National 4 – Physical Education

Factors Impacting on Performance Outcomes 1Demonstrate knowledge of factors that impact on personal performance in physical activities by: 1.1Describing a method used to identify factors impacting on a performance 1.2 Describing the impact of two factors on a performance 1.3Identifying a factor that affects a performance and describing an approach to develop this 2Develop personal performance in physical activities by: 2.1 Identifying strengths and areas for development in a performance 2.2Preparing and implementing, with some support, a simple development plan to impact positively on a performance 2.3 Monitoring and recording performance development sessions 3Review the performance development process by: 3.1 Seeking feedback from others 3.2 Reviewing the effectiveness of the development plan in supporting performance development 3.3Reflecting on performance progress based on all information gathered 3.4 Identifying future development needs Evidence collected should relate to 1 activity (can be the same as performance), although learning can take place across a number of activities. National 4 – Physical Education

Added Value Outcomes 1 Prepare for and carry out a performance in a physical activity by: 1.1 Preparing mentally, emotionally, socially and physically for the performance 1.2 Selecting and applying appropriate knowledge and skills during the performance 1.3 Following rules or guidelines or protocols and accepting decisions 1.4 Using safe practice, showing etiquette and managing emotions appropriately 1.5 Carrying out roles and responsibilities appropriately during the performance Assessment Standard 1.1 requires written, oral or electronic evidence of how they prepared mentally, emotionally, socially and physically prior to the performance. Assessment Standard 1.2 requires evidence of the performance. (also 1.3 – 1.5) National 4 – Physical Education

This is a course not a qualification. It can be applied for at any time in the year. Certificates should be received approximately one month later. National 4 – Physical Education

Performance Outcomes 1 Demonstrate a comprehensive range of movement and performance skills in physical activities by: 1.1 Selecting and applying straightforward movement and performance skills, with some complex actions, displaying consistency in control and fluency 1.2 Demonstrating body and spatial awareness with clear patterns and rhythms 1.3 Working co-operatively with others 1.4 Using and applying straightforward techniques and composition or tactics safely and effectively 1.5 Making appropriate decisions and straightforward adaptations in response to a range of variables 1.6 Demonstrating consistency of movement and performance skills in a range of performance contexts. To achieve this Unit, candidates must demonstrate a range of movement and performance skills for two activities. (These outcomes are more advanced than National 4) National 5 – Physical Education

Factors Impacting on Performance Outcomes 1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of factors that impact on performance in physical activities by: 1.1 Explaining in detail two methods used to identify factors impacting on performance 1.2 Explaining in detail the impact of one positive and one negative factor on performance 1.3 Explaining two approaches to develop performance 2 Develop personal performance in physical activities by: 2.1 Describing strengths and areas for development in a performance 2.2 Preparing and implementing a personal development plan containing clearly identified development targets 2.3 Selecting and applying two approaches to impact positively on a performance 2.4 Monitoring and recording performance development sessions 3 Evaluate the performance development process by: 3.1 Seeking feedback from others 3.2 Evaluating the effectiveness of the personal development plan in supporting performance development 3.3 Evaluating progress based on all information gathered 3.4 Identifying and explaining future development needs Evidence collected should relate to 1 activity (can be the same as performance), although learning can take place across a number of activities.

Added Value Component 1 Performance Coursework - Marked out of 60 The purpose of this performance is to assess the learner’s ability to plan, prepare for, effectively perform, and evaluate personal performance in one physical activity. The context for the performance must be challenging, competitive and/or demanding. The performance will carry 60 marks (60% of the total marks available for the Course assessment). It is anticipated that the performance will have three sections, with the following proposals for mark allocations: 1 Planning and preparing (8 marks) — planning and making appropriate preparations for the performance. 2 Performing (42 marks) — selecting, applying and combining skills; making appropriate decisions and adaptations and following relevant rules, regulations and etiquette. 3 Evaluating (10 marks) — evaluate the effectiveness of the overall personal performance, including strengths and weaknesses. National 5 – Physical Education

Added Value Component 2 Performance Coursework - Marked out of 40 The purpose of this portfolio is to provide evidence of the process involved in performance development. Evidence will be collated by the learner (with support from the teacher/lecturer) on an ongoing basis during the Course. The learner can present this evidence in the form of a logbook, diary, development record or any other appropriate format. This portfolio will give learners an opportunity to demonstrate the following skills, knowledge and understanding: ♦ understanding factors that impact on performance ♦ planning, developing and implementing approaches to enhance personal performance ♦ monitoring, recording and evaluating performance development The portfolio will have 40% of the total mark.

The e-portfolio is expected to take place after 2 years of a paper exercise which might look like this. Task 1 The task for you is to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of factors that impact on personal performance in physical activities. You must show that you can: explain in detail two methods used to identify factors impacting on performance explain in detail the impact of one positive and one negative factor on performance explain two approaches to develop performance Page 14 National 5 – Physical Education Task 2 The task for you is to demonstrate that you are able to develop personal performance in physical activities. You must show that you can: describe one strength and two areas for development in a performance prepare and implement a personal development plan with identifiable targets and be observed implementing part of the development plan by the assessor select and apply two approaches to impact positively on a performance complete evidence of monitoring and recording a minimum of three performance development sessions National 5 – Physical Education

Task 3 The task for you is to demonstrate that you can evaluate the performance development process. You must show that you can: record and submit evidence of seeking two different examples of feedback from others which evaluate your performance development plan provide evidence of the evaluation of the effectiveness of your development plan in supporting their performance development provide evidence of evaluating progress based on all information gathered identify and explain two future development needs National 5 – Physical Education
