Hey everyone

I have a very awkward assessment task on Skill Acquisition, and i was hoping that someone could please help me?

The task requires me to devise a plan to teach an 8 - 10 year old a basic skill for example a tennis serve. Taking into account learner environment and learner characteristics.

Im fine for the syllabus headings that need to be covered its just that Im finding it difficult to implement them into a plan and understanding how to structure the report.

Do I do it by sessions or like an essay with an introduction?

How would you tackle it?

Thanks

Hey, i would probably do it as a plan, but you should check with your teacher about it, I'm sure they would tell you.
Like, for a tennis serve, start by showing them a video maybe, then teach them each skill individually using the partial method of traing and do it in a closed environment, but remember, they are 8 - 10 so they're going to get easily bored so try and keep it interesting to keep their attention.
And, do you need to do stuff about practice methods and that? I think it would be a good idea to include that.
Anyway, hope i've been of help, yours sounds a lot more harder than the one we got. Best of luck. Sam
