3. Learning New Skills Most of us take part in some activities without having to learn new skills. This is because we have already learned some skills e.g. running, catching, throwing, speaking. For most people these are simple skills and can be done easily. During your course you will look at ways to learn a NEW SKILL.

4. One way to do this is… N E D I C T

5. Learning Skills N -Teacher NAMES the skill - eg. Smash E -Teacher EXPLAINS the skill - Explain the movements D -Teacher DEMONSTRATES the skill - Show the skill to be learned I -Learner IMITATES the skill - Copy the demonstration C -Learner CORRECTS the fault - After the teacher says what the MAIN fault is (FEEDBACK) T -Learner TRAINS or practices the skill - Until the skill can be done well (REFINEMENT)

6. Other ways to learn a skill Whole – part – whole Where you look at a whole action, isolate and practice one part, then return to the whole action Eg. Swimming Front Crawl - Whilst performing the front crawl, the teacher said my leg kick was inefficient because I kick from the knee rather than the hip. Using this feedback, I took a float and worked just on my leg action. Once I had changed my leg kick action I then returned to the full stroke.

7. Other ways to learn a skill Gradual Build Up Where you start off with part of the skill and gradually add more to it until you perform the whole skill. (good for learning difficult or dangerous skills) - When I was learning the backflip, I started by trying a backward roll. The next step was to do the backflip from a trampette onto a safety mat with the teacher holding a jumper round my waist for support. The next step was the same but without the jumper, but with the teacher still helping, then with no support. The next stage was from a bench to a mat, then finally a backflip from the ground. Eg. Backflip
