HIGHER STILL PHYSICAL
EDUCATION
INTERNAL ASSESSMENT
Activity: Badminton
Area of Analysis: Skills and Technique
I think that my weakness is:
My overhead clear.
Now give a brief statement explaining why this aspect
is important to your whole performance.

Frequently used stroke.

Weak part of my game.

Limited effectiveness as a majority fly high to the mid-court.

Therefore gives opponent a strong attacking option.

Limits options in a game.
Outcome 1
P.C (a) Describe the methods you used to
gather both your initial and more focused data.
Initial Data
 General observation
schedule
 Game analysis (20-30 mins)
 Fully explain how it was
carried out eg.list of strokes,
tick if effective or
ineffective, peer observes
your performance, opponent
of similar ability.
Focused Data
Movement analysis
 Fully explain how it was
carried out eg. Split into
Preparation, Action &
Recovery, subroutines, key
for recording.
Scatter-diagram
 Fully explain eg. Each OHC
was recorded with an ‘X’ on
the court (where it would
have landed), within
competitive game.
P.C (a) Explain why the methods you used for
gathering data were appropriate and valid.

Data gathered in a game situation.

Data is straightforward to interpret.

Instant record of results.

Permanent record so you can relate back to for monitoring purposes.

Focused data was relevant to the major weakness highlighted in my whole
game.

Technique was analysed as well as shot outcome.

Peer analysis for an unbiased opinion.

Weaknesses identified helped plan a relevant training programme.
P.C (b) & (c) Describe, in detail, the information
about your performance that you were able to
obtain from the data.

Firstly analyse your initial data – back up with
statistics. Remember to also highlight your strengths.

Then analyse all your focused data. Eg. Preparation,
action, recovery and outcome.

Also include your own thoughts (fluency, timing etc).
P.C (c) & (d) Explain clearly what you now
regard as your development needs.

Improvement is required in my OHC.

More distance is required

Subroutines in the preparation and action phases
require improvement (be specific).

Shot placement also requires improvement to put
more pressure on my opponent.
Outcome 2
Key Concepts and features
Key Concept 1:
Skill/technique improvement through movement
analysis.
Key Feature:
In relation to performance, the purposes of
collecting relevant and detailed information.
P.C (a) Explain how you used this information to
help you plan an appropriate Training Program.

It provides specific technique information.

Enables you to find out specific aspects of your technique that require
improvement.

This form of analysis is useful when studying ‘complex’ skills as it can be
split into preparation, action and recovery.

Training programme is therefore planned to improve the weaknesses that
were identified within the observation schedule.

I took into account my specific needs.
These were:

Moving behind shuttle. Body turns side onto the net.
e.g. Weight shifts onto back foot. Weight transferred forward at the point of
contact. Impact is made with a straight arm.
Key Concepts and Features
Key Concept 2:
The development of skill and the refinement of
technique.
Key Feature:
Principles of effective practice.
P.C (a) Explain how you used this information to
help you plan an appropriate Training Program.

Clear objectives - consideration of current strengths
and weaknesses. Each session had a focus, relevant to
weaknesses identified.

Progression - practices are meaningful to your current
level. Moved from ‘closed’, simple practices to more
‘open’, complex ones. When you are ready, progress
to more demanding practices. Use examples.

Work/rest ratio – varies according to experience, your
level, complexity of skill and physical demands. Give
examples of some of the work/rest ratios you used.
Longer work periods as you improve.
P.C (b) Describe and justify the methods/forms of
training you used in your training program.

Explain the reasons why you would use the various methods.

Gradual progression - because it is a complex skill. I can move on
when I feel I am ready.

Shadowing - help establish the pattern of movements under no
pressure.

Drills - can be adapted to suit level and focus.

Repetition - to groove the technique so it becomes ‘automatic’.

Conditioned Games - makes practice more ‘open’ and ‘game-like’.
Emphasise through a game what you have been working on.
P.C (c) Outline the programme of work you
designed to develop the selected aspect of
performance.
Number the practices in the order you would progress through them.
For each practice:


Relate the various methods of training to improving YOUR weaknesses in
the OHC that were identified earlier on.
link in work/rest ratio.
For example:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Shadowing
feed from side
feed from server
same as above but move from base (footwork)
hit targets for length – try this ½ court then full court to work on shot
placement
set (continuous) rally
conditioned game
pressure training.
Outcome 3
Training Diary
Session

Brief reflections/evaluations on or about training
P.C (b) Describe how you monitored the effect that
training programme was having on your weakness.

Retesting at various times during the training programme.
Retest under the same conditions as before. Compare results.
All observation schedules.

By reviewing my training log. Was the session too demanding
or not demanding enough?

Internal feedback – fully explain this.
P.C (c) Describe how and explain why some parts of
the programme were adapted as the programme
progressed.

In the early stages I progressed well so I left the programme
unchanged. Using gradual progression I was clearly moving
on at the right stage.

Pick a weakness that you think requires additional work near
the end of the training programme (take weakness from
observation schedule and training diary), then go back and
practice it again. E.g. Movement behind the shuttle. Fully
explain why you did this.
Outcome 4
P.C (a) Discuss the effect that your Training
Programme has had on your weakness. i.e. comparing
data before/after.

Fully describe the results of the final retests of all
observation schedules.

To what extent have you improved? Back up with
statistics/evidence.
P.C (b) Discuss the effect that improvement in your
weakness has had on your overall performance. i.e. what
you are able to do now that you were unable to do before.

Now a more effective player overall.

More confident to attempt an OHC in a game situation.

Now possible to put my opponent under pressure by hitting the
shuttle to the back of the court.

More options available in a game.

More time to return to the base position – now able to think of
next stroke to use.
P.C (c) Discuss your future development
needs in the same area of performance.

Still a lack of consistency when performing the OHC.

Occasionally hit high to the mid-court so future
practice of this stroke is important.

Will continue to retest and record progress on this
stroke as well as others in order to further develop my
overall performance.
Helpful hints!

Plan to do an outcome per day. This leaves period 2 on
Thursday to tie up loose ends.

Save time by calculating percentages in your general
observation schedules at home!

Write in the first person – “I improved….”

Revise each outcome the night before so its fresh in your
mind.

At least half marks in EVERY question is required to pass!

Remember to bring your observation schedule – they have to
be submitted with your assessment so make sure they are
neat!
