BSE255: Consider the Clarity of Your Teaching: Instructional Aspects in Physical Education and Sports Assignment, SUSS, Singapore

Task

In this assignment, use the “Unit of Activity” and lesson/activity plans developed in TMA01 and TMA02, respectively to conduct FOUR (4) lessons/sessions for a class/activity group of at least 16 students/players from the upper primary/lower secondary level. At least one of the lessons/sessions should undergo an evaluation by a colleague or peer. (This evaluation must be signed by a colleague or peer and submitted along with your answer script.)

Execute the four lessons/sessions created and complete the writing tasks given in Questions 1, 2, 3 and 4. In completing the assignment, and where appropriate, you are to:

1. Consider the clarity of your teaching/coaching and the qualities of your demonstrations.
2. Describe the students’/players’ learning (progress/improvement), providing detailed reflections and explanations for each lesson/session and develop a summative report for the whole unit, where required.
3. Show that you have utilised at least TWO (2) Formative Evaluation procedures in your teaching/coaching.
4. Explain the appropriateness of the performance objectives that you have developed, and evaluate the extent to which they were achieved.

Question 1

For each of the four lessons/sessions conducted, write a report evaluating the success of your design and planning for each lesson/session. You are expected to critique in-depth the following:

• student/player performance objectives
• the way you organised your lessons/sessions
• choice of facility and equipment
• choice of teaching/coaching strategies
• duration and timing for each lesson/session component
• student/player responses

In examining the performance objectives, determine and explain the appropriateness of the objectives developed for the learning experience in the three domains (psychomotor/cognitive/affective). You are also required to reflect on and discuss the manner in which you plan for your lessons/sessions in light of the potential limitation of space, number of students/players, and availability of equipment.

Question 2

For each of the four lessons/sessions conducted, write a report to critique your teaching/coaching by analysing the following:

•  quality and method of content presentation/instructions
• quality of demonstrations
• timing of lesson components
• phases of skill development
• relevance and specificity of game scenarios
• understanding of the different types of feedback available/quality of feedback
• the extent to which the lessons/sessions are effectively linked together

Question 3

Write a single report on the students’/players’ learning progress over the four lessons/sessions, describing specifically the implications of your learning design on the different groups of learners:

• different genders
• students/players with different levels of ability

In your answer, you should:

1. demonstrate a clear understanding of the differences between Open and Closed motor skills
2. examine the classification of Open and closed motor skills and the implications of such for the design of learning
3. examine the students’/players’ ability to manage formative assessment (i.e. self and peer-based), and what you (the teacher/coach) learned from the formative assessment process
4. examine the extent to which the learning outcomes were achieved
   

   Question 4

Write a summative report (approximately 500 words) for the project describing/explaining the following:

• successes and failures of planning and preparation
• design characteristics of good task presentation
• learning points for future instruction/coaching
• the progress achieved by the students/players
• necessary amendments/adjustments for future instruction
• an overall evaluation
