Final Project – 100 points
For the final project, you are asked to develop an eight to 12-minute video where you demonstrate how you would apply two of the following concepts from the field of Motor Learning to the teaching of a movement skill. You must include a demonstration by yourself and/or another “actor”, not just a lecture. Meaning, you must actively engage in the teaching of the movement while applying the two motor learning concepts. If your video is merely a lecture, you will recieve 0 for the video component and a significant deduction in the content area. Choose two of the following topics:
Feedback for a specific skill
Knowledge of Results
Knowledge of Performance
Proprioception
Freezing the degrees of freedom – take one skill and show us how you would teach it to a novice. Show which joints are frozen and why and then the order of release.
General Motor Program/Schema Theory – choose one GMP and show it in action during two different motor skills. How do the following parameters change:
Muscles used (will be very similar) Parameters vs Invariant features
Order of activation of muscles and de-activation
Force of muscle contraction
Duration of muscle contraction
Practice session for:
Specific population
Specific motor skill
Transfer
Information Processing:
Skill display and filter issues
Short-term memory processes
Long-term memory and retrieval
Reinforcement/motivation
Key internal reinforcers
Key external reinforcers
Advantages vs disadvantages of negative reinforcement and punishment
Your video must include an introduction to your skill choice and main teaching objectives.
Demonstration of how you apply the Motor Learning concepts
Take note of the environment in which you video for appropriate background, sound, and lighting
FYI, the cell phones you all now have are likely well suited for quality video
In summary, please practice your delivery, clear articulation, voice volume and eye contact are key features in which you must use in your own professional preparation and work settings
Along with the video, you must submit a five-page executive summary of your presentation, with at least six scholarly APA references and documentation. The reference page is in addition to the five-page executive summary.
Remember, APA in-text documentation and references are required. Please review the assignment rubric
You may use Kaltura which is embedded in our course. Kaltura guides are attached, however, you may use another method, such as YouTube, but make certain that we can upload and open it quickly. Please check this. If it takes longer than two minutes to download, you will have to reattach the video.
I encourage you to use Youtube. This format is more robust and has no issues with file size.
For assistance with creating a Youtube video, I have attached the following instructional video link. This link will take you through the process of completing a Youtube video.
