Field Experience 4

SKILL THEMES AND STUDENT ABILITIES

Friday February 10th, destination: Elementary School 9:10am. In this reflection, I will be concentrating on the skill themes learned and the students abilities. There are 3 categories of skill themes, manipulative, non manipulative, and locomotor. In the lesson I observed, the students were learning the volleyball bump and serve. The skill themes that were associated with this lesson were:
Manipulative: Catching
                      Collecting
                      Volleying
Non Manipulative: Transferring Weight 
                               Jumping and Landing
                               Stretching
Locomotor: Walking
                    Running
                    Chasing 
                    Sliding
Ability is the skills and qualities which make it possible for you to achieve a task. These are stable and enduring characteristics which are genetic and can be either completely perceptual, completely motor or a combination (known as psychomotor). The students abilities in the 4th grade class that I observed were mainly coordination, balance, and flexibility. At their age level, I thought many of the students were on track developmentally with their abilities. Each student had good coordination inorder to serve the volleyball over the net.
