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!

4
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? Examplesbenefits

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

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

8
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

10
Question 8

• What methods were used to monitor progress
• Same methods as at start video, obs schedule,
  feedback, scatter graph.
• Why was this importanttargets etc/progression.

11
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.

12
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
