Types of Practice Flashcards
1
Q
part practice
A
- skill broken down into subroutines
- subroutines practiced separately
- subroutines put together
2
Q
strengths of part practice
A
- good for closed + low organisation skills
- good at cognitive stage
- helps understanding
- gives early success
- raises confidence and motivation
- less info to process
- safer for dangerous skills
3
Q
whole practice
A
- not broken into subroutines
- learned in its complete form
- movement attempted holistically
4
Q
strengths of whole practice
A
- good for high organisation, simple, continuous skills
- holistic view of skill
- saves time
- good for high ability/autonomous learners
- creates mental picture
- encourages fluency
5
Q
limitations of whole practice
A
- bad for complex skills
- hard for low ability/cognitive learners
- too fast for some
- demotivating if fail
6
Q
progressive part practice
A
- subroutines practiced separately
- combined gradually into larger parts until whole skill achieved
7
Q
uses for progressive part practice
A
- good for low organisation, serial, complex skills
- quicker than part w/ similar uses
- kinesthesis developed more effectively
- transfer of subroutines more likely
- give chance for recap
8
Q
limitations of progressive part practice
A
- bad for high organisation
- similar drawbacks to part practice
- limited awareness of whole skill
- limited kinaesthetic development
- transfer to whole skill may be hard
- de-motivating for high ability
- takes time
9
Q
whole-part-whole practice
A
- skill practiced in entirety
- subroutines practiced separately
- complete skill practised again
10
Q
strengths of whole-part-whole practice
A
- good for low organisation, serial, complex, open skills
- combines uses of whole and part methods
- flexible method for all abilities of learning
- entire skill practiced early
- allows focus on weak sub-routines
11
Q
limitations of whole-part-whole practice
A
- unsuitable for high organisation
- difficult with low ability/motivation learners
- lots of info to process
- potential for over-load
- de-motivating to return to subroutines
