Evaluating Performance –Analyse performance and make judgements using appropriate technical terminology. This should be in relation to the range and quality of skills, and the range and effectiveness of fitness, tactics, strategies or compositional ideas. Students are expected to look at a performance or consider their own, and will be marked on their ability to identify at least one strength and one weakness, which need to be fully explained.
Strength(s) - This involves the identification of the nature/cause of the strength(s).
This section is concerned with analysing performance and making judgements – it is not sufficient to state
the strength(s) – the student needs to show the ability to explain the reasons why they are strengths in the
context of the activity.
This involves demonstrating an understanding of what makes an action/skill/technique/performance
appropriate/effective/efficient/successful and also identifying the nature/cause of/reason for the strength(s).
Weakness(es) - This involves the identification of the nature/cause of the weakness(es), including possible reason(s) for problems/faults.
Similarly this section is concerned with analysing the performance and making judgements – it is not
sufficient to state the weakness(es) – the student needs to show the ability to explain the reasons why they
are weaknesses in the context of the activity.
Students may include detail on the corrected/ideal model.
Improving Performance – Identifying what actions are needed for improvement and deciding on and prioritising areas for improvement so as to increase strength(s) and/or diminish weakness(es).
Deciding on and prioritisingthe aspect(s) of a performance/outcome to be improved (skill, technique, component of fitness, strategies, tactics, composition). / This should not just be a list of faults/problems but should be where the
student demonstrates his/her ability to identify what actions are needed
for improvement and then deciding on and prioritising area(s) for
improvement. It is not sufficient to just state a skill/technique.
Corrective measures to help improve performance. / This is where the student demonstrates their knowledge of suitable
practices/strategies/tactics/composition/fitness/techniques/skills to
improve their own or another’s performance.
Action plans to monitor improvement. How to monitor and evaluate progress towards improved quality of performance/outcome. / The student should demonstrate how they will monitor and evaluate
progress towards the improved quality of performance/outcome. They
should know what they are trying to achieve – what improvements they
will be looking for – and what stages there might be.
This may be explicit (session 1,2 3 etc) or implicit (first I will get them
to…………………… then when they can do this ……………… next etc).
