Movement Maps: Where Should I Move and How Should I Get There?
Mally, Kristi
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v16 n6 p38-40 Nov 2005
The Skill Theme approach underlies the purpose and design of the movement maps described in this article. This approach promotes fundamental movement skill competence. Learning experiences are designed to accommodate the developmental needs of individual students. Further, an emphasis is placed on providing high repetition and variety through "purposeful" practice opportunities. The result is the development of a movement foundation comprised of a diverse repertoire of movement skills. Movement maps are consistent with the Skill Theme Movement approach because they foster high repetition, practice, and variety. Maps can be designed to focus on either movement concepts or skill themes, or a combination of concepts and skills. The Movement Analysis Framework provides the content for designing movement maps. Integrating movement concepts with fundamental movement skills helps young students construct a movement foundation for continued movement success as they move through the developmental process.
