UNIT 1 - SKILL AND PERFORMANCE

Unit 2

Unit 3

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student will:

  • demonstrate a range of skills in the selected activity at the appropriate level using the correct technique
  • perform the skills in context
  • understand and perform appropriate tactics/sequences in relation to the activity
  • where appropriate, explain and experience the role of different positions
  • understand the rules in relation to the activity
  • practise correct safety procedures when participating in the activity
  • practise correct procedures for use storage and maintenance of equipment.

TEACHER GUIDELINES

Assist in the improvement of technique in an appropriate range of skills in the particular activity e.g. discrete skills for the game, dance or individual activity.

Provide the conditioned situation in which the skills together with the relevant strategies are to be performed. e.g. games: conditioned game dance/gym: sequence work

The rules and regulations are introduced to the students in a systematic way as they participate in the activity. Students should record these as they progress through the activity.

Throughout the course the students should learn to take responsibility for their own safety and that of others. Attention should be drawn to particular situations when the need arises.

Students should be required to wear appropriate clothing and use the correct equipment and learn the procedures for use, storage and maintenance of equipment.

UNIT 2 - APPLICATION TO PERSONAL PERFORMANCE

Unit 1

Unit 3

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student will be able to:

  • devise and implement basic and progressive practices that contribute to the development and acquisition of skills as appropriate.
  • demonstrate an awareness of the safety aspects of the activity
  • understand the importance of warm-up and cool-down
  • draw up a personal training schedule
  • appreciate play/performance of others through observation.

TEACHER GUIDELINES

Students should be introduced to ways that will assist them in devising different practices for their activity. This would include recording practices already learned and in small groups devising different practices. This enables them to become independent learners.

Sensitise students to the safety aspects of the activity.

Enable students to plan and design appropriate exercises/sequences for warm-up and cool-down.

Assist the students in designing a personal training programme

Allow students to observe the work of others and guide them in their recognition of the components of movement analysis, e.g. games: attacking/defending strategies; dance sequence or moves in yoga.

UNIT 3 - ORGANISATION AND OFFICIATING

Unit 1

Unit 2

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student will be able to:

·         explore the various roles in officiating or judging the performance of any activity

·         understand the rules and principles applying to the activity

·         understand the organisation and structure of the activity at local, regional and national level

·         demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of basic first aid.

TEACHER GUIDELINES

Through supervision allow students to officiate, applying the rules already learned.

Assist students to investigate the

different structures of the activities and the purposes for these structures.
