Assessment
Performers are assessed in two different activities.
Each of these activities are assessed on a one-off basis.
The performer will agree a specific context in which to complete their one-off performance events with their class teacher. This may take the form of:
- a tournament
- a single competition
- a display
The situation will be vary dependent on the activity and the types of problems the performer may face in that situation.
This will allow the performer to display a range of different performance skills, cognitive skills, and opportunities to work with others both within and across contexts.
Performance in each activity is assessed against the following criteria:
Skill repertoire (8 marks)
- what range of skills and techniques are performed?
Control and fluency (6) marks)
- how well are these skills and techniques performed?
Cognitive skills (6 marks)
- how effective are the use of problem solving and decision making skills in performance?
Tactical understanding (6 marks)
- how well are roles and responsibilities performed within team activities? In individual activities, to what extent is a game plan followed whilst considering strengths and weaknesses of the performer and their opponent?
Rules and regulations (2 marks)
- to what extent are the written and unwritten laws of the activity followed?
Controlling emotions (2 marks)
- to what extent are a range of emotional factors such as anger, fear and resilience controlled?
Each performance is therefore assessed out of 30 marks giving a total out of 60 for the performance section.
This contributes 50% to the overall award.
