Learning to Roll, or Rolling to Learn? A Study Comparing Two Methods of Introducing Kayaking to Beginners.
Day, Lynton J.; Elwin, John E.
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v10 n4 p9-12 Win 1993
Two methods of teaching beginning kayaking were compared using matched groups of Australian college students. One approach teaches rolling in the event of a capsize as the first skill acquired, whereas the other approach begins with basic skills and strokes. Teaching rolling first was found to enhance subsequent skill acquisition and learner self-confidence. (LP)
