorrectly. Motor development Embed more skill analysis practice into motor development, however this course is typically taken before the skill classes
