Skill is broken into parts and
practiced individually
A good example is a tennis serve as the
parts are good to practise as individual
parts.
Good for dangerous skills
Whole Practice
Practice the skill
as a whole
Good for high
organisational
skills that are
complex
Not very good
for dangerous
skills
Best for skills like
cycling as it can't be
split up
Part progressive
Works by A,
B, then AB C
ABC D ABCD
etc
Best for skills that
are serial like a
gymnastics routine
as it enables the
performer to easily
chain bits together
like they would have
to in real life.
Involves the chaining of skills
together to get a feel for parts
of the skill and as a whole.
Whole-Part-Whole
This is when you practice
the skill as a whole and
then break it down to
correct parts of it and
then put it back together.
Works for nearly every
skill except continuous
skills as they can't be
broken down very easily
