Data Collection

This type of data collection provides us with purely qualitative information.

• Observation Schedule
• Questionnaire
• Standardised Fitness Tests
• Pupil Interview

Finish this sentence "An unbiased observer is used in order to make sure the data collection method is carried out honestly. This is important so that...."

• The information is not biased and therefore is a true reflection of my performance. This means that the results are more accurate / valid as the unbiased observer has been honest. I can then use this data to plan a PDP as it is correct about my performance.
• The information is then more likely to be subjective.
• The observer can look back over the results time and time again with me.
• The information is correct.

What might be a limitation of using standardised fitness tests.

• There is too much for the observer to watch and therefore may miss something.
• The equipment might not be available therefore the test cannot be completely within the test protocols.
• The performer may not be honest about their feelings and therefore the results could be biased and incorrect not giving a true reflection of how they feel
• It's too time consuming and takes away valuable time for training.

This type of data collection method looks at my whole performance in the game context and can indicate the impact that CRE is having on my skill level.

• Multi - Stage Fitness test
• Time Related Observation Schedule
• Pupil Interview
• Performance Evaluation

This method is useful because it breaks down a single skill into Preparation, Action and Recover therefore you can isolate the subroutines of the technique you are having difficulties with.

• Mood Performance Wheel
• Questionnaire
• Movement Analysis
• SFT's

Why do we use a model performer?

• Allows us to see the skill carried out correctly so that we can then copy.
• It gives us Quantitative information about our performance
• It can be designed to measure consistency
• It can be designed to measure accuracy

In this method, the criteria can be changed to suit the individual needs of the performer.

• Time Related Observation Schedule
• SFT's
• Questionnaire
• Performance Evaluation

The test relies on the performer’s ability to be strict with themselves when reviewing their own emotional state, which is difficult to do if they have just completed their performance, therefore a de-motivated performer may not complete the test as reliably as a motivated performer.

• Mood Performance Wheel
• SFT's
• Pupil Interview
• Observation Schedule

What happened before the performance or how the performer is feeling on that day could impact on the results and the comments made by the performer.

• SFT's
• Pupil Interview
• Personal Reflections Diary
• Time Related Observation Schedule

By having set questions and examples, the information collected with be more concise and valid.
