Understanding Robert Miller's Approach in Skill Development
Robert Miller's approach, originating in military science, emphasizes writing objectives for the psychomotor domain with a focus on skill analysis and physical activities. The method involves three key elements: Indication (Stimulus), Activation (responses), and Feedback. It aims to develop skills and improve performance in activities. However, the approach has limitations as it solely targets psychomotor objectives and places more emphasis on action verbs than the mental processes involved. It is best suited for training objectives rather than teaching objectives.

Reflex Movement is an activity through which relevant indication appear. Physical abilities the control objectives is to be activated. Perceptual abilities the activation to be perceive. Skilled Movement the activation is to be made. Non-discussive communication the indication responses should be adequate feedback.
