Emergence – The Movement Academy

Emergence – The Movement Academy: IntroThe Movement Academy: Intro was developed to meet the needs of those early in their learning journey who are curious about ecological dynamics. It is 12 weeks long, including 12 presentations with either a theoretical or practical emphasis, 4 group discussions, reading assignments, an interactive Discord message board, access to our Practitioner’s Bundle (4 courses in one), and more! If you are keen to learn more about movement in sports, this course is for you!COMPONENTS OF THE ACADEMYSCIENCE: ANALYSIS OF MOVEMENT SKILLLearning ObjectivesTo identify and describe how complex systems operate within the context of sportTo understand the nature and role of information in the coordination and control of movement behaviorTo determine where each Sport Movement Specialist authentically stands in their personalized, conceptualized view of movement skillSCIENCE: UNDERSTANDING OF MOVEMENT BEHAVIORLearning ObjectivesTo use the athlete-environment system as the main scale of analysis in assessing movement skill in sport (and in the world too)To be able to study the problem-solving processes of the mover in contextTo determine how we may be able to be able to use the concept of affordance perception and selection to assess the current movement skill of a performer and in the subsequent design of practice activities in the learning environmentGet Emergence – The Movement Academy: Intro downloadART: CREATING A LEARNING ENVIRONMENTLearning ObjectivesTo conceptualize the Sport Movement Specialist as an environment designer, a problem setter, or a facilitator of movement skillTo understand how constraint manipulation can help us set adequately challenging movement problems to be solved by containing the most relevant information and affordances for the athlete to interact withTo apply the concept of ‘repetition without repetition’ to help increase the skilled movement behavior of our athletesART: GUIDING THE PERFORMER TO ENHANCED MOVEMENT SKILLLearning ObjectivesTo determine the various individual differences between performers which will change how they solve movement problems as well as how the Sport Movement Specialist could aim to guide them most effectivelyTo understand how factors such as instruction and feedback can influence the learning processTo provide a learning environment which prioritizes innovation, creativity, authenticity, and freedom in the movement skill of athletesPresentations(Every week)Every week we email you a presentation to help facilitate your learning journey. Each presentation has either a theoretical or practical emphasis. Homework is issued each week to help prepare you for each presentation, so you get the most out of the experience!Intro week: our story, setting up the courseWeek 1: Summary of Cognitive ScienceWeek 2: Summary of Ecological ScienceWeek 3: Why Can’t These Two Theories Be Married in Practice?Week 4: Information-Movement CouplingWeek 5: The Constraints-Led ApproachWeek 6: Representative Learning DesignWeek 7: Repetition w/o Repetition and Differential LearningWeek 8: Self-Organization, Wayfinding, and Representative Co-DesignWeek 9: Practical Application: Skill Acquisition PeriodizationWeek 10: Practical Application: The Warm UpWeek 11: Practical Application: The Weight RoomWeek 12: Practical Application: AgilityGet Emergence – The Movement Academy: Intro download
