3. Q 2.1: PRODUCE A PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH IDENTIFIABLE TARGETS YOU THINK WILL HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR TWO DIFFERENT FACTORS IMPACTING ON PERFORMANCE. (4 MARKS) The key word here is plan – this should be an overview of what you are trying to achieve and how you intend on doing it. Targets should be specific i.e. a score in a questionnaire and not just ‘I want to improve my concentration’. SMARTER targets were used to help create your PDP – let this guide your answer too! Key info required – time frame and number of sessions, approaches to development used. At least one description / example of an approach to development required – reasons why. 2:2 mark split.

4. Q 2.2:YOU MUST RECORD AND MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS DURING YOUR DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS. DESCRIBE TWO METHODS YOU USED TO MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS AND GIVE REASONS WHY YOU CHOSE EACH METHOD. (4 MARKS) Methods could be selected from: training diary, data collection (specific), feedback (specific). Each method requires at least two reasons for why you used them. Reasons could be: ease of use, validity, reliability, repeatability, specificity, or any other appropriate feature.

7. Q 2.5: DESCRIBE TWO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT NEEDS. THESE MUST COME FROM DIFFERENT FACTORS. (4 MARKS) HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO IMPROVE THIS AREA AND HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT YOUR PERFORMANCE? 2:2 split. Your response has to be based on data collection / monitoring methods. Examples should be given. You must state how this future development need will benefit your performance. Why is it worth pursuing? More than one future development need can be identified for both factors. Try not to be vague. Simply stating ‘I need to improve my motivation as this will help me perform better’ will not suffice.
