Strategic Blindness, Situational Awareness, Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba and Physical Skills Training, follows on from the podcast I did yesterday, entitled ‘Complicating the Uncomplicated’ and today I want to follow on from that with this podcast entitled ‘Strategic Blindness, Situational Awareness, Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba and Physical Skills Training’, because it adds more weight to the argument that teaching physical skills in a complex manner only adds to the cognitive workload of the learner, increases the margin for error to occur which in turn increases the risk of injury, serious assault and even death.
In this episode, I’m also going to draw on the findings in the recent court appeal case of Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba, as there are some interesting insights, in this case, that highlight the failings of a system as opposed to the failings of the individual.
