Physical Ed

Use practical examples to explain the classes of skills which each method of manipulating skills is most useful for.
Whole Practice Method
This skill is presented and practiced as a whole.
This allows the learner to get a feel of the timing of the skill.
Simple and High Organisational Skills. Example = Javelin - This method would be best as this is a fast skill and cannot easily be separated into sub routines.
Other examples include Sprinting and Golf Swing
Part Practice Method
The skill is broken down into its sub routines and each one is practiced individually before being put together.
Complex and Low Organisational Skills.
Example = Swimming - This method would be best practiced as parts of a stroke e.g. leg action / arm action / breathing would be best practiced separately before being put together.
Another example includes a Tennis Serve.
Whole - Part - Whole Practice
Skill is practiced as a whole. The teacher identifies weak parts which are then practiced in sub routines and the whole skill is put back together.
Complex and Low Organisational Skills.
Example = Tennis Serve. This method would be best as the weaker parts of the routine can be sorted which will make the end result better overall.
Progressive Part Practice
Part of a skill is practiced and then linked together with other parts to form larger parts until the whole skill is together.
Complex and Low Organisational Skills.
Example = A Lay-Up in basketball. Although a slow method, this would be the best method as it allows weaknesses to be targeted and for the learner to understand the relationship of the sub routines.
2. Choose a skill from one of your practical activities and create a plan to teach it to a fellow student. Explain how and why you decided to use the methods of manipulating the skills in your plan.
Forehand Overhead Clear Shot - Badminton
This skill would be taught as a whole as it is a fast skill and cannot easily be broken down into sub routines.
