Identifying and analysing motor skills answers in the corporal expression and dance through OSMOS

The following paper outlines a new approach to the study of motor skills through the Observational System of Motor Skills –OSMOS- [1, 2]. The instrument is mixed and combines a field format with a category system for analysing natural contexts where body movement is relevant, as motor and sport practices, dance and psicomotricist situations. In the learning process of creative dance or similar disciplines, the application of the pedagogical model will be fundamental for the attainment of the proposed aims. During the practice, the instructions are usually open to generate a divergent production of motor skills answers. The paper also outlines a new approach to the analysis of time-based event records — in this case, for motor skills — known as T-pattern detection. Results suggest that it is possible to identify clearly all kind of motor skills based on the observational criteria and a further analysis of temporal behavioral patterns
