A Level PE - Types of Practice:
Presentation of Skills:
The following factors should be taken into consideration when finding the best practise conditions:
- The amount of info a learner has to process
- The previous experience of the performer (including level of ability)
- The performers personality and motivation levels
- The nature of the skills being learnt
- The amount of technical knowledge required
- The facilities and time available
- The size of the group
Types of Practice:
Coached must decide whether to teach the entire skill or to break it down into parts and learn each part separately, in some cases there is little/no choice
There are 9 types of practice:
- Whole Practice
- Part Practice
- Whole-Part-Whole Practice
- Progressive Part Practice
- Fixed Practice
- Varied Practice
- Massed Practice
- Distributed Practice
- Mental Rehearsal
Whole Practise:
- Skills are not broken down into sub-routines
- Generally this is best to get a ‘feel’ of the whole skill
- Skills is practiced in its entirety, from start to finish
- This pre motes fluency and understanding
Advantages:
- Performer gets to know the ‘feel’ and timing of the movement as a whole - Kinaethesis
- Learning can be quicker because learner doesn't have to learn *** to put subroutines together
- Understands the relationship between subroutines
Disadvantages:
- Unsuitable for complex skills
- When learner is in the cognitive phase they may not be able to cope with skills having high attentional demands
- Skill may need to be broken down for safety reasons
When Should Whole Practice be used?
- When the skill is continuous and can’ t be broken down into sub-routines
- High organisational and simple skills
- When a skill has a short duration and is predictable it means you can practise it as a whole skill and repeat it
- Any skill that involves little decision making
Part Practice:
- Often used when a skill is low in organisation and can be split up into sub routines
- Each part is practiced separately and then they're all joined together
- Useful when learning a complex skill as it allows for initial success before moving onto complex movements
Advantages:
- Useful if the skill is complex, due to small parts being learnt instead of a whole new skill
- Good for skills that are easily broken down
- Good for learning serial skills, due to reduced info
- Provides early success (keeps motivation high)
- Can reduce danger
- Allows coach to focus on elements of the skill
- Can help to build confidence
- Avoids info overload
Disadvantages:
- Some performers find it difficult to put the subroutines back together
- The continuity and flow of the skill is lost
- Reduces kinaesthetic awareness
- Learner looses awareness of the end product, the skill as a whole
- This can take much much longer than simply learning the whole skill in one go
When Should Part Practice be Used?
- Low organisation, serial skills or complex skills
- When a skill can be easily broken down or there is an element of danger
- When skills need to gradually be developed and adapted to different situations
Whole-Part-Whole:
- The whole skill is taught and then a…
