2.2 Structure of practise for learning Flashcards
Identify and explain the methods of presenting practise
Whole practice - performing the whole skill (in its entirety) without breaking it into subroutines.
Whole part whole practice - practicing the whole skill, identifying the weakness and practising them in isolation before integrating back into the entire skill.
Progressive part practice - first subroutine of skill is practised until perfected, then the rest are added in a sequence until the whole skill can be performed.
Explain when the methods of presenting practise are suitable to be utilised.
Whole practice - highly organised skill, simple, discrete, continuous nature of the skill, when kinaesthesis is highly important within the skill
Whole part whole - complexed and fast
Progressive part practice - low organisation, complex, dangerous
What level of performer would benefit from whole practise?
Autonomous
Identify advantages and disadvantages of an athlete partaking in whole practise
+ Development of fluent action
+ Realistic
+ Develop good habits
+ Create clear mental image
+ Kinaesthesis is developed
+ Easily transferred into a full game
- Not suitable for cognitive performers
- Information overload
- Fatigue
- Physical capability of producing full skill
What level of performer would benefit from whole part whole practise?
When a performer is cognitive and integrating individual parts. An autonomous performer could benefit from this practise as it allows the individual to concentrate on specific weaknesses.
- High organisation
Identify advantages and disadvantages of an athlete partaking in whole part whole practise
+ Kinaesthesis is maintained
+ Weak sections can be focused on and improved
+ Fluency
+ Confidence
- Kinaesthesis can be negatively effected if subroutines are not integrated adequately
- Time consuming
- Not suitable for highly organised skill
What level of performer would benefit from progressive part/chaining practise?
A cognitive performer
Identify advantages and disadvantages of an athlete partaking in progressive part practise
+ Reduces chance of info overload
+ Avoids fatigue
+ Aids understanding of each part
+ Confidence and motivation
+ Danger is reduced
- Very time consuming
- Not suitable for highly organised skills
- Fluency is negatively affected
- Kinaesthesis only experienced at the end
Give an example of when Progressive part practise may be beneficial?
The learning of a dance routine
Give examples of when whole practise may be beneficial?
- Golf swing
- Tennis serve
- Cycling
- Forward roll
Explain the difference between methods of presenting practise and the different types of practise?
Methods of presenting practise is how the training is gonna be structured (how are you going to present the skill being taught (training) to performer)
Types of practise involves how the learner is going to learn/practice the skill
Identify the different types of practise
Massed - continuous training with no rest periods
Distributed - training with periods of rest
Variable - practicing a skill in an environment that constantly changes
Mental - going over a skill in the mind without moving
In terms of the type of skill and type of performer, when would massed practice be beneficial
Massed practice when a skill is
- discrete
- closed
- self paced
- simple
Massed practice when a performer is:
- motivated
- autonomous
- fit
In terms of the type of skill and type of performer, when would distributed practise be beneficial?
Distributed practice when a skill is:
- continuous
- complex
- serial
- low organisation
- externally paced
- open
Distributed practice when a performer is:
- cognitive
- unfit
- lacking motivation
In terms of the type of skill and type of performer, when would variable practise be beneficial?
Variable practice when a skill is:
- open
- externally paced
- complexed
Variable practice when a performer is:
- cognitive
- lacking motivation
