Popis: During the period of acquisition and first practice of movement skills, learning becomes more effective when various sensory channels are used. According to the Dual Coding Theory, students as learners code both visually and verbally incoming information into knowledge that can be stored and retrieved for subsequent use. The aim of the present study is the proposal of a new method for the teaching of fundamental motor skills that will be depended on a visual coding of movement information. Particularly, the morphological method for the analysis of dance is the proposed method according to which graphic visual symbols will be used to represent movement skills. It is expected that the use of the proposed teaching method will make teaching more effective, improving in this way the students’ motor skills. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
