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.
One way to do this is…
•N
•E
•D
•I
•C
•T
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
C -Learner CORRECTS the fault
T -Learner TRAINS or practices the skill
- Copy the demonstration
- After the teacher says what
the MAIN fault is (FEEDBACK)
- Until the skill can be done
well (REFINEMENT)
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.
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)
Eg. Backflip
- 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.
Open and Closed Skills
• An Open skill is one that is dependant on
outside influences and the execution of the skill
may differ slightly each time it is carried out.
Eg…
Overhead Clear (badminton)
Open and Closed Skills
• A Closed skill is one that cannot be
effected by outside influences. Eg…
Javelin Throw
Subjective or Objective
• Objective sport – Where there is a
clear outcome that can be measured in
some way. Eg. The most goals, the
furthest distance, the fastest time, etc.
Subjective or Objective
• Subjective Sport – Where the result is
based on how the performance looks (it
could be described as aesthetic). Normally
the result comes from a judge(s) opinion.
Which is Which?
Homework

• Describe in detail how you were taught it.
(4)

why? (2)
