Thanks for the video! I think when you're introducing the associative stage you mean that the consistency of OUTCOME will improve (rather than consistency of actions necessarily). From Bernstein's research, we know that experts have execution variability trial to trial. Also, when considering blocked vs varied and part vs whole practice, isn't this mostly just to keep the failure rate below 30% ish so that young learners don't get discouraged and quit? Like you should probably figure out how to swing a bat before you try to hit a moving ball, I guess. Or you could just miss a lot at first and still learn how to swing the bat without hitting the ball (probably very discouraging). Or you could use a hitting tee, which seems a bit more fun due to success... but still only teaches you how to hold a bat and not hit a moving ball (as the skill is not the same due to removing the perceptual component entirely).
Thanks Joel! Some really interesting points... I agree that consistency in general is dependent on the level of demand which certainly should be lower for cognitive learners (for the reason you mentioned). I understand the need for simplicity at this level, but the IGCSE spec often falls frustratingly short! Cheers for your input 👍🏻
@@igpecomplete Thanks for the note (and again for the video!) I know it can take a lot of time to put these together so I really appreciate it. I think all to often coaches just run their favorite "drill" that maybe helped themselves as a player learn, or think that tons of cueing will magically make the body absorb an "English language blueprint" rather than adapting instructions based on the individual's needs. It is fairly obvious that you might not give the same activities to a special needs PE class as those you'd give to their peers. But for some reason when we group kids by age, such consideration seems to go out the window. Cheers 🙏

@@Joel-5747 Agreed... and to be honest many of us are just pushing through till break time 😁
