Instructional Strategy: Didactic Media Presentation to Optimize Student Learning

Abstract

Context: Subject matter is presented to athletic training students in the classroom using various modes of media. The specific type of mode and when to use it should be considered to maximize learning effectiveness. Other factors to consider in this process include a student's knowledge base and the complexity of material.Objective: To introduce instructional strategies within the didactic component of an undergraduate or graduate athletic training program that effectively address split-attention, redundancy, and modality effects, which in turn will minimize extraneous cognitive load and optimize working memory storage capacity.Background: With technological advances in education, a vast assortment of content in athletic training programs, and inconsistency in student learning styles, a variety of modes through which to present course material should be implemented for optimal learning. Traditional instructional strategies do not always respect the limited capacity of working memory and present information using media in a way that negatively affects learning.Description: An explanation is given in the use of various media sources to present information within the classroom and to examine the impact they have on extraneous cognitive load and, ultimately, learning. Specific instructional strategies will be introduced that target the classroom presentation of information with the goal of minimizing split-attention and redundancy effects and optimizing the modality effect. Clinical Advantage(s):To optimize athletic training student learning effectiveness through considerations in the various modes of media presentation with course subject matter within the classroom. Conclusion(s):The presentation of material in athletic training education using a multimodal approach is essential to student interest and learning. Space occupied in working memory can be minimized when classroom presentation of material takes into consideration the split-attention and redundancy effects. Strategies consistent with the modality effect help expand the capacity to withhold information in working memory.

Sports Training Strategy and Interactive Control Method Based on Digital Twins and Wireless Sensor Networks

“…The communication software and hardware are responsible for communication and data transmission with other sensor points. With the help of WSNs, human beings can realize a more convenient ability to understand and know the objective world [ 16 , 17 ]. WSNs network nodes have low-cost, self-distribution power supply and do not need the support of communication infrastructure.…”

An Analytical Study of Early Childhood Education Facilities in Public and Private Sector Schools in Azad Jammu & Kashmir

“…The motivation for crèche is that come on and let us alive for children. Schilling (2011) wrote in his article that in 1906, Maria Montessori opened her first school in a residential area in the poorest part of Rome, or called the "Children's Home." These children belong to poor families, both parents must work and no one takes care of the children.…”

Measuring the Effectiveness of Faculty Feedback on the use of an active integrated instructional pedagogy for the embryology course

“… 1 , 2 Instructors often deliver complex material in a format that does not translate to the desired active engagement recommended by educators, theorists, and psychologists. 3 Learning is no longer followed by an apprenticeship model where the learners will not get adequate knowledge by just listening to teachers, memorizing pre-packaged information, and rote memorizing. The learners must reflect on their experiences and must apply their experiences to their real practices.…”
