Learning design for Nonlinear Dynamical Movement Systems

Open access
Davids, Keith·2012·The Open Sports Sciences Journal

Abstract

This paper discusses a theoretical basis for a sport pedagogy predicated on a conception of the learner as a nonlinear dynamical movement system.Here key ideas in ecological dynamics are elucidated before implications are considered for designing performance simulations to enhance learning in sport.It is argued that this approach to learning design in sport can provide practititioners with a relevant model of the learner and of learning processes.A key idea in ecological dynamics proposes that the relevant scale of analysis for understanding human behaviours such as learning is the person-environment relationship, not either entity considered separately.The paper concludes by discussing five principles of learning design implied by a commitment to an ecological dynamics approach to human behavior.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
