Influence of Motor Visualizations on the Effectiveness in Learning and Teaching of Swimming Activities to 10-Year-Old Children
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2004, Vol 14, Issue 27
Abstract
The purpose of the work. Teachers' didactic approaches play essential roles during formation of motor visualisations of the motor activities they teach. It is through the transfer of appropriate verbal, visual or kinaesthetic information that they form visualisations of their teaching objectives in their pupils as well as the ways leading to their goals [14, 16]. Thus, the present study is an attempt at defining the relationship between the information pupils receive during swimming lessons and the effectiveness in learning and teaching of complex motor acts - as exemplified by teaching of the crawl.Material and methods. These observations were concentrated on 10-year-old pupils who were attending their obligatory swimming lessons. A method of natural pedagogical experiment was implemented, which consisted in applying visual didactic aids during the formation of motor visualisations of the motor activities being taught All relations between examinated variables were searched with help of chi-square test for independence.Results and conclusions. The findings allow to state that both the cognitive and practical purpose of this study as postulated at its beginning was attained because a relationship between the level of motor visualisations and the effectiveness in learning and teaching of swimming activities was demonstrated. It has been confirmed that the formation process of visualisations of the acquired motor activity is of utmost importance for an effective swimming prowess acquisition by children at a younger school age, whereas the programmed cards have proved to be an efficient vehicle for communicating visual information (supplemented with verbal information) during the formation of motor visualisations of the movements being acquired. The presented findings are compatible with the concepts of present-day theories concerning motor learning and teaching based on a system of information transfer - especially the visual-verbal one - which is inseparably linked with the formation of motor visualisations of the movements being taught.
