The Study on Organization of Teaching-Behaviors in the Physical Education Lessons (II) : Some basic concepts for the study on situational judgment in teaching

Abstract

The purposes of this paper are to discuss the characteristic functions of teaching and to construct the model which manifest the structure of teaching behaviors. The term of situational judgement in teaching has been little used in our country, but it seems to be serious for microteaching. Because the microteaching instructor has a thorough knowledge of the causes why his student selects that action. From the three points of view that contain planning, imaginations and open skill regarded as teaching skill, this paper can be regarded as an attempt to present some theoretical frameworks for the study on teacher training program. (1) Situational judgement in teaching was considered synonymous with decision-making in teaching, and defined as "to make a decision what to act in teaching". (2) The process of situational judgement in teaching was considered from the information processing approach. A conceptual feed-back model of the process, which contains selective attention to teaching/learning environment, recognition of teaching/learning situation, anticipation of teaching/learning situation and decision of action in cooperation with imagination, was presented, (see Fig. 4)
