What is Whole Practice?

• The skill is then practised as a whole, from middle to finish.

• The skill is first demonstrated and then practised as a whole, from start to finish.

• The skill is innate.

• The skill is first demonstrated and then practised in parts, from start to finish.

Select ALL advantages of Whole Practice?

• May only take a short time to perfect the movement – get lots done in training

• Kinaesthetic awareness gained and therefore the skill is likely to be fluent

• More realistic so positive transfer is more likely to occur

• Prone to fatigue

What is Whole-Part-Whole Practice?

• The skill is then practised as a whole, from middle to finish.

• The skill is first demonstrated and then practised as a whole, from start to finish.

• The skill is first demonstrated and then practised in parts, from start to finish.

Select all the advantages of Whole-Part-Whole Practice.

• Provides motivation when a long standing weakness is corrected

• Provides immediate feedback

• Fluency and integration of 

  subroutines is maintained

• Maintains Kinaesthetic awareness of the skill

What is Part Practice?

• The skill is then practised as a whole.

• The skill is first demonstrated and then practised.

• Practicing the first part of the skill then adding parts gradually.

• The skill is broken up into parts
