Back to Student-Driven Development
Back to Student-Driven Development
by Dr. Donald L. Green, 11 April 2022
Discussing Safe Effective Efficient (SEE) and Fun Effective Efficient and Learner-Centered (FEEL) with some RiderCoaches recently, I was reminded whenever we begin to banter about these terms, it is about the student ALWAYS. Anytime we invoke such acronyms, we should not be thinking of ourselves as RiderCoaches, we should be aligning our thoughts with the curricular underpinnings (S.A.M.) and how they relate to student development. An excellent way to describe student-driven development while engaged in a Rider Education Course is to approach the student at the top of a hierarchal pyramid. …

Getting to Flow (Again)
Getting to Flow (Again)
Like any skilled activity, RiderCoaches and Motorcyclists who intend to do something well will attempt to achieve a state of “flow” by focusing their attention on a point where concentration becomes almost a zen-like experience. A recent study emphasizes Moto GP riders by highlighting such a focus because their eyes blink less than an average person’s. The state of flow they achieve is so intense they can look longer without the disruption of having their eyes close because of the millisecond of trouble it can cause of a visual nature. Flow signals meet an intense concentration where everything else surrounding the moment is no longer a distraction. …

Student Brain Overload (Revisited)
Student Brain Overload (Revisited)
A common issue in coaching an introductory and novice rider course is the desire to over-help (over-coach) a student by providing too much information to a learning sequence or task; this is known as a Type I Coaching error (MSF, 2016). Typically, each exercise has one, maybe two, primary learning objectives for a student to focus on, especially during the early stages of learning. Coaches who do not fully appreciate the primary objectives and rationales of range and classroom activities may add different or more complex instructions, causing brain overload in the student. Recent questions in Tribe Talk© and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s © vRETS© workshops for coaches have fostered some thoughts on Brain Overload, also known as mental or Cognitive Overload (an MSF Rider Subtask) in the cognitive psychology field. …
