    The protocol has been registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on August 27, 2025, under identifier ChiCTR2500108295

  • The influence of linear and nonlinear pedagogies on movement exploration of a weightlifting skill

    Open AccessRiki Lindsay, Riki S Lindsay et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2025

    The influence of linear and nonlinear pedagogies on movement exploration of a weightlifting skillTraditional linear pedagogy (LP) is frequently criticised for being overly restrictive and limiting the development of individualised movement solutions. This has led to the recommendation of less restrained approaches, such as nonlinear pedagogy, to foster broad, self-organised movement exploration. However, limited research has investigated the natu…

  • The impact of task simplification in skill acquisition for young children from a simplexity approach

    Open AccessJia Yi Chow, Wan Ting Loh et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2025References: 1

    Informational constraints play an important role in guiding skill acquisition for learners. From an Ecological Dynamics perspective, skill acquisition is seen as an interplay of the key interactions between learners and environment to support the emergence of different movement possibilities in a skill acquisition context. However, simple information constraints can support the development of complex movements. Simplexity allows for functional co…

  • Advice from “pracademics” of how to apply ecological dynamics theory to practice design

    Open AccessJia Yi Chow, Chris Button et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2023

    There has been an increase interest in knowing and enacting pedagogical approaches such as the Constraints-led Approach (CLA) and Nonlinear Pedagogy (NLP) which are underpinned by Ecological Dynamics in recent years among practitioners. While there seems to be a perceived uptake of such pedagogical approaches that encourages exploratory learning and the development of individualised movement solutions, there are still concerns on how these pedago…

  • Effects of a blended classroom-based intervention on aerobic fitness, motor skills, inhibition, and daytime sleepiness among Hong Kong children

    Open AccessMinghui Li, Ming Hui Li et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    In response to the all-round development of primary school children, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a blended intervention program on children's health-related outcomes of aerobic fitness, motor skills, inhibition and daytime sleepiness in classroom settings. Three experimental conditions include: (1) the “Stand + Move” group combining sit-stand desks and physical activity (PA) recess, (2) “Move” group with PA recess only, and …

  • Nonlinear Pedagogy and its implications for practice in the Singapore PE context

    Jia Yi Chow, John Komar et al.ARTICLEPhysical Education and Sport…2021

    Background Nonlinear Pedagogy, underpinned by concepts in ecological dynamics, is a pedagogical framework that advocates an exploratory approach to acquisition of movement skills with an emphasis on individualised movement solutions. Its key principles have been successfully implemented in sports teaching and coaching and are currently being applied to learning designs in PE programmes.Purposes The purposes of the paper are to provide an overview…

  • Perceptual-motor skill transfer

    Open AccessJohn Komar, Chloe Yee Yuan Ong et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2021

    This paper aims to investigate perceptual-motor skill transfer, both through the specific as well as the general aspect of skill transfer. Specifically, we examined differences in skill transfer that occurred between participants who are skilled in practicing a perceptual motor activity involving striking with an implement and participants who are skilled in their own sports but are novice to striking task (i.e., batting an immobile ball). Skill …

  • Teachers' Perceptions of Applying Contemporary Skill Acquisition Approaches in High School Physical Education

    Open AccessSarah‐Kate Millar, Jia Yi Chow et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2021References: 8

    Using contemporary skill acquisition approaches to skill learning appears to be a worthwhile pedagogical option for teachers and coaches in sports and Physical Education (PE). However, PE at the High School level in New Zealand has assessment components that are still underpinned by traditional and outdated skill learning theories. In response to this challenge, two motivated Heads of Department in PE undertook a department-wide professional deve…

  • Singapore teachers’ attitudes towards the use of information and communication technologies in physical education

    Open AccessNien Xiang Tou, Ying Hwa Kee et al.ARTICLEEuropean Physical Education Review2019Cited by: 1References: 1

    The purpose of the present study was to examine and compare Singaporean physical education teachers’ attitudes towards information and communication technologies in physical education across different demographic groups that included gender, age, teaching experience, and school level. A total of 422 Singaporean full-time physical education teachers (mean age = 38.47 years, standard deviation = 8.31) completed the Physical Education Teachers’ Subj…

  • Possibilities and implications of using a motion-tracking system in physical education

    Open AccessJia Yi Chow, Clara Wee Keat Tan et al.ARTICLEEuropean Physical Education Review2014

    Advances in technology have created new opportunities for enhanced delivery of teaching to improve the acquisition of game skills in physical education (PE). The availability of a motion-tracking system (i.e. the A-Eye), which determines positional information of students in a practice context, might offer a suitable technology to support pedagogical approaches in the teaching of movement skills in game situations. This paper explores the possibi…

  • Complex and nonlinear pedagogy and the implications for physical education

    Jia Yi Chow, Matthew AtencioARTICLESport Education and Society2012Cited by: 3References: 10

    There is increasing support to describe and examine the teaching of game skills in physical education from a complex and nonlinear perspective. The emergence of game behaviours as a consequence of the dynamic interactions of the learner, the game environment and the task constraints within the game context highlights the nonlinear and complex nature of how learning of game skills can occur. While there is increasing recognition that teaching and …
