Soc 26 : Skill , Practice , Guidance And Feedback Flashcards
(20 cards)
What is an open skill ?
Situation is always changing - affected by the environment , involve decision making , externally paced .
Example : dribbling in football or basketball
What is a closed skill ?
Performed in a stable environment - not affected by environment , the skill is habitual , self paced
Example : free throw in basketball
What is a basic/simple skill ?
Easy , low concentration required - little information to process , few decisions to make , use in many sports
Example : side -footed pass in football / chest pass netball
What is a complex skill ?
Hard , high level of concentration - lots of information to process , decisions need to be made quickly , generally sport specific .
Example : spike in volleyball , smash in tennis
What is a high organisation skill ?
Complicated phases - complex and require large amounts of attention , need high levels of coordination , difficult to break down into stages .
Example : somersault in trampolining
What is a low organisation skill ?
Uncomplicated phases - uncomplicated and simple , can usually break the skill down into phases
Example : set shot in basketball
What is massed practice ?
This is practice until learnt - practice without taking a break , can be intense and mentally challenging .
Example : normally for athletes who are fit and motivated
What is distributed practice ?
Practiced over several sessions - plenty of rest breaks , normally for players of low ability , experience or fitness levels
What is fixed practice ?
Practiced in a single situation - practiced over and over again until perfected, closed skills are normally practiced in this way .
Example : practicing a set shot in basketball
What is variable practice ?
Practicing a skill in a variety of situations - adapt to different situations , essential for open skills , normally for players with lower ability , experience or fitness levels .
Example : weather conditions / opposition
What is guidance ?
Information to aid the learning of a skill ; can be given visually , mechanically , verbally , manually . A coach will use this to guide learners
What is visual guidance ?
Coach showing a technique or ‘perfect model’ , show a video , easy to understand but harder to show difficult skills , helps the learner visualise the skill , most effective in early stage of learning
What is verbal guidance ?
This can be hard to understand , but important for harder skills , can be provided during a performance and its ideal for open skills , effective when used with other forms of guidance , good for advanced performers
What is manual guidance ?
Using physical contact to help a performer complete a skill - gives you a feel for the movement , but not always practical , can be used with learners of all abilities , help build confidence .
What is mechanical guidance ?
Using equipment to help a performer complete a skill - very effective in the early stages of learning , helps the learner gain a kinaesthetic of a movement , helps build confidence
What is feedback ?
Information recieved before and after performance about performance - there are different types of feedback that can be given to help analyse and improve your performance
What is intrinsic feedback ?
Comes from the performer themselves - experienced performers will know when something feels right or wrong , whereas beginners may not have such experience
What is extrinsic feedback ?
Comes from an external source such as a coach or teacher - beginners will benefit greatly from extrinsic feedback as they may not have the knowledge to assess their own performance , can motivate them to improve
What is concurrent feedback ?
Provided during the performance - this feedback can be acted on immediately , communication from the sidelines by manager/coach
What is terminal feedback ?
Provided at the end of the game or performance - this feedback will be aimed at being more reflective and giving an overview of the performance
