In gymnastics and dance teaching, which side does the teacher do first in the mirror demonstration?

The teacher moves to the left first. Normally, the movements are to the right first, but the teacher moves in a mirror, so it is to the left.

Mirror demonstration means that the movements you make are the same as the students' movements in front of the mirror. If the teaching movement is to the left, you have to do the opposite side, but this method is relative to coordination and imitation. For students who are not strong, there are some frontal movements. For ordinary movements, just face the mirror with your back to the student. Students can see your frontal movements through the mirror

Extended information:

When using mirror demonstrations in teaching, the author believes that the following points should be paid attention to:

1. The position of the physical education teacher should be moderate. The teacher should determine the position based on the characteristics of the movements and the highlighted content of the demonstration points. Reasonable demonstration orientation so that every student can see clearly.

2. The teacher’s movements must be accurate, because the mirror demonstration is the opposite for the demonstrator, and movements in the opposite direction are the most prone to errors, because the concept of its movements is in the human brain. A very skilled conditioned reflex has not been formed, so this requires physical education teachers to strengthen the practice of mirror demonstration before class.

3. The action and command rhythm of the mirror demonstration must be coordinated and accurate. Because the movements are reversed when doing mirror demonstrations, it is easy for the teacher's instructions to be inconsistent with his own movements, which can easily give students a wrong concept and wrong movements. ?

4. The structure of the movements during mirror demonstration, and the changes in the amplitude and direction of the movements.
