Document Summary
Limitations of comparing a learners technique to someone else"s: Certain techniques may be more or less suitable due to individual differences. An observed flaw may have various underlying causes. Errors are not always the result of poor technique but motor learning. Instructors should be able to identify errors that are caused not by poor technique but by problems related to motor learning and control. Observational and analytical skills do not come naturally to instructors. Good observation starts with a plan: identify the skills purpose and key elements. Critical features; specific observable body movements that affect performance: determine the viewing perspective. Want to observe critical features unobstructed: decide on the number of observations. Depend on; instructor"s experience, task complexity, learners level: consider using video. Determine the cause of an error and its resolution: Identify cause of errors is crucial to enhancing performance. Possible sources of error related to motor learning and control: Interaction of the person, task, and the environment.
