Skills and Techniques
Lesson Three
Today we will…

Stages of Skill Learning

Consider the importance of a model performer.

Investigate how we can use a model performer to
gather data on our performance.

Homework – Friday 29th November

Explain how we gathered specific data on our overhead clear.
There are three important stages in learning and
developing skills
STAGES OF LEARNING
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
Cognitive Stage
During the planning stage, you find out what
the skill involves – work out the subroutines.
Preparation
Action
Recovery
Even although some of the subroutines
involved in the skill maybe new, it does not
mean that you are at the beginner level in
badminton.
Beginner Level
Badminton
Player
After establishing the different subroutines you
make your first attempts at learning the skill
Errors are likely to be common during the planning stage. As a
result of this you will need lots of advice and encouragement
SQA Intermediate 2
2006 Question 5(a)
Choose an activity and a skill or technique.
5(a) Explain the benefits of considering a model/skilled
performance when learning or developing this
skill or technique.
(4)
Benefits of model performer?
Why ?
Model performers and the improving of performance
As you attempt to learn a new activity or improve your performance, model
performers can help you improve your knowledge and understanding of what it
means to perform effectively. The idea is that, by seeing someone else perform
to a high standard, you will get a clear picture of what it is you are striving to do.
It may be that a fellow pupil is able to play to a high standard providing you with
ideas about how you can improve your performance. Able performers may need
to watch a top level performer to get an idea of how to be a more effective
player.
Discuss with your shoulder partner the below topic…
Model performers and the performance of difficult skills
and techniques
Consider how you could use a model performer to develop your
understanding of a complex skill
Think of a situation where you have used a model performer to help
you learn a new skill or develop your understanding of a skill
Model performers and the performance of difficult skills and techniques
In badminton, some skills and techniques are difficult to carry out effectively,
for example, a backhand clear. Watching a top level performer playing the shot,
possibly from a slow-motion video, can assist you in learning how to perform
the skill effectively.
Discuss with your face partner the below topic…
Model performers to motivate you to improve
Consider what motivates you to participate in sport when you are
young
Consider when in the year do people tend to play tennis and why.
Model performers motivate you to improve
Observing top level performers can make performance look exciting
and motivate you to improve your own performance. When
observing performers of a higher standard you can see a wide range
of skills in action, motivating you to work towards performing at
their level.
Turn to Task Sheet 5 (Model Performer Movement
Analysis) page 16 in your data gathering booklet
Model performer movement analysis / observation schedule
It is not always necessary to observe a model performance to improve your
knowledge and understanding of what it means to perform a skill effectively.
You can use an observation schedule which breaks a skill down, into its three
phases of action (1. Preparation. 2. Action. 3. Recovery), and explains in words
the small movements (subroutines) that make up the skill.
By breaking the skill down you are able to learn and understand the small
movements that make up the actual skill.
You can also use the observation schedule to make comparisons between your
performance and that of the model performer. Helping you identify your
strengths and weaknesses.
