A-LEVEL PE (OCR): PAPER 2 - Types and Methods of Practice

Art24 CardsCreated 8 days ago

These flashcards explain the Part Method, a learning technique where complex skills are divided into smaller sub-routines (fractionisation) to make them easier to learn. They cover its strengths—such as improving understanding, building confidence, and achieving early success—and identify the types of skills best suited for this method, including low-organisation, serial, and some complex skills.

What is FRACTIONISATION ?

practising the separate sub-routines of the whole skill

What is SEGMENTATION ?

same as progressive-part method

What is SIMPLIFICATION ?

reducing the difficulty of the subroutines e.g. using large sponge ball

Give an example of the PART method

tennis serve = back swing before striking the ball

What is the WHOLE method ?

  • skill is taught without breaking it down

- enhances kinaesthetic sense

What are the STRENGTHS of the whole method ?


  • execute the skill fluently

- appreciate the relationship between each movement

What skills is the whole method good for ?

rapid or ballistic skills

Give an example of the whole method

golf swing = each part interacts closely with each other

What is the WHOLE-PART-WHOLE method ?

  • firstly attempts the whole skills

  • then broken down

  • then puts sub-routines together

What are the STRENGTHS of the whole-part-whole method ?


  • allows athlete to understand the technique

- also allows kinaesthetic feel

What skills is the whole-part-whole method good for ?

  • low organisation

- serial

Give an example of the whole-part-whole method ?


  • basketball layup

- break skills down into run-up and take-off

What is the PROGRESSIVE-PART method ?


  • serial skills are broken down into sub-routines

  • each sub-routine is seen as a link of a chain

  • two links are then practices, then three links


What skills is the progressive-part method good for ?


serial

Give an example of the progressive-part method

breaststroke = leg action and then arm action

  • continuous practice period

What is DISTRIBUTED practice ?

  • practising with breaks

Give an example of massed practice

  • badminton drill of drop shots

Give an example of distributed practice

- get feedback after doing one set

What is FIXED practice ?


predictable practice environment
