A Theoretical Proposition on the Instruction in Decision Making in Ball Games

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to make a proposition on the instruction in decision making in ball games from the theoretical standpoint. To put it concretely, the outline of contents and methods of the process-oriented instruction in it was given in this study.
Firstly, a conceptual linear model of decision makig in ball games, which is consisted of four stagesselective attention to outer game situation (which means the external environment subsisting objectively), recognition of game situation (which consists of objective and subjective environmental elements), anticipation of game situation, decision on play-was presented, and the main points of instruction were discussed in each stage of the model.
Secondly, the subjects of the method on field/ court, the method in room, and selecting game situations were discussed about the methodology of instruction.
Resting on the basis of the proposition in this study, more improved practice and many corroborative studies on decision making in ball games should be proceeded in future.
