1. Monitoring & Evaluating
Higher PE

2. 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

3. 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

4. Focused Observation Schedule
Benefits
METHOD OF FEEDBACK
BENEFITS
Training Diaries
This is a permanent record that you can look back on at any time
You can make comparisons between each session you have completed to mark improvement
Having a record of your improvement can improve your motivation to train
Video Analysis
This method allows you to fast forward, rewind and watch your performance at a speed that best suits you
It is also a permanent record you can look back on
Focused Observation Schedule
This method allows you to compare your performance against a model performer
Again you can watch your performance at the speed that suits you
You again have a permanent record you can refer back to or use to make comparison

5. METHOD OF FEEDBACK BENEFIT
Teacher Feedback - Verbal
You can receive high quality feedback off someone who has a very good knowledge of the game
You can record any feedback you receive in your training diary
It is immediate. The feedback is given then and there.
Peer Feedback – Written
Permanent record
Completed by someone who is objective
Peer Feedback - Verbal
Again it is immediate
Someone is watching your performance from a distance so can see the whole picture
It is objective

6. 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

7. 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
