practice Flashcards
part practice definition
skill broken into sub routines which are practised separately and put back together into the skill
e.g tennis serve
positives of part practice
-helps understanding
-good for confidence
-safer for learning dangerous skills
negatives of part practice
-transfer to whole skill may be difficult
-demotivating
-takes time
whole practice definition
skill learned in its complete form
e.g.running, cycling
positives of whole practice
-saves time
-good for high ability learners
-encourages fluency
negatives of whole practice
-too fast for some learners
-demotivating
-difficult for low ability
progressive part practice definition
the subroutines of a skill are practised separately then combined gradually into larger parts until whole skill is achieved
e.g. triple jump, cricket throw
positives of progressive part practice
-develops kinesthesis
-chance for recap
-quicker than part practice
negatives of progressive part practice
-transferring to whole skill may be difficult
-demotivating as it may take time
whole-part-whole practice definition
skill practised in its entirety then subroutines practised separately then complete skill practised again
e.g.shot putt, gymnastic routine
positives of whole-part-whole practice
-method suitable for all abilities
-allows time to focus on weak subroutines
negatives of whole-part-whole practice
-lots of information to process
-difficult for learners with low ability
massed practice definition
practice is repetitive and continuous, no rest
positives of massed practice
-good for simple skills
-good for experienced performers
helps overlearn the skill
negatives of massed practice
-can be exhausting
-boring
-increased errors and injuries
distributed practise definition
practice is in short bursts, regular rest intervals
positives of distributed practise
- good for complex skills
-time to rest and for feedback - good for high energy burst continuous skills (sprinting
negatives of distributed practise
- rest intervals may disrupt the practice
-can be hard to regain intensity after break
varied practice definition
changes regularly, different environments, different ways
positives of varied practice
-stimulates interest and motivation
-helps transfer skills
-good when the skill has already been learned
negatives of varied practice
-can be overloading
-not effective for over learning a skill
-can be confusing for learners in the cognitive phase
fixed practice definition
stays the same, environment doesnt change, repeated
positives of fixed practice
-can help perfect a skill
-helps overlearn a skill
negatives of fixed practice
-becomes boring
-does not prepare for a game situation
-can lead to overuse injuries
