An investigation on Singapore PE Teachers’ knowledge and practice about teaching and learning from an Ecological Dynamics perspective
International audience
The influence of linear and nonlinear pedagogies on movement exploration of a weightlifting skill
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…
Associations between Parent Attitudes and on- and off-Screen Behaviours of Preschool Children in Singapore
The research aims were to examine the relationships between parent and child digital media use and to describe the characteristics of the top and bottom quartiles of child digital media use in meeting the 24 h integrated guidelines for sleep, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour. Parent-reported on- and off-screen habits and quality of life of children were collected from 1481 parents of preschool children aged 2-5 years in 2019. Significan…
Nonlinear Pedagogy and its implications for practice in the Singapore PE context
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
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 …
