Y12 - Monday 18th November

Apologies for not being in your lesson today.  Will be there on Wednesday and will work through the assessment you sat last week.

For todays lesson:
Collect the 4x4 grids you completed last Monday, reflect on the feedback on them.
Work through the A3 4x4 grid (to be found on my desk) as a group.  Am particularly interested in:

  • Justification of the methods of training chosen, linked to the continuums.
  • Detail in the explanation of how a theory of learning would impact how the skill is learnt.

Take the A3 comic strip - complete in a diagrammatical comic book style, the process someone would go through to learn a forward somersault.  Consider the methods of training you would use and how your knowledge of a suitable learning theory would impact how it is delivered.

Y12 - Theories of Learning





  1. Recall five key words or phrases you would use to explain each learning theory in an exam answer. Give an explanation for each key word or phrase.
  2. Apply each theory to the learning of a skill from your chosen sport.
  3. How might each learning theory be used to encourage a balanced, active and healthy lifestyle? For example, how might you use each theory to teach someone to eat healthily?
