Sports Education: Techniques and Child Development
Form-Focused Techniques vs. Game-Focused Learning
Form-Focused Techniques (Imposed Solutions) | Focus on the Game Form (Trial and Error) | Focusing on Directed Games (Directed Search) |
Analytical techniques for the formal game | Exclusive use of formal game | The game for particular situations |
Game decomposed into technical elements | Game untied or broken | Game decomposed into functional units of increasing complexity |
Ranking techniques | To meet global technical situations | The principles governing the learning game |
Game Actions mechanized: uncreative, stereotyped behaviors | Creative play as the basis of individualism. Tactical anarchy | Techniques based on tactics. Oriented and caused |
Comprehension problems | Motor renunciation, varied tactics but with gaps and poor coordination of collective action | Tactical Intelligence: correct interpretation and application of the principles of the game, viability of the technique and creativity in game actions |
Critiques of Traditional Sports Education
Traditional education is criticized by sports for its:
- Analytic character
- Directive approach
- Disappointment
- Delay in completion
- Causing boredom
- Learning focused on the achievement of others to succeed
Child-Centered Sports Education
Possible teaching of sports in connection with the child’s world:
- Promoting leisure
- Favoring contact with global reality
- Awakening the imagination
- Focusing on progress and mastery of skills
- Losing by concerns about strict technical correction
- Building a hobby through sport
Intuitive vs. Synthetic Vision in Teaching
Intuitive Vision:
Idea of the child and its action game: Unaware that accumulates knowledge, going from the particular to the general. Their biomechanical movements parameters are analyzed from the sport. Analysis: Decomposition of a set of techniques. Subordination to the item and logical classification of techniques.
Idea of teaching or intuitive act: Fill the empty box, decomposition in phases. Add the link stage and movement techniques to get the total.
Synthetic Vision:
The child is a player to adapt to team play. We take qualities. Must assume the general aspects of the game and their moves are part of the tax system gear to the game.
- Prefer collective situations.
- Positioning and variable geometric system structure.
- Movement of ball and players.
- Analysis of qualities.
- Development of a system that allows integration.
- Division of duties.
- Automation training and coordination of individual actions together.
The child has previous schemes. Rearrange knowledge from the general to the particular. The movement is a complex act.
- Determination of constants between elements of discipline.
- Development of structure.
- Determine the simplest form and reorganize based motor aspect of this form.
Phases of Development in Sports
Phases | Communication in Action | Structuring | Relationship with the Ball |
Anarchism Game
| Abuse of the word | Agglutination around ball | High use of central vision |
Decentralization
| Prevalence of speech | Occupation of space in terms of gameplay elements | From central to peripheral vision |
Structure
| Verbal communication and gestures | Sound-space Occupancy | From the visual to the proprioceptive control |
Development
| Superiority of motor communication |
| Proprioceptive capabilities Optimization |
