Education Portal for Students in India

In my opinion the 3 most important aspects for Physical Education lesson are:

Safety.Fun/Enjoyment.Learn a skill (E.g., Physical, Mental, Moral or Social).

There are a variety of teaching methods to achieving those goals during a PE lesson. The one that I have found most useful is the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU; Bunker and Thorpe, 1982). Prior to attending, my PGCE in 2017 I was semi-aware of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU approach of teaching physical activities, however whilst at University and conducting my Netball Level 2 and teaching in this way I gained a greater appreciation of the method.

1. By doing it in practice I have witnessed how much more the children have progressed and are enjoying the lessons more.
2. Drills are defined as discrete practices that children learn a skill without the concept of any game awareness.
3. Whereas a game-based approach to learning is where children learn a skill though a game.

They start to develop technical, tactical skills and can understand why they are doing an activity. See table below for an example of difference. In both situations children learn the Chest Pass. However, I want you to consider which one sounds more likely to relate to a real game of Hi5 Netball and be more fun for the children? Hi5 Netball Chest Pass Example Traditional (Drill) Game Based 1.

1. Warm-Up (Stuck in mud but children have no ball and freeze in star) 2.
2. Passing against a wall.3.
3. Passing with a partner.4.
4. Add in a defender (2 vs 1) 5.
5. Match (5 vs 5) 6.
6. Cool Down Game Based 1.
7. Warm- Up (Stuck in Mud.
8. Children freeze with hands in correct chess pass position.
9. There are other variations depending on equipment, age and etc).2.

Keep Ball Match (3 vs 3) 3. Now teams break off and you do same activity, but children implement teaching points without defenders.4. Now do Keep Ball game again (4vs 2, 3vs 3).5. Match (5 vs 5) Can have bonus chest pass points).6. Cool Down I do understand that both approaches (Traditional and Game Based) do enable for the aspects mentioned above to be achieved.

1. Indeed, at times teachers will use a drill-based activity to help support the learning, manage behaviour and ensure children understand the key teaching points.
2. However, children can become bored quicker and not understand how this skill is applicable in game environment.
3. Therefore, I agree with Bunker and Thorpe (1982) that teaching activities by playing games is better for skill development.

Moreover, Butler et al. (2008) stated that physical education taught through TGFU must adhere to the following requirements: 1. Teach activities through games 2. Teach the game in its simplest format- then increase complexity.3. All participants are involved and have importance.4.

• Participants must know subject matter.5.
• Games must match participants’ skill and challenge.
• Looking at the concepts above I feel that TGfU is applicable across all key stages including EYFS as it engages the children and gets them doing an activity that they enjoy doing.
• However, practitioners need to understand what constitutes a game for their pupils.

A simple-modified activity of throwing and catching in small groups could be deemed a game for KS1 children but not for KS2. In this situation a basic throwing and catching ‘game’ has become a mundane drill. Instead doing a keep-ball session between two teams may be more beneficial to teach the skills of throwing.

To effectively teach pupils the teacher needs to teach a progression of skills needed to play the game (i.e. catching, kicking, striking), while at the same time introducing a progression of tactical awareness to play effectively (i.e. anticipate where the ball will travel, aim for the spaces). Without the tactical awareness part children are unable to develop their skills further.

For Example: Two children can kick a ball back forth between themselves easily, however once a defender (3rd Person) is introduced the activity breaks down. This is where the teacher would intervene and ask the children about ways, they could keep possession of the ball.

As Kirk & MacPhail, (2002) highlights for progression of a technique to occur within a game, students need a tactical awareness that comes from an emerging understanding of playing a game. If a game is to be a learnt experience, then teachers and sport coaches need to ensure children understand the ‘why’ behind a game and the activity they are doing.

This will ensure that a skill is developed and understood. I have witnessed poor practice from sport practitioners doing just playing ‘game’ and not explaining the purpose behind it. In summary, when teaching physical education, the sessions should be safe, fun and allow the children to learn and progress.

• It should be game centred with children understanding the ‘WHY’ behind an activity.
• Simply reminding the children of the Learning Objective and having plenaries will help them understand the reasons behind a game.
• References Bunker, D., & Thorpe, R. (1982).
• A model for the teaching of games in the secondary school.

Why is drill in physical education?

Through drill and practice, learners are trained repeatedly to achieve automated performance in the lower-level subskills before they proceed to the higher level of complex skill. A good example is the training method employed by the physical fitness trainer or the music teacher.

What is the meaning of drill in sports?

DRILLS WITH AND WITHOUT EQUIPMENT FOR SERIOUS ATHLETES – A STEP BACKWARD Brent S. Rushall, February, 1997. Reply to question asking what are the best drills to be used to promote swimming excellence. One of the commonest activities in training programs in some sports (e.g., swimming, rowing, kayaking) is the performance of drills, activities that are purported to train in isolation aspects of a total movement pattern. Drills are repetitive training activities which do or do not use equipment.

They are intended to stimulate a part of a complex movement (e.g., an upper arm movement) or an elemental segment of a movement chain (e.g., the transition from a take-off to a jump). They train activity parts out-of-context. When equipment such as paddles in swimming, parachutes in running, and “trailing buckets” in rowing are used, the activity elements are distorted because of the requirement to accommodate the non-competition-related equipment.

Drills are inappropriate training content for serious or highly-trained athletes. The only exception to “no drills” is when they are part of learning progressions prior to the attainment and practice of some terminal (final) skill. Each drill that is practiced should be considered to be a discrete activity.

Training resources that could be applied to developing higher levels of a competitive skill are used (squandered) on irrelevant drill activities. Thus, the level of accomplishment that is possible in a competitive skill will be reduced by “drilling.” It is assumed by many coaches that “drill practice will improve an element imbedded in a total competitive skill.” Unfortunately, the manner in which the body learns movements does not accommodate that assumption. For example, learning how to move legs in one activity (e.g., kicking while holding one arm in the air in backstroke) does not produce high-level kicking skill in the competitive activity when the artificial posture and dynamic movement requirements are vastly different. The body constantly attempts to develop specific adaptations/learnings to particular stimuli as a basic requirement for survival. In fatigue, the body seeks to maintain a level of functional output by recruiting extra resources. If there are movement patterns developed through drills which are either cognitively or conditionally associated with a competitive skill, the recruitment will first gravitate to those strengthened options. When fatigue starts, an athlete will start to perform with many characteristics of doing a drill rather than maintaining a high degree of competition-appropriate movement function and performance. When extra resources are recruited in fatigue, the recruitment is not done gradually or by degree. It occurs suddenly and relatively completely so that obvious changes in performance occur. Since drills do not train total function, when a “drill movement” is recruited into a contest it should be expected that performance will deteriorate rapidly, dramatically, and obviously.

Drills originally were only meant to be preliminary activities to be used as a step in a progression on the way through to learning a “terminal behavior.” But now they have become training items which means that athletes’ progress is halted at a less than terminal stage of skill development and competing patterns of movement are established.

1. When athletes develop faults, they need to be re-taught the element in question and the steps that follow that element.
2. It is teaching the element in context of the preceding movements that is important.
3. Instructing the element in isolation (“correction drills”) is poor pedagogy.
4. Any device (“training aid”) that is used in a drill alters neuromuscular patterning to form a unique movement skill.

A device artificially trains competing movement patterns and introduces inefficiencies. Many devices have no acceptable data to support their claims of benefit. Most respectable research shows them to have no value or negative benefits. Since the form to be used in a competition is what should be trained, why would one adulterate that form through distortional (device) training? Except at very low levels of performance (e.g., when learning a skill) movement elements learned in one activity do not transfer with any benefit to another.

• The body does not have the capacity to determine the intention of some training activity.
• For example, an activity which requires an athlete’s posture to be different to that which will be employed in a competition, although it is “meant” to be beneficial, does not benefit the competition performance.

The body learns the incorrect posture for the trained activity and depending upon the strength of specific/relevant training will sustain correct or incorrect postures in a contest. Since most high level performers are discriminated from each other on the basis of skill efficiency, one of the most important factors for differentiating medalists from non-medalists, the level of performer skill should be maximized.

Drill practices and the use of training devices work contrarily to that aim. Many proponents of “drills” argue that the changes in technique they produce are only minor and are therefore, relatively inconsequential. That might be acceptable for individuals in the early stages of skill learning, but it is not acceptable for highly-trained individuals.

Any competing movement pattern or disruption to a highly-refined skill has detrimental consequences. This is why the following coaching lore exists: “If serious athletes change techniques they have to be prepared to perform worse for a period of time before they have a chance to improve.” The situation is even more critical for very experienced (senior) athletes when it may be of no value to attempt to alter a technique flaw, the impact of the existing flaw possibly being minimized through years of training.

There comes a time in every athlete’s development when skill errors have been performed for so long that attempts to change them would never be effective enough to elevate the performance further. This is particularly so in highly-repetitive cyclic activities such as running, swimming, and sculling. There is a movement instruction science, in this context it is called “sport pedagogy.” There are principles that are known to be beneficial and others which are known to be detrimental to performance development and change.

It is necessary that knowledge of these principles be a prerequisite for any individual partaking in a coaching activity. Ignorance or a lack of knowledge of those principles is unethical and cannot be overlooked in an expedient decision to hire or appoint a coach.

Swimming is perhaps the sport which advocates training with drills (what coach does not have his/her own special activities?) and the use of training devices (special bags are now marketed to carry all the paraphernalia onto the pool deck) more than any other sport. Since swimming is the one “world sport” in which its top performers are regressing rather than improving, it could be argued that this decline has somewhat matched the increased growth in drill training and the use training devices.

Most top swim teams in the USA do very little swimming but much finning, paddling, drills, and whatever. It is a mystery why the importance of training competitive movement patterns is so popularly disdained. One cannot beat the principle of specificity for training when getting ready to perform in a serious high-level competition.

• If the best performance is desired, then a lot of training had better give the body the opportunity to practice and improve in the activities it will be asked to perform in the competitive setting.
• Drills and training with artificial devices work against that purpose.
• Footnote There are no references listed to this description.

The knowledge has been around for at least 40 and more like 50 years. It has not changed since then. It is so well accepted in the psychological literature that no one experiments with it any more. There are likely to be no new discoveries. What is amazing is that so many coaches are ignorant of this information! It should be part of the core-knowledge of coaching education and is so basic that it should be known by any coach, particularly one who derives income from coaching as a professional capacity.

Questions and Answers – The physical activities performed repeatedly according to the command of the group leader in called drill. In the process of performing drills the rows and the lines shift forward and backward and move away from straight rows and files.

Right- Dress helps to bring them back to straight rows and lines. At the command of Right Dress, the right marker of the group should stand at attention at his place. Right marker means the person at the extreme right in the front row. Right Dress is used to bring them back to straight rows and lines. Disperse command is given when the group is at attention position.

The dismiss command comes into force once the drill is over for the day. This is also commanded by attention position. The Dismiss command comes into force once the drill is over for the day.

Why is it called drill?

History – David Drake of said drill is not defined by any particular production style, but “is about the entirety of the culture: the lingo, the dances, the mentality, and the music, much of which originated in ‘Dro City’, a gang-defined territory of city blocks in the neighborhood.” In street slang, “drill” means to fight or retaliate, and “can be used for anything from females getting dolled up to all out war in the streets.” Dro City rapper Pac Man, considered the stylistic originator of the genre, is credited as the first to apply the term to the local hip hop music.

Drake described the drill scene as a major vehicle of the early 2010s rise of Chicago hip hop, and described the scene as a movement that had incubated in a closed, interlocking system: on the streets and through social media in a network of clubs and parties and amongst high schools. Drill developed on the South Side of Chicago, in the midst of escalating violence and a homicide crisis.

Mark Guarino wrote for that the music grew during “a shift from historic feuding between monolithic crime organizations controlling thousands of members each to intrapersonal squabbling and retaliatory conflicts among smaller hybrid groups whose control extends just a few blocks.

• The toughened reality of living in these neighborhoods is what shaped Drill music.” In the drill scene, rap conflict and gang conflict overlap, and many of the young rappers come from backgrounds with experience of violence.
• ‘ s Sam Gould wrote that Chief Keef “represents both a scary strain of current hip hop culture and a seriously alienated group within American society.” was a platform for many drill rappers to release their music videos on, and ultimately significantly contributed to the genre’s popularity.

Chief Keef is considered the primary progenitor and popularizer of drill music, responsible for bringing it to the mainstream. In 2011 and 2012, he recorded multiple singles, including “Love Sosa”, “I Don ‘ t Like” and “Bang”, which became viral hits, and was subsequently offered a deal from,

• Around the same time,, another drill rapper, was given a record deal from,
• By late 2012, rappers from other scenes and hip hop stars like, and were collaborating with drill musicians.
• Anye West remixed “” for the 2012 compilation as “Don’t Like”, with features from West, Chief Keef,, and,
• West cited drill as an influence on his 2013 album, and Chief Keef and had vocals featured on the album.

Drill’s subject matter strongly contrasts with that of earlier Chicago rappers such as,,, and, Older Chicago rappers have been mixed in their reaction to drill’s popularity and violence. In a radio interview, rapper Lupe Fiasco said “Chief Keef scares me.

• Not him specifically, but just the culture that he represents,
• The murder rate in Chicago is skyrocketing, and you see who’s doing it and perpetrating it—they all look like Chief Keef.” After Chief Keef threatened Fiasco on Twitter, Fiasco said he was considering quitting the music scene.
• Rhymefest tweeted that drill is “the theme music to murder.” Chief Keef’s debut album, “”, released on in late 2012, was subsequently described as a “classic” album in the genre.

Despite the warm critique, “Finally Rich” only sold 50 000 units and became a flop record which resulted in record labels subsequently losing interest in drill, deeming it a “fad”. While drill music of Chicago fizzled out of mainstream popularity, a new scene was emerging in the UK and by the late-2010s was gaining mainstream popularity, spreading across Europe, influencing the creation of drill scenes around the continent.

music evolved its own distinct style of production compared to Chicago drill with UK drill group often credited for shifting the sound away from the Chicago influences it seemed to heavily draw inspiration from in its early days and foundation and for forming a more homegrown sound, with – a member of 67 – being named as the godfather of UK drill.

The mid-2010s saw the emergence of Chicago-influenced artists such as and, while the late 2010s saw the emergence of new prominent drill artists from Brooklyn such as,,, and, Later Brooklyn drill production is heavily influenced by UK drill (the latter of which brings production influences from and ) with artists such as Fivio Foreign, Sheff G, Smoove’L, Bizzy Banks, 22Gz, and Pop Smoke collaborating with UK drill producers such as, Yamaica Productions, Yoz Beats, Tommyprime and AXL Beats.

What is the first purpose of drill?

History of the Drill In modern times, drills are a common household and construction item. Gone are the days of hand drills, though they do sometimes serve a very useful purpose, and have largely been replaced by the cordless models. The original purpose of a drill was to make a hole in stone, metal, or wood.

• That use has not changed significantly over the years, but its use has expanded.
• There are a number of types of drills, such as the bore drill, which simply drills a hole.
• This type was developed in Egypt around 3000 B.C.
• The auger, still used today, was created and used in the Roman and Medieval ages.

However, I am going to focus more on the electric and power drills that we are familiar with.
