Q

Classification Type - Difficulty - Simple & Complex

A

Simple

  • Hardly any judgements needed
  • Few Decisions to be made
  • Can be taught as a whole
  • eg Foward roll

Complex

  • Many decisions to be made
  • Information needed before completing skill
  • Needs to be learnt in stages
  • eg Slip Catch

Q

Classification Type - Environment - Open & Closed

A

Open

  • Affected by the environment
  • Predominantly perceptual
  • Unpredictable environment - different pitch, opposition, the position of teammates
  • eg dribble in football

Closed

  • Not affected by the environment
  • Predominantly habitual
  • Movements follow a set pattern
  • Predictable environment
  • Usually self-paced
  • eg serve in tennis

Q

Classification Type - Pacing - Self & External

A

Self-paced

  • Performer controls the rate of execution
  • Performer is pro-active in the action
  • eg serve in tennis

Externally paced

  • Environment controls rate in which skill is executed
  • Performer is reactive in the action
  • eg a return in tennis

Q

Classification Type - Continuity - Discrete & Serial & Continous

  • eg triple jump

Continous

  • No obvious beginning and end
  • End of a cycle is the beginning of another
  • eg cycling

Q

What is DISTRIBUTED PRACTICE ?

A
  • practising with breaks
  • complex and new skills
  • gives time to recover/feedback
  • Do not do things that will lead to negative transfer

Benefits include

  • Helps when skill is continuous
  • Helps when skill is dangerous
  • Better for beginners and less motivated students HOWEVER it can lead to demotivation and lack of concentration if there is excessive recovery

Q

What is RECOGNISION SCHEMA ?

A
  • occurs during / after the skill- allows the recognision of what needs to be improved
32
Q

What are MOVEMENT OUTCOMES ?

A
  • knowledge of results - end result and comparison to intended outcome
33
Q

What is SENSORY CONSEQUENCE ?

A
  • knowledge of performance - intrinsic and extrinsic feedback
34
Q

A

HOCKEY - mid-field pass

36
Q

37
Q

42
Q

51
Q

LOW ORGANISATION SKILLS : EXAMPLE

A

TENNIS - serve

52
Q

What are the STRENGTHS of the part method ?

A
  • allows performer to make sense of the skill - achieve initial success with basic movements - gain confidence - good to use when you can see certain parts they are struggling with - Easier to teach/less overwhelming to learner
53
Q

What skills is the part method good for ?

A
  • low organisation - serial - complex (only if low organisation)
54
Q

What are the three types of the PART method (Wightman and Lintern)

A
  • fractionisation - segmentation - simplification
55
Q

What is FRACTIONISATION ?

A
  • practising the separate sub-routines of the whole skill - Allows the performer to understand the requirements - Eg. breathing in swimming
56
Q

What is SEGMENTATION ?

A

same as progressive-part method

57
Q

What is SIMPLIFICATION ?

A

reducing the difficulty of the subroutines e.g. using large sponge ball

58
Q

Give an example of the PART method

A

tennis serve = back swing before striking the ball

59
Q

What is the WHOLE method ?

A
  • skill is taught without breaking it down/ taught in its entirety - enhances kinaesthetic sense
60
Q

What are the STRENGTHS of the whole method ?

A
  • execute the skill fluently/ timing correctly - appreciate the relationship between each movement - gain kinaesthetic feel/ develop schema - easily transfer into full competitive situations
61
Q

What skills is the whole method good for ?

A

rapid or ballistic skills

62
Q

Give an example of the whole method

A

golf swing = each part interacts closely with each other

63
Q

What is the WHOLE-PART-WHOLE method ?

A
  • firstly attempts the whole skills - then broken down - then puts sub-routines together
64
Q

What are the STRENGTHS of the whole-part-whole method ?

A
  • allows athlete to understand the technique - allows performer to focus and perfect certain parts - increases success rate - more fluent
65
Q

What skills is the whole-part-whole method good for ?

A
  • low organisation - serial
66
Q

Give an example of the whole-part-whole method ?

A
  • basketball layup - break skills down into run-up and take-off
67
Q

What is the PROGRESSIVE-PART method ?

A
  • serial skills are broken down into sub-routines - each sub-routine is seen as a link of a chain - two links are then practices, then three links
68
Q

What skills is the progressive-part method good for ?

A
  • serial and complex
69
Q

Give an example of the progressive-part method

A

breaststroke = leg action and then arm action

70
Q

Give an example of distributed practice

A
  • football dribbling between cones - get feedback after doing one set
71
Q

What are the WEAKNESSES of part method?

A
  • Harder to adapt - Lack of realism - Less fluency in movement - Takes longer
72
Q

What is Part method?

A
  • skills are split up into sub-routines - fractionisation
73
Q

What are the WEAKNESSES of whole method?

A
  • Difficult to use for complex skills - Difficult for novice performers - Not ideal for dangerous skills
74
Q

What are the WEAKNESSES of the whole-part-whole method ?

A
  • takes longer - could lose kinaesthethic awareness - transfer may be difficult - timing whole skill put together could be difficult
75
Q

What are the STRENGTHS of the progressive part method ?

A
  • allows complex skills to be broken down - novice performers can achieve success - develop understanding between subroutines - transfer to whole skill is easier
76
Q

What are the WEAKNESSES of the progressive part method ?

A
  • time consuming - performer can become too focused on particular subroutines
