PHE hall, I was teaching my teammates my 7X8 dance with a typical workout. I had stretching and march.
Everyone in my group had 15 minutes to explain their dance to the group. Everyone in my group managed to present their dance and their exercise to my group and everyone also managed to dance everyone’s dance.
The problem was that while dancing the other people’s dance my group including me made mistakes so we had to do the move again. That was pretty difficult to repeat the move, the solution for that would be that the people explaining the dance would do a more basic version of the dance and then when everyone had mastered the more basic version we would go to the more difficult version.
The next time I will make a dance and explain it to a group of people I will make a more basic version and explain the more difficult version.
The three Korthagen skills I would improve for next time would be:
Decision making
Non-verbal communication
Problem-solving
I would work decision making because when I was making my dance I just made it simple. Because of that decision, I felt a bit embarrassed showing my group my dance because mine was so simple and boring I think I should have thought more about my dance and make it a bit more fun for my group to dance. Next time I would have for my dance no eight beats the same type of dance like march and bounce etc. I was inspired by one of my team members she used different types of dances in every eighth beat.
I would want to improve non-verbal communication because while I was dancing I found it hard to communicate exactly how I wanted my dance to go. To improve that I should find another way to communicate, maybe to show them every step in detail.
I would also like to improve my problem-solving because when I made a mistake I didn’t know what to do so next time I think I should communicate with my group and make a plan when you make a mistake because then I knew what to do when you made mistakes and when I do something, not by plan you didn’t have to solve the problem at the same time the problem occurs because it’s hard.
When I was explaining my dance to my group I used verbal communication which was a bit hard that’s the reason why next time I would want to use more non-verbal communication. When making my dance and when my group what move the group should end with me as an individual and my group had to use decision making. When my group members were explaining their dance I had to use listening skills. I had to be focused on what they were saying not focused on something else.
50% of my group explained their dance in too much detail in my opinion and the first time they were explaining the dance they wanted to have everything perfect I think next time they should have a little more patience with their group because we were just learning the dance for the first time so obviously we will make mistakes. And when we asked questions about the dance they should have shown us the part we were asking about so they should work on their listening skills.
A person in my group kind of forgot his dance so he made mistakes while showing us the dance so the rest of the group got confused. I think he should’ve used a bit more problem-solving and decision-making because he should have solved the problem, I would’ve solved the problem by deciding on what dance I thought was right so by using decision-making.
My goals went excellently, and in my belief, I think that I accomplished my goal. I feel like I find it easier to do the exercise in the dance and I can be on beat with my group. I tried to follow my plan as much as I could I couldn’t do exactly what I wrote in my goal because I had other things to do.
