  1. Using basic biomechanics to support observation, assessment and progression of learningDr Kristy Howells

  2. Quick pause How do you currently observe movement? How do you observe the movements of ALL of your children within your class?

  3. 3 observational approaches Biomechanical approach – what body parts are doing vs what supposed to be doing! Skill phases approach Combo approach.

  4. Say what you see! “Just think Catchphrase!” (Howells and Gregory, 2016, ch 7) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQGL9QTs2F8 4.08 mins Biggest game of Pairs http://mypuzzle.org/find-the-pair

  5. Freddie

  6. What would you say to Freddie? “Freddie that was a lovely cartwheel, but you’re legs weren’t very high, you need legs to be higher?”

  7. Positive Challenge “Freddie that was a lovely cartwheel as I could see you were using your hands to take your body weight as you kicked your legs up. Your next challenge is for your feet to try and reach the ceiling, by kicking harder as you kick up and into the cartwheel” ‘Freddie, I want you to focus on your left hand when you complete your next cartwheel and try to have to totally flat on the mat so you can use it to push on in the same way that you are using your right hand.’

  8. One fault at a time! Key is to have a criteria sheet. Not secret checklist! Use self assessment, photo, video Benefit learning.

  9. Biomechanically

  10. Joseph - 3 yr old Sausage roll

  11. Recommendations to progress? Legs – together throughout, allow momentum to continue Arms – above head by ears, stop him getting stuck. Key = being successful, focus on one part of his body.

  12. Emily

  13. Quick pause Have you ever observed equipment rather than children? When would you observe equipment and not children?

  14. A B C

  15. What are the next steps? A B C What do you also need to know?...... What are your positive challenges?

  16. Jules – end of movement

  17. Concluding Thoughts • Need criteria sheets for comparison to what is being observed • Checklists for recording success (assessments) • Biomechanical focus • Skill phase focus • Combo, introduce early for analysis and evaluation of performance (DfE, 2014) • Be cautious of language. • Set positive challenges.
