7. Factors Impacting on Performance Unit You will need to complete a workbook with 2 outcomes in order to pass this unit You will need to complete a workbook with 2 outcomes in order to pass this unit You will be given one reassessment if you do not pass first time You will be given one reassessment if you do not pass first time You will complete this assessment on an activity of your choice You will complete this assessment on an activity of your choice

Factors Impacting on Performance Unit Outcome 2 The learner will: Evaluate the process of personal performance development by: 2.1 Producing a personal development plan that sets appropriate development targets 2.2 Selecting methods to record and monitor development 2.3 Implementing the development plan 2.4 Evaluating the effectiveness of the development plan and the methods used to monitor development 2.5 Identifying and justifying decisions relating to future personal development needs

10. Course Award If you pass both units you can gain a course award for PE at higher level If you pass both units you can gain a course award for PE at higher level There are 2 parts to the course award: Performance and Exam There are 2 parts to the course award: Performance and Exam Performance is worth 60 marks Performance is worth 60 marks Exam is worth 40 marks Exam is worth 40 marks

11. Course Award Performance This performance has three Sections: This performance has three Sections: Section 1, titled ‘Planning and preparation’ will have 8 marks Section 1, titled ‘Planning and preparation’ will have 8 marks Section 2, titled ‘Single performance’ will have 40 marks Section 2, titled ‘Single performance’ will have 40 marks Section 3, titled ‘Evaluation’ will have 12 marks Section 3, titled ‘Evaluation’ will have 12 marks

12. Course Award - Performance Section 1: Planning and preparation This Section should be completed over a period of time. Candidates must have sufficient time to identify their challenges and prepare for the single performance. Should the single performance need to be changed, sufficient time must be allocated again for the challenges and preparation to be reviewed and amended, as necessary. Evidence which meets the requirements of this Section is unlikely to exceed one A4 page or equivalent. There are no restrictions on the resources to which candidates may have access to complete Section 1.

13. Course Award - Performance Section 2: Single performance The single performance has to be of sufficient duration to allow candidates to demonstrate the required skills. ‘Sufficient duration’ will be whatever the norm is for the physical activity. For example, in some activities this would be a set period of play. In others, such as field events, it would be the number of attempts normally given, with decisions being taken and acted on over the duration of these attempts within the single performance.

14. Course Award - Performance Section 3: Evaluation The evaluation should be completed by candidates as soon as possible after completing the single performance. This need not be immediately after the event ends. Evidence which meets the requirements of this Section is unlikely to exceed one A4 page, or equivalent. There are no restrictions to the time required to complete the evaluation or to the resources to which candidates may have access to complete Section 3.

15. Course Award – Exam  This will be assessed using a question paper  The exam will be 1hour 30 min  The question paper will have 40 marks

16. Course Award – Exam The question paper will have two sections: ♦ Section 1 will have three questions. These questions are likely to be made up of two parts. It is proposed that questions in this section will assess both acquired and applied knowledge and understanding in solving performance issues ♦ Section 2 will have one question, which will be based on a scenario. This question is likely to be related to the performance development process
