FMS exam
why is developing fundamental movement skills imp - Answer-The development of fms skills are
important because they are the stepping stones for more complex skills in a Childs life. it helps the child
participate in day to day activities
what is a fundamental movement skill? - Answer-they are movement patterns that involve different
body parts such as the arms and legs and trunk and head. eg running, hopping, catching, throwing and
balancing
what are the categories or fundamental movement skills - Answer-- body management skills
- locomotor skills
- object control skills
body management skills - Answer-involve balancing the body in stillness and in motion.
eg. balancing on one foot- static or dynamic balancing, bending and stretching as well as climbing.
- walking on a beam, forward roll, climb
Locomotor skills - Answer-involve transporting the body in any direction from one point to another.
eg. crawling and walking, running, hopping leaping, jumping, skipping.
- sprints, jump for distance, jumps for height, side gallop.
, object control skills - Answer-require controlling implements and objects such as balls, hoops, bats, and
ribbons that involve the use of body parts, such as hands and feet.eg. throwing, catching, kicking,
striking, dribbling and bouncing
- underarm throw, chest pass, kick, punt, hand and foot dribble
why is identifying children interests, strengths and needs important? - Answer-it enables children to see
the values of health, physical activity and personal fitness. increases the children's self esteem and
confidence in the task they are participating in
how long does Kelly 1989 suggest that it take in terms of teaching time to develop proficiency in FMS -
Answer-kelly states that is tale 10 hours of quality teaching, meaning that children need lots of
opportunities for instructions, practice and mastery each day. Planning should take into consideration
and teach and observe 4-5 skills per year and lots of experience for the skills
why is a warm up such an important part of lesson? - Answer-it allows for students to tune in- its the
transition phase that prepares the body for physical activity to follow by increasing the pulse rate and
therefore the blood and oxygen supply to the muscles. it also prepares the mind for a change in pace
and activity
what is the difference between child structured experiences and teacher structures experiences. -
Answer-teacher structure experiences require large groups and lots of participation. they can be used in
large groups and to set boundaries or behaviour or get children to tune into introduce the skill or
activity. eg netball drill or a game of netball
child structured experience - Answer-when the teachers provide space, equipment and
boundaries/expectations for children in situations. the teacher helps and observes the children and
makes the activity fun eg. octopus or a game of catch the flag.
what is the difference between goals checks and skill criteria - Answer-a global check is used to observe
a students overall movement pattern and is found in table form. the Childs movement will either look
right or wrong. from global checks will be able to determine whether children need more feedback, they
are good role models, children require more specific intervention and observation. if not satisfied move
