Following the success of the original Skills Classification, Coaching and Practice video, here we see it updated for 2008 into four bite sized syllabus specific videos with teachers support materials, all included on one DVD.

Filmed at a leading PE Department this video uses clear explanatory graphics and practical, sports-based illustrations to demonstrate the following key criteria:

What is Skill?

Skill & ability distinguished; key characteristics of skills illustrated with sports examples.

Skills Classification

Key skill classifications made accessible with practical sports examples: open/closed, serial/continuous, self/externally paced, complex/simple high/low organised.

Training and Practice

Coaching-based examples illustrating different types of practice and their relationship to skills: varied/whole/part, massed/distributed practice.

Exam Advice and Guidance

Senior examiners from AQA and OCR giving clear advice on tackling skills questions, and guidance on the changes in the new specs.

Plus teaching resources

To complement and enhance the videos, this DVD includes suggested lesson plans, classroom activities and further reference materials. All of the supporting materials have been developed to ensure close-integration with the videos to provide a complete learning package for a particular topic.
