Movement Education | MPE 6
Summary
TLDRThis transcript discusses movement education, a field focused on developing motor skills through physical movement. It explores how movement education relates to physical education by covering four key concepts: body, space, effort, and relationships. The speakers explain the physics behind body movements, the importance of spatial awareness, and how effort shapes movement quality. They also cover the historical development of movement education from the 1960s to the 1980s, and its resurgence in the 2000s, highlighting its significance for lifelong physical health and education.
Takeaways
- 🏋️♂️ Movement education is a teaching strand aimed at developing individuals' motor skills through physical movement.
- 🧠 The curriculum relates to movement education by teaching essential concepts such as body, space, effort, and relationship.
- 🤸♀️ Studying the body in movement education involves understanding body shapes, parts, and their roles in movement physics.
- 🚶♂️ Body actions in movement education include non-locomotor skills (fixed base), locomotor skills (movement from one place to another), and manipulative skills (controlling objects).
- 🌍 Space in movement education is about understanding directions and the three planes of movement: sagittal, transverse, and frontal.
- 💪 Effort in movement education refers to the amount and quality of force applied to execute movements, affecting speed, tension, and directness.
- 🏃♂️ Physical education classes aim to promote movement, teaching skills for lifelong use beyond just breaking a sedentary lifestyle.
- 📚 The movement education framework has evolved from dance education in the 1960s to physical education and exercise classes.
- 📈 The 1960s to 1980s saw a growth in movement education with a focus on fundamental movement skills and the development of a curricular approach.
- 📉 Fitness overshadowed movement education during the 1970s fitness boom, leading to a temporary decline in the study of motor skills.
- 🔄 The revival of movement education in the late 1990s and early 2000s emphasized the importance of basic movement concepts and patterns for coordinated body movement.
Q & A
What is the main objective of movement education?
-Movement education aims to educate individuals to develop their motor skills through physical movement, helping them understand how their bodies work, perform specific tasks, and engage in physical activities.
How is movement education related to the physical education curriculum?
-Movement education is a foundational element of the physical education curriculum. It teaches essential concepts like body, space, effort, and relationships, which are crucial for performing and understanding physical activities.
What are the four key concepts of movement education?
-The four key concepts in movement education are the body, space, effort, and relationships. These elements help students learn about their body's movements, spatial awareness, the effort needed for different tasks, and how their body interacts with objects or other people.
How does movement education approach the concept of the body?
-Movement education views the body through a physics-related framework, focusing on body shapes, how different body parts contribute to movement, and the distinction between non-locomotor, locomotor, and manipulative skills.
What are non-locomotor, locomotor, and manipulative skills in movement education?
-Non-locomotor skills involve movements where the body stays in place (e.g., stretching or twisting). Locomotor skills involve moving from one place to another (e.g., skipping or jumping). Manipulative skills involve controlling objects, such as dribbling a ball or throwing.
What are the three planes of movement, and how do they affect physical activity?
-The three planes of movement are the sagittal (dividing the body into left and right, allowing forward and backward movements), the frontal (dividing the body into front and back, facilitating sideways movements), and the transverse (allowing twisting movements). These planes guide the directions in which the body can move.
How does effort relate to movement education?
-Effort in movement education refers to the intensity and manner in which a movement is performed, such as making a movement fast or slow, hard or soft, and direct or indirect, depending on the activity.
How did movement education evolve in physical education during the 1960s to 1980s?
-During this time, movement education became a recognized part of physical education, focusing on developing motor skills. It introduced a structured approach to teaching body awareness, effort, space, and relationships in movement.
Why did fitness overshadow movement education in the 1970s?
-In the 1970s, the 'fitness boom' shifted the focus from movement education to fitness and physical activity, which led to movement education being less emphasized as the focus shifted towards health and fitness-related goals.
What are some examples of fundamental movement patterns taught in movement education?
-Fundamental movement patterns include basic motions like running, skipping, jumping, throwing, balancing, and catching. These patterns help develop coordination and enhance physical and neurological health.
