Lesson Two

Today we will…

Stages of Skill Learning

Consider the importance of a model performer.

Investigate how we can use a model performer to gather data on our performance.

Explain how we gathered specific data on our overhead clear.

Even although some of the subroutines involved in the skill maybe new, it does not mean that you are at the beginner level in badminton.

Player

During the planning stage, you find out what the skill involves – work out the subroutines.

PreparationActionRecovery

After establishing the different subroutines you make your first attempts at learning the skill

Errors are likely to be common during the planning stage. As a result of this you will need lots of advice and encouragement

SQA Intermediate 2

2006 Question 5(a)

Choose an activity and a skill or technique.

5(a) Explain the benefits of considering a model/skilled performance when learning or developing this skill or technique.

(4)

This is not an answer to the past paper question

Model performers and the improving of performance

As you attempt to learn a new activity or improve your performance, model performers can help you improve your knowledge and understanding of what it means to perform effectively. The idea is that, by seeing someone else perform to a high standard, you will get a clear picture of what it is you are striving to do.

It may be that a fellow pupil is able to play to a high standard providing you with ideas about how you can improve your performance. Able performers may need to watch a top level performer to get an idea of how to be a more effective player.

Model performers and the performance of difficult skills and techniques

In badminton, some skills and techniques are difficult to carry out effectively, for example, a backhand clear. Watching a top level performer playing the shot, possibly from a slow-motion video, can assist you in learning how to perform the skill effectively.

Model performers motivate you to improve

Observing top level performers can make performance look exciting and motivate you to improve your own performance. When observing performers of a higher standard you can see a wide range of skills in action, motivating you to work towards performing at their level.

Turn to Task Sheet 5 (Model Performer Movement Analysis) page 16 in your data gathering booklet

Model performer movement analysis / observation schedule

It is not always necessary to observe a model performance to improve your knowledge and understanding of what it means to perform a skill effectively.

You can use an observation schedule which breaks a skill down, into its three phases of action (1. Preparation. 2. Action. 3. Recovery), and explains in words the small movements (subroutines) that make up the skill.

By breaking the skill down you are able to learn and understand the small movements that make up the actual skill.

You can also use the observation schedule to make comparisons between your performance and that of the model performer. Helping you identify your strengths and weaknesses.
