Methods of presenting practice Flashcards
What are the 3 methods of presenting practice?
- whole practice
- whole-part-whole
- progressive part training
What factors influence methods of presenting practice? (5)
- age of learner
- motivation of learner
- fitness of learner
- type of skill
- cognitive involvement
- stage of learning
- time available
- open/closed skill
What is progressive part training?
When the first subroutine is taught and practiced until perfected and the rest of the parts are then added sequentially until the whole skill can be performed
Whole practice skill characteristics
- fast ballistic and discrete
- highly organised
- simple skill
- autonomous
- self paced and closed
Eg/ golf swing
Positives and negatives of whole practicing
+ creates clear mental image
+ improves skill consistency and fluency between skills
+ kinaesthesis can be developed
+ time efficient
- not suitable for beginners
- can cause information overload
- can cause fatigue (lead to injury)
- cannot develop weaker skills
Whole-part-whole practice characteristics
- fast and ballistic
- complex skill
- cognitive learner
- autonomous learners
Eg/ front crawl
Positives and negatives of whole-part-whole practicing
+ kinaesthesis can be maintained
+ weak parts of the subroutines can be improved
+ confidence increases when siccess is achieved
- time consuming to isolate subroutines
- cannot be used with highly organised skill
- kinaesthesis can be negatively affected if the part is not integrated effectively
progressive part practice characteristics
- low organised
- serial
- complex
- dangerous
- cognitive learner
Eg/ triple jump
Positives and negatives of progressive part practice
+ reduces overload and fatigue
+ cofidence and motivation increases success in each part
+ focuses on one part of the skill at a time
- time consuming
- cannot be used with highly organised skills
- kinaesthesis is not fully experienced
What is grooving?
overlearning a skill by practicing to perfection
