ACE-GFI: teaching methods
motor domain
typically the focus of many group instructors as they design classes
upbeat?
weak pulsations
Effective cues are specific cues: give example:
"keep chest lifted and remember to breathe"
Appropriate guidelines for GFI?
**use anticipatory cues prior to movements **limit number of consecutive hops on one leg to fewer than 8 **remind participants to stay on their toes during most movements ((DON"T!! cycle below 110 revolutions per minute in cycling class)
Four questions for exercise evaluation?
1. what is the functional objective? 2. which joint actions achieve this objective safely? 3. does it start with stability and progress with mobility in safe ROM? 4. who are my participants?
tempo
BPM of each song
What does DRILL stand for in planning choreography??
Direction, Rhythm, Intensity, Lever Length
What does STEMS stand for in purposes of cueing?
Safety, Timing, Education, Motivation, Structure
Indoor cycling: setup
best suited for a horseshoe-shaped class layout
cognitive stage of learning
errors and imperfect form are the norm, as participants are seeing the movements for the first time
accent
heavy accent in first beat of measure (downtempo)
cognitive domain
includes "left-brain skills" like counting and "right brain skills" like pattern recognition
Command teaching style
instructor makes all the decisions and the participants follow the instructor's directions and movements
reciprocal teaching style
involves the use of an observer or partner to provide feedback to each participant
affective domain
is positively affected by GFI's who act as positive role models in terms of overall attitude about exercise
Adhering to accepted volume recommendations
keep music between 75-80 deibels
autonomous stage of learning
movements are habitual and participants are able to identify and correct their own errors
associate stage of learning
participants have mastered the basics and are able to concentrate on occasional cues to improve performance
self-check teaching style
participants perform a given task and then record the results, comparing their results against given criteria or past performances
practice teaching style
provides opportunities for individualization and private instructor feedback for each participant
GFI's number one responsibilitiy
safety of participants
meter
sentences in a musical phrase (64 beats/ song typically)
downbeat?
strong pulsations
inclusion teaching style
the instructor offers alternate positions for the participants with different skill levels
