Reflecting on the overall unit plan as well as daily planning I think I implemented my objectives well and further by breaking down the psychomotor skill based upon students needs and feedback. This unit further gave me a better understanding in skill development by incorporating all all three learning domains (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) within the instruction period, and as a reinforcement tool during student’s practice/ on task time. Pre assessment results underline and further back this fact, based upon the fact that the skill was introduced only through visual cue giving.
Auditory cues revealed to be most effective when accompanied as an aid with visual or kinesthetic cues. Even as a non auditory learner it is a reminder, a reference …show more content…
On the other hand I think I could have cut the unit shorter and introduce another dance or rhythmic activity, instead of focusing on step aerobics for the entire 4 weeks. This would have brought more dynamic in the unit, i further conducted a small group routine in which the student had to create their own routine, an activity that seemed to engage more students and extended my expectations as well. Overall, I thought that based upon the unit and the success the post-assessment showed, I performed well and I was positively surprised to see such a great outcome in the group performance. It was a joy to watch and in the end the entire unit showed me how maximum practice time as well as proper instructions can affect learning. Focusing on the turn-step alone further helped me as a teacher to grow and see that students learn at a different pace and with different cues. The inclusion of all three learning styles was something I didn’t consider at the beginning or was not even aware of during my unit, but based upon this analysis it is definitely something I will try to incorporate in all my future lessons as a
