This study is concerned with how to improve the instructors’ ability in physical education, focusing on the case of batting in baseball.
These points of observations are as follows;
1) the aim of the batting, 2) how to move and how to feel of the batting, and 3) the quality of movement. These researchers would like also to analyze and examine the contents of observations, and moreover to acquire the knowledge about the teaching of the batting. First of all, for this study, 4 college students who belong to a baseball club were chosen as the self-observers; and another 4 persons, 2 researchers and 2 college students who have played baseball for more than 15 years, were chosen as the other-observers. The subjects were playing for the batting training. And those trainings were observed eight times during four months on the baseball field.
These points of observations were 1) the aim of the batting, 2) how to move and how to feel of the batting, and 3) the quality of movement. The results were written on the descriptive sheets. Especially, “the quality of movement” was based on and “the eight categories” that were made and advocated by Meinel. Regarding the self-observation, the interview was carried out after the batting training according to the descriptive sheets. And the other-observations were carried out during the batting training.
After comparing and examining the contents of different observations by the self-observer and the other-observer, the present findings could attain the knowledge concerning the teaching of the batting as follows;
1) There were a few differences among “the aim of the batting”. So a teacher needs to ask and to clear the player’s “aim of the batting” before the training. And teachers and students need to deepen the mutual understanding of each other. 2) There were few differences among “how to move and how to feel of the batting”. However, a teacher needs to ask players “how to move and how to feel of the batting” before the training. And the teacher and students need to raise the level of sympathy concerning movement, that is, “how to move and how to feel of the batting” between players. 3) In terms of the quality of movement, there were few differences in “the harmony of movement”, and “the rhythm of movement”. There were a few differences among “the coupling of movement”. There were differences among “the anticipation of movement”. Those were difficult to observe previously “the anticipation of movement” by the other-observetion. Therefore, the teacher and players need to deepen the mutual understanding about the contents of the quality of movement beforehand. And the teacher needs to ask players for the student’s awareness of self-observation during or after the training.
