Cycle of analysis
Data collection
Why do we collect data on our performance levels in a factor and how do we do it?
Methods of collecting data for the four factors
There are different methods of collecting data for each of the four factors. Whichever method you choose, you need to ensure that it is appropriate and that you know its benefits and limitations.
Model performances
A model performer is someone who can perform to an almost exemplary standard in an activity. It is rare to find the same model performer for all four factors.
Feedback
Feedback is an important part of gathering data and developing performance in Higher Physical Education. Feedback can be divided into two different types: intrinsic and extrinsic.
Key planning information
After collecting data on your abilities in a particular factor, analyse the results and create a development plan that is relevant to your performance levels. This involves goal setting, training principles, and effective practice.
Approaches to developing performance
After creating a development plan, it is important to understand the approaches that can be used to develop each factor of performance.
Factors and their impact on development
The four factors (mental, emotional, social and physical) can impact on your whole performance but it is also important to focus on how these factors can impact on how your performance develops.
Recording, monitoring and evaluating performance development
Evaluating and monitoring your performance allows you to determine which approaches are working. If necessary you can adapt them to be more suitable to your development plan.
Adapting and implementing change
After recording and monitoring your performance, you should be able to adapt development sessions and reset performance goals to allow for future progression.
