There are several different methods of learning motor skills, like traditional (linear) and differential (nonlinear) learning training. The traditional motor learning approach proposes that learners improve a skill just by repeating it. According to the teaching principles, exercises are selected along continua from easy to hard and from simple to…

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a neurobehavioral disorder prevalent in childhood, demonstrate a persistent pattern of inattention and hyperactive and/or impulsive behavior that is more severe than their typically developing peers. Much of this challenging behavior is observed in the classroom. However, current…

Purpose: This study aims to study the impact of the eight-week high-intensity interval training implemented by the national track and field team on some motor skills by gender. Technique and method: The study involves 17 male and 16 female athletes ages 18 to 26 who currently pursue an active sports life in the Turkish national cross-country…

In two separate experiments, the authors investigated how a complex animated basketball scene should be designed in order to avoid the high cognitive load due to the transient nature of information. Using system-paced segments and decreasing the video's presentation speed were tested as instructional strategies to reduce students' cognitive load.…

This study aimed to develop a school activity screening tool based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) using the modified Delphi technique (MDT). To collect information about activities needed in schools, nine occupational therapy personnel, five scholars, and six teachers and inspectors participated in…

Purpose: This study examined how content knowledge (CK) varies between teachers with different levels of content expertise in teaching volleyball. In addition, it investigated changes to the content-experienced (C-Exd) teachers' enacted pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and their students' performances after developing CK, compared with those of…

Motor impairment is common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and, as such, a potential target for interventions to improve adaptive functioning. This study investigated motor skill acquisition in children with ASD (n = 15, 12 males; ages 7-16 years) during iCan Bike Camp, a 1-week, community-based intervention (5 × 75-min sessions) to teach…

Dressing is a fundamental independent living skill (ILS). Vision is an integrative sense which affords learning via sighted observation. Visual impairment (VI) denies/restricts access to learning via sight. As a result, children with VI and conditions where VI may be a component (e.g. Down syndrome (DS)) require structured, systematic support to…

Background: Cycling has gained more attention as an important lifelong physical activity. Learning to cycle independently without assistance is a milestone for most children that requires time and practice to master. Cycling was recently added to the motor development model and so a valid and reliable measure of cycling ability is required to…

Imagery training had been proven to improve skills in some athletes in sports training. Yet in education, it left a big question. The purpose of this research was to prove whether the learning process integrated by imagery training could improve learning outcomes in cartwheel skill. The research method used Classroom Action Research method with…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the context of service delivery decision-making in school-based occupational therapy practice. Participants included 14 occupational therapists. The primary source of data came from semi-structured, open-ended interviews. Open inductive coding was used for in-vivo data analysis. Themes in the…

Purpose: To develop a conceptual framework that can be employed in secondary school agriculture classes on skills development for food security. Design/Methodology/Approach: The conceptual framework was developed from the findings of an earlier study by the authors on the effect of agricultural teaching approaches on skills development for food…

Background: In this paper, we explore physical education from a relational worldview. Theoretically guided by an ecological dynamics framework, this perspective calls us to conceptualise 'education' in its etymological roots -- ex-ducere -- meaning 'to lead' an individual 'out' into the world. In doing so, an educator would employ a 'softer'…
