Instruction Of Competent Psychomotor Skill

Abstract

Instruction of competent psychomotor skill necessitates an eclectic approach. The principles of learning, complemented with learning styles and sensory modalities preferences, provide a background for teaching physical skills. The use of the psychomotor domain of Bloom’s Taxonomy as a map and corresponding behavioral objectives foster the mastery of competent psychomotor skills. Finally, the choice of instructional strategies and teaching methods enhances the efficacy of instruction of competent psychomotor skills, in addition to student learning assessment, instructor feedback, and student reflection of learning.
