Impact of skill classification on structure of practice for learning Flashcards
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using whole practice when learning a dance routine
+ time efficient so can learn several routines for an upcoming event
+ fluency between sub-routines maintains an aesthetic dance
- new dance routine can cause info overload
- may cause fatigue which leads to errors / injury
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using whole-part-whole practice
+ weaker sub-routines can be improved
+ fluency between sub-routines is maintained
- time consuming
- cannot use with highly organised skills
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using progressive part practice
+ aids understanding of each part
+ danger is reduced
- fluency between sub-routines is hindered
- kinaesthesis not experienced until the end
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using massed practice
+ overlearns skill so they are habitual
+ motor programmes formed
- causes fatigue
- no time for feedback
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using distributed practice
+ allows time for recovery
+ coach can give feedback
- time consuming
- can cause negative transfer
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using variable practice
+ increases motivation
+ positive transfer from training to game
- time consuming
- possible info overload
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using mental practice
+ produces a clear mental image
+ reduces anxiety
- difficult for cognitive performers
- difficult if environment isn’t quiet
How does whole-part-whole practice differ from progressive part practice?
Whole-part-whole = learner attempts full skill, then each sub-routine is practised before being integrated back into the entire skill
Progressive Part = first sub-routine is taught and practised until perfected, other parts added sequentially until the whole skill can be performed
What is variable practice?
Practising skills and drills in a constantly changing environment
