Nonlinear Pedagogy in Skill Acquisition

This is the first book to explain nonlinear pedagogy, an important new approach to skill acquisition, introducing key theory and best practice for students, teachers and coaches. The first section offers an overview of processes of skill acquisition and learning of movement skills. The book then defines nonlinear pedagogy, examining the optimal use of instruction, feedback and practice design, and discusses methods for creating challenging and supportive individualised learning environments. This is an essential companion for any degree level course in skill acquisition, motor learning, sport pedagogy, sports coaching practice, or pedagogy or curriculum design in physical education.
