255 Homework

Devon Howard
Chapter 4- 2,8,17
Chapter 5-1,3,5

2.) What are some things teachers can do to improve communication with learners in task presentation?
     Most importantly, teachers need to have the student's attention to covey learning and give feedback.  Teachers should give examples, and non examples. Repeat difficult tasks, and most importantly check for understanding.
8.) What are some major causes of student inattention? How can the teacher best prevent inattention?
      Causes for student in attention may be a result of being flat out bored. If the teacher is bored teaching, then the students are most likely bored learning. A student may not be able to see the teachers face or cannot hear as a result of bad communication. Also,  if the lesson isn't flowing, the students attention will most likely be lost. Teacher's can prevent inattention by making the lesson fun. Also, by using effective forms of communication and getting the students involved with the lesson. Checking for understand is a great example, of a way to keep the students attention.


1.) Identify and describe the three different content moves that establish progression and represent the way the teacher develops lesson content. 
      Establishing progression and representing teacher development consists of extension (establishing progressions. Refinement (quality of performance), and application ( give students opportunity to apply/assess their skills).

3.) How should the progression established for an open skill differ from that of a closed skill?
     Progressions for closed skills should be introduced in the simplest environment and extend practice into all environments used in activity. Practice of open skills in closed environments should be limited. 

5.) Develop the extension column for a closed skill and open skill, attending to the unique aspects of progression established in the chapter. 
     Ex. Basketball Dribble:
          Extension: Dribble a ball in personal space. Dribble and pass the ball. Maintain possession against a defensive player.
