Study Notes
Practice Methods
- Practice is the execution of a skill for learning.
- When planning practice, consider individual learner needs and characteristics.
- Some learners benefit from massed practice (many trials in a short time), while others benefit from distributed practice (longer rest periods between trials).
- Construct learning curves to track progress. (Refer to Figures 7.6 and 7.7 for examples).
- Include warm-up and cool-down activities in each practice session.
- Combine physical practice with imagery or mental practice. (Refer to section B(v) for more information on mental practice).
- Target learning for skill transfer and application.
- Break complex skills into manageable parts for easier learning.
- Move to simulated competitions or games once basic skills are mastered.
- Practice skills beyond initial mastery to achieve automation.
- Integrate assessments for learning in practice sessions, for example, peer observations.
- Use reflective thinking after each session to improve learning techniques.
- Use technology and equipment when appropriate to aid learning.
