Movement Education - Lecture Notes

Flashcards cover the key concepts, pioneers, frameworks, and principles of Movement Education from the provided lecture notes, including MEF concepts, foundational skills, historical figures, and instructional approaches.

What is Movement Education?

A strand of education that aims to develop an individual's motor skills through physical movement or activity.

What are the four movement concepts that Movement Education Framework (MEF) uses to connect movement with personal meaning and aesthetic expression?

Body, space, effort, and relationship.

What are Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) and what categories do they include?

Building blocks of movement; include loco-motor, manipulative (object control), and stability skills.

List some loco-motor skills included in FMS.

Walk, Run, Skip, Jump, Balance, Catch, Throw, Kick, Strike, Stand.

Who were the three historical pioneers of movement education?

Francois Delsarte, Liselott Diem, and Rudolf Von Laban.

What were Francois Delsarte’s key contributions to movement education?

Movement as a union of time, space, and motion; the concept of parallelism; and the nine laws of motion (altitude, force, motion, sequence, direction, form, velocity, reaction, extension).

What did Liselott Diem promote in movement education?

A natural approach encouraging children to move freely, using simple equipment to develop a wide range of movement responses and exploration.

What was Rudolf von Laban's major contribution to movement education?

A theory of movement focusing on effort; distinguishing expressive movement from functional movement; the four factors weight, space, time, and flow.

Which three learning domains were emphasized in the revival of movement education by Laban and colleagues?

Cognitive, Psychomotor, and Affective.

What is the Movement Education Framework (MEF) and its core message?

A framework adaptable to all ages; Movement is the core content of physical education; it fosters communication about movement across contexts.

What are the four key MEF concepts?

Body, Space, Effort, Relationship.

What planes describe space in MEF?

Sagittal, Frontal, and Transverse (Traverse) planes.

What are the components of Effort in MEF?

Quality, shade, passions, and inner attitudes.

What elements constitute the Relationship concept in MEF?

People, Timing, Environment, Positioning, and Goal.

What are the three basic movement competence categories on land?

Locomotor, Stability, and Manipulative.

What are examples of land-based Locomotor skills?

Walking, Running, Skipping, Jumping, Hopping, Galloping.

What are examples of water-based locomotor skills?

Flutter kick, diving, crawling, gliding, and other aquatic movements.

Define Locomotor, Non-locomotor, and Manipulative skills.

Locomotor: moves the body through space; Non-locomotor: stationary movements without travel; Manipulative: handling an object with hands/feet.

What are Movement Strategies and Tactics?

Strategies are plans to achieve goals in activities; Tactics are the specific actions to implement those strategies, requiring understanding of game structure and promoting strategic thinking.

What are the three laws for movement in the Harmonic Movement framework?

Law of Harmonic Posture, Law of Opposed Movement, Law of Harmonic Muscular Function.

What are the nine Laws of Motion proposed by Francois Delsarte?

Altitude, Force, Motion, Sequence, Direction, Form, Velocity, Reaction, Extension.

What does the Law of Harmonic Posture state?

There is a need to obtain a balanced and natural attitude, like the pose of a statue in rest.

What does the Law of Opposed Movement state?

For balance, an opposed movement of other body segments is required when one part moves.

What is the Law of Harmonic Muscular Function?

The force of a muscular function must relate to the size of the muscles; large muscles (around the pelvis) should initiate movements, with a proper contraction sequence.

What are some benefits of Movement Education?

Supports physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development; promotes self-esteem; teamwork; fosters active lifestyles and can reduce health risks.

What is the focus of Lesson 4 in Movement Education?

Movement Competence: show comprehensive knowledge of movement skills, differentiate Locomotor, Non-locomotor, and Manipulative skills, and categorize movement.

What does the NASPE standard 1 state?

Demonstrates competency in motor and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.

What does the NASPE standard 2 state?

Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities.

What did Logsdon and Barrett claim about movement education?

“Movement is the content of physical education.”
