Monitoring & Evaluating Higher PE
Purpose Performance Development is a process where you take actions to improve a given skill. You need to reflect what you have done and consider what needs to be done next to achieve your goal. These reflections should be written down – RECORDED. This record then becomes a resource to help the monitoring and evaluation process. Each Steps: What you did How long you did it for When you did it Where you did it How it felt
Monitoring As you go along you should clearly see: What you did last What you should do next The progress you are making How to stay motivated and focused Monitoring needs to be: Regular – done after each training session Systematic – recorded logically in an organised way This allows you to: Take appropriate action on the next step Be confident that adaptations are based on judgements and not just opinions

Evaluating Evaluating relates to the judgements you make at the end of your Performance Development Programme. At this stage you may complete your recording with an overall summary about how effective you PDP was at improving your development need. This judgement will also help you plan for the future. It should include: How effective were the approaches used Was it interesting and motivating If you struggled to make progress why? Were you challenged or bored Evaluation is vital for the process to be worthwhile
Methods There are many different methods to help store the information gathered during the monitoring and evaluation phase Training diary Self reflections (journal) Questionnaires Coach feedback records Observation schedules Standardised tests League tables Ranking or classification This data can be quantitative or qualitative but it would be worthwhile using both as it means there while be an all-round accurate, detailed picture of performance
