How to answer the questions

Important info to note down

 The following info will be bullet points that are essential for you to answer the questions correctly. However, the bullet points are only a guide and not enough for you to get marks. You must expand on your answers with clear and concise info! 

“Fail to prepare, prepare to Fail!”

Question 1

 Methods used – video, scattergrams, observations schedules for mechanical and movement analysis.

 Describe in detail how they were used, designed, why they were used, example!

Question 2

 A) Strengths and weaknesses Always refer to the methods you used eg – The obs schedule showed me….

Give me specific examples about the s/w eg PAR/subroutines within the shots.

Whole performance Isolated performance B) Development needs – what needs improved and why? Examples…benefits…

Question 3

    The first key concept I have studied is The concept of skill and skilled performance.

And is from the area of Skills and Techniques The related key feature I have studied is An understanding of how a skilled performance can be used to enhance and develop performance, for example:  ♦ effective, consistent and economic movement   ♦ ability to vary and adapt by using a range of skills and techniques ♦ ability to select the correct options to cope with various performance demands.

Question 4

       The second key concept I have studied is

concentration and feedback The development of skill and the refinement of technique in terms of: Stages of Learning, Methods of practice, Principles of effective practice and motivation,

The analysis area of

Skills and Techniques

The related key feature I have studied is

Key feature

Skills and/or techniques are learned in different stages. This should include understanding about the following

stages

:  ♦ preparation/cognitive   ♦ practice/associative ♦ automatic/autonomous or other terminology used to describe these stages. At each stage of learning, when developing skills or techniques, select the most relevant

methods of practice

from the following:  ♦ solo/shadow/partner/group      ♦ opposed/unopposed ♦ gradual build up/whole part whole ♦ drills/repetition practices ♦ massed/distributed ♦ conditioned games/small sided games/coached games. The method of practice selected should show an understanding of the following

principles of effective practice

:  ♦ setting clear objectives      ♦ consideration of strengths and weaknesses ♦ awareness of model performer ♦ achievable progressive stages ♦ effect of boredom and fatigue ♦ intensity of practice

Question 5

 You must demonstrate how you used your key concept info to enable you to design relevant development prog which aims to improve the weaknesses identified in Q2b.

 Should give relevant examples to support answer.

 Eg – For example, by studying, I have learned that…

Question 6

 Programme of work description  6 sessions   Clear detailed description about prog/design Full details about programme – sessions, principles of effective practice, methods of practice, stages of learning, methods of learning.

 Specific examples.

Question 7

 Adaptations/changes.

 Why were there adaptations/changes eg practice too easy/too difficult, no success, negative mindset…  What were the changes…

Question 8

 What methods were used to monitor progress:  Same methods as at start – video, obs schedule, feedback, scatter graph.

 Why was this important…targets etc/progression.

Question 9

 The effectiveness of your programme:  Give a detailed description of your programme of work  Describe fully what is better about your performance  Include details about the specific improvements and what changed- eg PAR subroutines, stage of learning.

Question 10

 Future development needs:  Give a clear description/explanation of what you would do in the future.

 Consider further developing/refining or maintaining your performance or may need to improve something new eg serve  Should give full and clear details of your next steps/intent!

Additional info

 This will hopefully be placed on blig  Use info/guidance in NAB  Anything you think might be relevant – put it down in a concise manner.

 Be clear on what you are trying to say!

 Don’t waffle!!!!!!!!!!!!!
