BJJ learning theory continued

My cousin was kind enough to send me the passage I reference earlier.

Just another framework that might be useful.

DOMAINS OF LEARNING

C. Psychomotor domain. The category of learning objectives is concerned with how a learner controls or moves his/her body. The following classifications have been formulated for this domain.



Categories:

1. Imitation -early stages in learning a complex skill, overtly, after the individual has indicated a readiness to take a particular type of action. Imitation includes repeating an act that has been demonstrated or explained, and it includes trial and error until appropriate response is achieved.



Illustrative verbs stating objectives:

Begin , assemble, attempt, carry out, copy, construct, duplicate, follow, mimic, move, practice, proceed, repeat, reproduce, respond, organize, sketch, try


2. Manipulation - individual continues to practice a particular skill or sequence until it becomes habitual and the action can be performed with some confidence and proficiency. The response is more complex than that of the previous level, but the learner still isn’t sure of him/herself.

Illustrative verbs stating objectives:

(same as imitation) acquire, assemble, complete, conduct, do, execute, improve, maintain, make, manipulate, operate, pace, perform, produce, progress, use


3. Precision - skill has been attained. Proficiency is indicated by a quick, smooth, accurate performance, requiring a minimum of energy. The overt response is complex and performed without hesitation.

Illustrative verbs stating objectives:

(same as manipulation and imitation), achieve, accomplish, advance, exceed, excel, master, reach, refine, succeed, surpass, transcend


4. Articulation – involved in an even higher level of precision. The skills are so well developed that the individual can modify movement patterns to fit special requirements or to meet a problem situation



Illustrative verbs stating objectives:

Adapt, alter, change, excel, rearrange, reorganize, revise, surpass, transcend

5. Naturalization – response is automatic. The individual begins to experiment. Creating new motor acts or ways of manipulating materials out of understandings, abilities, and skills developed. One acts “without thinking”



Illustrative verbs stating objectives:

Arrange, combine, compose, construct, create, refine, originate, transcend
