iApp 11- teaching the motor learning skill to a novice- Submit iApp by Thursday night For this app , you need to find someone who is a novice in performing your ML skill of juggling. (teach 3-ball cascade juggling even if your skill was 4-ball juggling!). Ask them if they are willing to try to learn the skill for a period of 30 minutes (preferable separated into two 15-minute sessions, or three 10-minute sessions – distributed practice is more effective than massed – remember?). Prior to instruction, think about the following questions and write down guidelines for your instruction, diagnosing errors, augmented feedback, and practice design. After you are done teaching, reflect on the process; write down comments that would improve the learning experience. Submit a short video (no more than a 30 sec) of you engaged in the instruction/learning process – select a time closer to the end of their practice rather than the beginning. See Canvas for uploading video. You will electronically submit TYPED ANSWERS on Canvas by Thursday at 11:30 - AND, bring hard copy to class on Monday after Thanksgiving.

7) THINK THIS THROUGH BEFORE YOU TEACH. How will you (i.e., how did you) wisely and effectively use the 30 minutes of practice. I will teach the novice how to effectively catch one ball at a time by limiting the number of balls in their hand. This will reduce the attention needed at one point in time so that it does not overwhelm the novice. Once they are comfortable, I will demonstrate how to do the two-ball catch and so on once they get comfortable with that step as well. We will discuss where to toss the balls and the pattern that they follow. I will demonstrate the crisscross pattern to him whilst holding the balls and then I will demonstrate while throwing. The novice will then repeat the same process back to me so that I can see where errors are made, if any. After the 30 minutes of instruction and practice, interview your learner . First of all, briefly describe learner (child, young adult etc. – anything unique about this learner that was relevant). The novice is a 19-year-old sophomore student at Iowa State university. He played baseball for a significant number of years prior to college and thus made me predict that he would catch on easily because of the hand eye coordination needed for such a sport. 8) What did they find to be EFFECTIVE in terms of instruction, AF, practice ? They liked that I was encouraging them through positive reinforcement. They stated that this helped motivate them to do better since they believed they were on the right track. They also found that the demonstration aided in their improvement as well since they could imagine what the outcome is supposed to be like. 9) Was there anything you did that was frustrating for them or that they perceived to be ineffective? They felt like pointing out the errors that I saw made them more irritated on a mental level. This then made them feel like their confidence was lowered thus causing them to perform worse. They felt like they could already identify that there were mistakes being made, but they couldn’t identify specifics. 10) What suggestions did your learner have to improve the teaching/learning process? They wish I demonstrated the juggling process a little slower. Instead of just juggling, they felt that if I slowed down the process it would of made it easier to identify the mistakes that were being made. The novice also felt that I could reduce the amount of times I encouraged them so that they could focus on the task themselves.
