The Command Style of teaching occurs when a Group Fitness Instructor (GFI) makes all decisions regarding the exercise class and serves as a model for participants to imitate. Advantages of this style include an immediate participant response, time-efficiency, and increased safety. What effect is created by this teaching style?
  1. A nurturing environment
  2. An atmosphere of inclusion
  3. Uniformity among all participants
  4. Increased creativity among all participants
Explanation
Answer: C - The primary effect of a Command Style of teaching is uniformity among all participants. Because the instructor retains “command and control” function, there is little opportunity for experimentation or individualization of learning. In contrast to the Command Style, the Practice Style of teaching has the effect of making participants feeling nurtured and the Inclusion Style of teaching has the effect of making all participants feel included.
