Introduction  to  your  sports  performance  course    

 

   The   BTEC   Sport   Performance   course   is   a  mix   of   GCSE   PE   and   Btec   First   in   Sport   that   has   been  developed   to   provide   education   and   training   for   future   sport,   leisure   and   recreation   industry  candidates  or  university  aspirants.    What  can  you  expect?    

-­‐ The  two  courses  will  run  side  by  side  as  the  content  is  similar  in  both  courses,  however  you  will  complete  coursework  for  Btec  that  will  form  your  revision  guides  for  GCSE  PE.    

-­‐ Each  btec  unit  is  assessed  via  coursework  apart  from  Unit  1    

-­‐ You  need  to  achieve  PASSES  in  ALL  btec  units  in  order  to  pass  the  course      

-­‐ You  will  be  assessed  in  four  sports  for  GCSE  PE  including  rounders,  netball,  fitness  and  a  sport  of  your  choice  that  you  are  competent  at  and  play  or  participate  in  on  a  regular  basis.  You  will  be  externally  moderated  for  your  practical  in  year  11  and  the  practical  element  is  worth  60%  of  your  final  mark.    

 -­‐ Your  GCSE  PE  exam  is  1  hour  30  minutes  exam  and  includes  multiple-­‐choice,  short-­‐answer,  

and  longer-­‐answer  questions,  with  80  marks  on  offer.  It  is  worth  40%  of  the  final  mark.      

-­‐ You  will  undertake  a  PEP  and  6  week  training  program        

-­‐ There  will  be  a  mixture  of  theory  and  practical-­‐  where  possible  theory  will  be  taught  through  practical  activities    

-­‐ Your  teacher  will  be  Mr  Barrett    

-­‐ Strict  deadlines  will  be  put  in  place  for  your  coursework  to  ensure  your  work  is  returned  in  good  time  for  improvement  

 

Our  expectations:  

-­‐ Deadlines  to  be  met  when  stated  to  allow  for  adequate  feedback  &  marking  -­‐ Full  practical  kit  to  be  worn  for  all  practical  activities  -­‐ Folders  to  be  maintained  and  purchased  by  all  pupils

Introduction:  Deconstruction  is  process  of  exploring  concepts  and  words  in  more  detail  to  reveal  the  truth  behind  something.    In  order  to  aim  for  the  higher  grades  in  GCSE,  BTEC  OR  A  LEVEL  PE  it  is  important  to  be  able  to  construct  a  good  written  answer  and  not  rely  on  short  sentences.    Use  this  simple  template  to  pull  apart  a  complex  question,  grading  criteria  or  assessment   task   to   then   construct   a   solid   answer  worthy  or   that  merit,  grade  b  or  even  higher.  

Faq’s  

Who  should  use  this?            

Anyone  studying  btec,  gcse  or  a  level  pe  

When  should  I  use  it?          

Btec-­‐   When   you   have   a   grading   criteria   or   assessment   task   that   is   at   merit   or  distinction  level  that  you  find  difficult  to  attempt.  

GCSE/A  LEVEL:  When  faced  with  a  long  answer  question  you  find  difficult  to  write.  

How  do  I  do  it?  

    Follow  the  6  steps  guide  below!  

Page 7: Sports Performance Handbook

Always  use  your  postcard!  

           

1. Underline  the  command:  What  are  the  grading/assessment/command  word  criteria  you  are  aiming  for?    

 

 

2. Circle  the  topic:  What  are  the  key  ASSESSMENT/FOCUS  WORDS      from  the  above  criteria?  

 

3. Star  the  focus  word:              

4. Mindmap  the  key  points/words/sentences:            

Page 8: Sports Performance Handbook

 5. Compare/contrast/analyse  and  get  two  sides  of  the  story  or  two  

opinions.  This  can  include  pro’s  &  cons,  advantages  &  disadvantages,  positives  or  negatives.  

   

       

           

 

6. Finally  paragraph  your  work  into  a  full  answer

Deadlines  &  disciplinary  procedures  

 

There  are  many  deadlines  throughout  the  course  and  they  are  in  place  to  ensure:  

1) Your  work  can  be  accurately  and  thoroughly  marked  by  staff  members  to  ensure  you  get  the  best  chance  of  achieving  higher  grades    

2) The  course  can  run  to  time    

 

 

We  work  on  a   ‘Three   strikes’  policy   in   the  PE  Department  at   the  College  whereby   if   you  miss  a  deadline   on   three   occasions   your   place   on   the   course  will   be   in   jeopardy   and   reviewed   by   the  senior  management  team.  

X  Detention  and  phone  call  home  

X  Letter  Home  after  School  Detention  

X  Parents  called  in  for  meeting  with  Bp,  Se  and  SLT  

Please  ensure  that  you  adhere  to  the  coursework  policy  to  ensure  your  work  is  marked  accurately  &  adequate  time  given  to  improve.

Plagiarism  

 

Plagiarism  is  the  use  of  any  work  that  is  not  your  own.  When  completing  your  pieces  of  coursework  they  must  be  YOUR  own  work.  If  not  the  piece  of  work  will  be  graded  as  a  fail  and  you  risk  the  losing  your  place  on  the  course.  

Plagiarism  in  one  subject  can  also  result  in  you  be  excluded  from  ALL  of  your  subjects  at  GCSE/BTEC.  

It  is  okay  to  use  sources  such  as  text  books  and  the  internet  to  support  you  work.  However,  if  you  do  this  you  must  give  the  author  or  the  source  of  the  work  credit  for  their  information.  

Examples  of  Plagiarism:  

Copying  sentences,  paragraphs  or  tables  out  of  an  textbook.  

Copying  and  pasting  sentences,  paragraphs  off  the  internet  and  websites.  

Copying  and  using  friends  or  colleagues  pieces  of  work  in  your  own.  

Any  form  of  Plagiarism  will  not  be  tolerated  and  your  will  FAIL  the  unit  your  parents  will  be  informed  and  your  place  on  the  course  will  be  under  jeopardy.    

Referencing  your  work:  

It  is  okay  to  use  other  sources  such  as  text,  diagrams  and  tables  in  your  work  to  support  your  findings.  When  doing  this  you  must  reference  the  source  in  your  work  and  then  create  a  reference  list  at  the  end  of  your  work  to  show  the  

source  of  the  information.      

Examples  of  Referencing  within  your  work:  

An  example  of  a  lubricated  joint  in  the  body  is  the  knee.  “Lubrication  is  provided  by  synovial  fluid  which  is  secreted  

into  the  joint  by  the  synovial  membrane.”  (Wesson  2000)  

This  example  shows  that  the  text  within  the  text  is  from  another  source  but  credit  is  given  to  Wesson  who  wrote  it  first  and  then  the  year  it  was  written  within  the  brackets.    

The  same  needs  to  be  done  when  referencing  sources  from  the  internet.  However  instead  of  the  name  of  the  other  

you  put  the  name  of  the  site.  (www.bbc.co.uk)  

Once  you  have  finished  your  piece  of  work  you  have  to  create  a  reference  list  showing  your  different  sources.    

Reference  List  

Wesson  K,  2000  Sport  and  PE:  A  complete  guide  to  advanced  level  of  study  

www.bbc.co.uk  accessed  19/6/10  

 

A  reference  list  should  be  on  a  page  of  its  own  and  show  ALL  the  sources  used  within  a  piece  of  work.

    Using  the  assessment  criteria  for  Section  2.1:  Practical  performance    

     When  you  complete  your  practical  lessons  you  will  be  continually  assessed  each  week  so  that  your  progress  can  be  tracked  and  monitored  in  accordance  with  the  grading  criteria.  The  following  points  will  help  you  and  provide  some  guidance  so  that  you  know  what  is  expected  of  you.      1)  The  basis  of  all  assessment  will  be  your  technique,  (which  underpins  the  skill  and  effectiveness  with  which  skills  are  applied  both  in  structured  practices  and  full  game  situations).    2)  In  individual  activities  the  overall  assessment  will  be  based  on  the  cumulative  principle,  reflecting  the  degree  of  difficulty  of  the  movement,  which  enables  you  to  apply  your  skill  in  the  context  of  the  activity.    3)  The  final  marks  will  depend  on  your  technique  and  effectiveness  in  applying  the  skills  when  working  under  pressure,  together  with  the  outcome  of  the  performance  (for  example,  how  fast  you  run  or  swim  a  given  distance,  or  how  well  you  perform  a  routine  in  trampolining  or  synchronized  swimming).    4)  When  assessing  skills  consideration  will  be  given  to  gender  differentials.  Whilst  the  assessment  of  technique  will  remain  the  same,  the  effectiveness  of  performance  must  be  assessed  in  a  ‘like  v  like’  situation  (for  example,  boys  should  not  play  against  girls  in  a  competitive  football  or  rugby  match,  however,  they  may  play  mixed  badminton  or  tennis).    5)  Video  and  photographic  evidence  will  be  taken  throughout  the  course  to  evidence  any  work  that  you  may  do.  Unless  your  parents  sign  the  declaration  below  and  tick  the  box  you  agree  to  be  filmed  or  photographed  for  the  purpose  of  your  course.      I  do  not  consent  for  photo  or  video  evidence  to  be  taken  of  my  son/daughter  signed:………………………………………………..

   Analysis   of   performance:   In   section   2.2   the   analysis   of   performance   requires   all   students   to  undertake  an  analysis  of  performance,  which  is  made  up  of  five  separate  components  and  must  be  based  on  one  of  your  four  sports.  Secondly  in  section  2.2.5  the  Personal  Exercise  Programme  (PEP)  Should  also  be  based  on  that  same  sport.      2.2.1   Rules,  regulations  and  terminology.  This  is  the  theory  from  unit  1  that  you  have  

learnt.    

2.2.2   Observe  and  analyse  performance    

2.2.3   Evaluate  performance    

2.2.4   Plan  strategies,  tactics  and  practices    

2.2.5   Plan  a  Personal  Exercise  Programme  (PEP)    

 You  should  be  able  to:    

1. Show  your  knowledge  and  understanding  of  the  rules,  regulations  and  terminology  of  a  sport    

2. Observe  and  analyse  performance  in  one  sport    

 3. Evaluate  performance  in  one  sport  and  recognize  strengths  and  areas  for  improvement  

 4. Plan  strategies,  tactics  and  practices  to  improve  skills  and  performance  

   

5. Plan  a  Personal  Exercise  Programme  to  improve  their  fitness  and  performance
