MTTC Physical Education Study Review Test. 1. Physical education students who are learning a new motor skill benefit from observing the skill modeled C) by providing immediate opportunities for students by the teacher and students who are competent in the to practice the skill after it skill. In which of the following ways can the teacher optimize observational learning to promote students' development of a new motor skill? A) by providing students with generalized praise fre- quently during their initial attempts at performing the skill B) by explaining the spatial and sequential require- ments of the skill using an internal rather than an external focus of attention C) by providing immediate opportunities for students to practice the skill after it is demonstrated D) by refraining from modeling the skill more than a few times in any one class period so that students develop their own technique 2. Which of the following skills is typically acquired last during fundamental locomotor skill development in children? A) sliding B) skipping C) hopping D) galloping is demonstrated B) skipping 3. Which of the following actions demonstrated by a stu- C) keeping the elbows dent who is catching a foam ball most resembles an immature motor pattern? tucked and cradling the ball against the body A) keeping the eyes on the ball during the ball's ap- proach B) taking one step toward the thrower as the ball is thrown C) keeping the elbows tucked and cradling the ball against the body D) extending the arms and hands to meet the ball 4. Which of the following statements accurately explains B) Improvements in motor how children's growth and development typically influ- performance result large- ences their ability to improve motor performance? A) Improvements in motor performance are mostly ly from practice and oc- cur variably in individ- ual children depending on due to the innate development of flexibility as children experience, heredity, and grow and mature. B) Improvements in motor performance result largely from practice and occur variably in individual children depending on experience, heredity, and learning op- portunities. C) Improvements in motor performance are pre- dictable and chronological; children of the same age usually exhibit the same level of motor performance. D) Improvements in motor performance are on pace with physical development; as children's bodies ma- ture, their motor performance improves, regardless of other factors. 5. During a rhythmic skills unit, a 12-year-old student who has been successfully executing a series of rolls and stunts begins to have difficulty performing the movement sequence. Which of the following possible explanations for this change should be considered learning opportunities. C) The student may be experiencing a physical growth spurt. first? A) The student may be over-practicing the movement sequence. B) The student may have not completed the final stage of gross motor development. C) The student may be experiencing a physical growth spurt. D) The student may no longer feel a sense of accom- plishment performing the sequence. 6. An elementary physical education teacher is aware that students learning new motor skills often exhibit quick gains in skill proficiency, as well as inconsistent performance. During initial instruction, the teacher
