types and methods of pracise

Question 1

part practise

Answer 1

skill is broken into subroutines, then subroutines practiced separately and then the subroutines are put all together.

Question 2

whole practice

Answer 2

not broken into subroutines skill is learned in its complete form.

Question 3

progressive part practice

Answer 3

subroutines of a skill practiced separately then combined gradually into larger parts until whole skill is achieved.

Question 4

whole-part-whole practise

Answer 4

skill practiced in its entirety then sub-routines practised separately, then complete skill practised again.

Question 5

massed practise

Answer 5

practice is repetitive and continuous, no rest intervals.

Question 6

distributed practice

Answer 6

practice is in short bursts, regular rest intervals.

Question 7

varied practice

Answer 7

changes regularly, takes place in different environments or situations, different activities are performed in different ways.

Question 8

fixed practice

Answer 8

stays the same, the environment or situation doesn’t change, practice repeated in the same environment.

Question 9

uses of part practise

Answer 9

•good for closed/low organisation skills
•good at cognitive phase
•safer for dangerous skills

Question 10

limitations of part practise

Answer 10

•limits awareness of whole skill
•can be difficult to put skill back together
•takes time

Question 11

uses of whole practise

Answer 11

•good for high ability learners
•gwt kinaesthesia of the whole skill
•saves time

Question 12

limitations of whole practice

Answer 12

•unsuitable for complex skills.
•difficult for low abilities.
•demotivating if failure is experienced.

Question 13

uses of progressive part practice

Answer 13

•transfer of subroutines is more likely.
•good for low organisation/ complex skills.
•good at the cognitive phase.

Question 14

limitations of progressive part practice

Answer 14

•unsuitable for high organisation skills.
•limited awareness of whole skill.
•may still be difficult to transfer to whole skill.

Question 15

uses of whole-part-whole practice

Answer 15

•allows focus on weak subroutines.
•good for low organisation skills.
•combines the uses of whole and part methods.

Question 16

limitations of whole-part-whole practise

Answer 16

•difficult for low abilities.
•lots of information to process.
•can be demotivating if there is repeated failure.

Question 17

uses of massed practice

Answer 17

•good at autonomous phase.
•helps to groove or over-learn the skill.
•good for simple,short duration skills.

Question 18

limitations of massed practice

Answer 18

•can lead to chronic or overuse injuries.
•can be boring or exhausting.
•errors could increase due to the repetitive and continuous nature.

Question 19

uses of distributed practice

Answer 19

•good at the cognitive phase.
•ideal for high energy continuous skills.
•good for complex and dangerous skills.

Question 20

limitations of distributed practice

Answer 20

•rest intervals may disjoint the practice.
•can be hard to regain intensity after a break.
•long or frequent breaks can be demotivating.

Question 21

uses of varied practice

Answer 21

•good at autonomous stage.
•ideal for open skills.
•stimulates interest and motivation.

Question 22

limitations of varied practice

Answer 22

•too much stimuli may cause overload.
•not effective in helping to groove or over-learn skills.
•basic skills must first be learned in fixed practice.

Question 23

uses of fixed practice

Answer 23

•good at cognitive phase
•helps to groove or over-learn the skill
•ideal for closed skills

Question 24

limitations of fixed practice

Answer 24

•does not prepare for game situations
•can lead to chronic or overuse injuries
•not suitable for open skills
