How+to+drive+a+Field+Hockey+Ball

Teaching my mom how to drive a field hockey ball: 1. To what learning styles does the lesson you were trying to teach seem to appeal (for instance, shooting baskets might appeal most to Kinesthetic and Interpersonal intelligences)?It seemed to use the spatial style by using visual examples to instruct what movements to follow. The lesson also used Bodily- Kinesthetic style, by going through the movements as they were explained they were more easily picked up.2. What disciplines did you draw on to teach the person your lesson (for example, learning to shoot baskets might draw on physics and kinesiology)?By getting used to the different ways to angle her body and the correct amount of power to use physics was used as well as math and geometry.3. In terms of multiple intelligences, what were the strengths and struggles of the person you were trying to teach? How did this help or hinder your efforts? (for example, did they have an easier time when you described in words? demonstrated visually?) The information can across better when it was walked through step by step rather than trying to explain it with words. I believe this was because the information was on a type of action so it was the easiest to act out the steps.4. What evidence did you have that the person had learned the lesson? In what discipline would that evidence "count", and why? (for example, could the person explain/perform/repeat/individualize? would a scientist/english teacher agree that s/he had learned?) By the end of the instruction my mom was able to hit the ball with enough force and in the correct form to qualify as a “drive” type of hit. The evidence would count under performance because she could correctly carry out the task that was assigned. The evidence could also be qualified under repeat because it was an action demonstrated, then repeated until correct.5. What forms of communication did you and/or your person use in the process (for example, did you use diagrams? demonstrations? step-by-step directions?)? The method I used to teach how to drive a field hockey ball was demonstration and step by step instructions.
