A2 - Theories of Leadership

Review the different leadership theories from the Prezi (Trait, Social Learning, Interactionist) Then complete the following 20 mark question:

Some sports’ psychologists state that ‘good leaders in sport are born and not made’. Critically evaluate the trait, social learning and interactionist theories of leadership. Describe how autocratic and democratic leadership styles might affect lifestyle behaviour. [20]

This needs to be completed by Friday when I will collect your books in. Here is the

Examiners report on the question you are attempting:

Most candidates explained the leadership theories well but too many failed to evaluate these theories. Those that tried to balance the nature and nurture theories did well and also gave good practical examples to illustrate their points. Some candidates did not answer the second part of the question and could not then access the upper levels of the mark scheme. Those that did gave a good account of autocratic and democratic leadership styles. The better candidates linked these styles to behaviour related to a healthy lifestyle as required by the question. The best candidates wrote in a fluent style, used paragraphs and demonstrated purposeful planning.

AS - Persuasive communication

For the lesson on Friday.  Watch from 5.50 onwards and make suitable notes.

Apologies for not being in the lesson today, I will collect your prep in during our next lesson.

Use the link below to watch a development of freestyle in swimming.  Then, complete the document which is attached to the task on Firefly.  There should be a hard copy in the PE office.  The document is an opportunity for you to apply the theory from the course into the context of swim skill development.
Be detailed in your responses.

How to learn swimming

When you have completed the sheet for swimming, find another video from Youtube detailing the skill development from another sport and do the same again on the sheet with the blank centre.

Get into two groups.

The following slides have information on about various factors that affect how we make choices and our reaction time. Your group will be assigned one of these, please work this out between yourselves:

Hicks Law or Single Channel Hypothesis

You will all work on the Psychological Refractory Period.

Your task is to come up with a sporting or otherwise athletic demonstration of how each of these works.

At the end of the lessons you should be prepared to do a 3 minute presentation to the rest of the class explaining the factor you worked on in your pair, plus the Psychological Refractory Period.

This presentation will happen on Friday.
