What is part practise?
Skills that are broken down easily into sub-routines then they are practised separately
What is an advantage of part practise?
More detailed understanding, focused learning, limits information overload
What are disadvantages of part practise?
Time consuming, can be boring, limits development of the entire practise
What is whole practise?
Practise that is not broken down into subroutines, the skill is learned in its complete form, movements are attempted holistically
What are disadvantages of whole practise?
Unsuitable for complex skills, can be too fast, difficult for those with low stages of learning/cognitive ability
What are advantages of whole practise?
Good for high organisation skills, saves time, encourages fluency, creates a mental picture
What is whole-part-whole practise?
The skill is practised in its entirety, the into sub-routines practised separately, then the skill is practised completely again
