2+Reflective+Practitioner

Summer Work
The Reflective Practitioner is a very personal unit. You have been asked to address the pass tasks and also complete a learning task.


 * Use the [|online planner] to set clear deadlines for these tasks.**

Email your first draft of 2.1 and 2.2 to stillk@tauntons.ac.uk by no later than Monday the 6th August.
2.1: **Assess** current performance in a chosen sport



If you are able to use the workbook, you are more than welcome to complete this task. You may find that by completing a profile you will be able to develop your weaknesses during preseason and the early part of the season.

Use the discussion tab to communicate with your classmate if you hit a road block.

2.2: **Explore** targets for future performance **in a chosen sport**

include page="HTML_div_pullquoteleft_open"Summer Task: Listen to Read or listen to Michael Johnson autobiography ‘Slaying the Dragon.' Or Lance Armstrong 'Its Not About the Bike.' Select a minimum of 10 quotes (2 for each category) from either book to support your explanation.include page="HTML_div_close"

The Armstrong books can be found on the I Drive as pdf files.

 * Improves self-confidence** **–** What is the impact of Michael Johnson training regime? How did Lance maintain his confidence during his battle with cancer and post cancer?


 * Enhances motivation** – To what, in part, does Michael Johnson accredit his success? What are his motivations. How did he deal with the recurrent injuries. What motivated Lance after during his battle with cancer and what motivated him to race after?

 * Encourages persistence** – Assess how Michael Johnson dealt with significant setbacks he expereinced in Barcelona. What role did Lance assume during and post cancer?

One way to edit the audio books is to create your own pod cast. **Its very simple**, in fact it is just a matter of cut and paste. You will need to down load a FREE software but all the instructions are here [|Podcast]. This task will then fulfil the M2 criteria. Any students want to give it a try should wiki mail me and we will put together a working group.

Chris, this is just amazing. I really mean it. Just first class. There are one or two points you make that do not follow through with the clips you use, plus in one or two places the audio in the back ground in a little loud.
 * Distinction**

The presentation starts with a strong clip. With thoughtful explanation. You then construct a strong link to goal setting. You make excellent use of Michaels commentary, well done. I think you may have listened to your clips before stitching them back together. A clever use of questions. To target the highest grade you would have needed to make more references to goal setting criteria. 1195138892
 * Merit**

media type="file" key="3 Michael Johnson Slaying the Dragon3.mp3"1194014232 Good opening Liam. One or technology issues, but a really good effort. I thought you may have picked up on his 'commitment and dedication' and how this impacts on his goals. You need to assess the his comments and show how this impacts on his performance rather than merely repeat the content. The second half of the podcast is better than the first, you make more significant comments and have stronger links to a range of psychological terminology. In addition you needed more comment from you, and less audio from the book. (Listen to Ryans commentary)
 * Merit**

What a great opening, what great commentary. Very slick editing! Love the MOT analogy. One or two editing errors (1.25) but thats part of the learning process. You make a strong link to the SMARTR acronym. Well done. Love the 'pearls' quote - what a wonderful inclusion. (perhaps a little long, but what would you leave out?) The podcast is very strong but towards the end the audio out weighs you contribution. I think the first half was more powerful than the second half. Good work.

Nathan, this is not a sufficiently deep enough assessment of Johnson's life achievements, using goal setting. Its only 2 mins long and includes almost all direct quote from the audio. There is much more to goal setting than just confidence.
 * media type="file" key="1 Michael Johnson PODXC.mp3"1194018839**

A strong opening, I like you comments, but perhaps it could have been more slick with a little scripting and rehearsal. I like the way you see goal setting across different settings. After your comments about working through a series of points, you seem to lose your way a little. As you "ad-lib" you forget to focus on the task - examining goal setting. You have a good balance between audio and comment. (I wish you have taken more time and scripted your thoughts). Q/A before I can award the grade.

Stuart you make many good comments and you have definitely tried to show the link to goal setting. You have a good blend of commentary and quote. You might need to look at the editing. **Merit**

Lawro – this was worth the wait. First the production, I like the combination of images, quotes and your commentary. The blend of these three aspects is first class. Your selections are excellent, you have certainly listened and read the book thoroughly. You highlight the foundations of his achievements and connect prior psychology learning such as motivation, well done.. I think, considering the significant technical barriers you overcome, this is a commendable effort. I can even see how you treid to link the images to the audio, well done. **Distinction** 1194306401


 * 2.3:** Produce an effective **performance plan taking account of barriers to achievement.

Who said it?** **Lance Armstrong, Muhammed Ali, Joe Simpson, Michael Johnson, Jonny Wilkinson and which one is a contingency procedure, or PLAN B.**

media type="custom" key="228067"


 * 2.4:** **Monitor and evaluate** performance.

P4 is essentially monitoring and assessing progress. You need to give yourself at least 4 weeks to complete that process.
