What is it?◦ You probably already do

this

◦ Systematic observation of a performance

◦ You can teach students to do this with their own performance or the performance of other students

Keys◦ Don’t eat the apple in one bite

◦ Components are the key

◦ Observation is next- This is how you observe

◦ Compare (Assessment) Identify what are you looking for

Critical components or cues Observe the performance Check to see if they match

Why?◦ To identify what students know

and are able to do

What?◦ Critical components

How?◦ Checklist◦ Rating scale (numerical,

descriptive, pictorial)◦ Scoring guide or rubric◦ Feedback

Horizontal Jump

Phase Cues Action Scoring Criteria Score Prep Arms Back

Bend Knees

Loading phase – counter movement. Taps into stretch-shortening cycle, which utilizes elastic properties of muscles

Arms back with elbows parallel to ground

Knees bend to 90o

2

Action 1 Swing Arms forward and upward (Fly)

Simultaneous extension of legs. Arm swing helps start inertia moving forward

Arms move forward and upward in front of body

1

Action 2 Superman Accentuates trunk, knee, hip extension and plantar flexion

Hands shoulder width apart above head with full elbow extension

1

Follow Through

Arms reach forward Land on 2 feet

Position legs under the body in preparation for landing impact

Arms reach forward Bend knees to absorb impact

Overhand Throw for Distance

Phase Cues Action Scoring Criteria Score Prep Goose neck

“L” away Side to target

Elbow flexion is important because it decreases mass moment of inertia making the arm easy to rotate about the shoulder

Ball faces opposite direction and arm in an “L”

Front shoulder points to target

2

Action Step in opposition Chicken wing Rotate shoulders, trunk

and hips (Rotini)

Proximal to distal sequencing provides for the summation of speed from adjacent segments. This actually starts from the step and proceeds through trunk rotation, the shoulders and along the entire arm segment

Step Pull with opposite arm Rotate

3

Follow Through

Hand in opposite pocket Bow

Increasing negative acceleration distance, this increases the time over which the thrower can slow the arm down requiring less force from negative accelerating muscles

Throwing hand touches opposite knee

Bend at waist
