DAYLIGHT PROJECTION OF FILM LOOPS AS THE TEACHING MEDIUM IN PERCEPTUAL-MOTOR SKILL TRAINING,
Abstract
A study was made to determine whether film demonstrations are as effective as a live demonstration in teaching a skill. Loops of film demonstrating tumbling skills were projected in the lighted gymnasium for the film-taught groups. Instructor-taught groups were taught by an experienced gymnastic instructor using conventional teaching methods. From the testing of seventy-nine students who were taught the skills it was found that: (1) film-taught groups learned skills without an experienced instructor. (2) live instruction was superior to film instruction. The advantage can be attributed to coaching (See SDC 269-7-25). (3) using film loops instructors with a minimum amount of training and experience can teach skills effectively. The findings of this research confirm previous indications that film demonstrations of a skill are as effective as a live instructor's demonstration.
