Why collect data on your performance? • Collecting data on your performance is vital to establish your strengths and weaknesses in an activity. • By collecting accurate data, you can focus firmly on improving your weaknesses and you will not practice the wrong aspect of your performance. • Data collection also acts as a good method of monitoring your progress in an activity as you can complete it at the start of a programme of work / training programme and again at the end to measure improvement.
How can I ensure my data is useful? • In order for data collection to be useful it must be: • Accurate (to provide a true reflection) • Relevant (to the performer and the activity) • Reliable (consistent conditions) • Objective (non-bias) • Measurable (to enable comparison at a later date)
What types of data collection exist? • There are 2 main types of data collection: subjective data collection & objective data collection • SUBJECTIVE DATA – is data which has an element of personal opinion included. In Physical Education, this is usually data which is collected by yourself, e.g. a self analysis of your strengths and weaknesses in an activity. • Can you think why analysing your performance by yourself may be a problem? • Why do you think it is more reliable to have someone else collect data for you?
OBJECTIVE DATA – is more reliable data which is usually collected by an observer in a more controlled way, e.g. a match analysis or a recognised fitness test. If using a match analysis you could ensure the data was more reliable by playing against equal opponents (why??), playing a full match and playing several games just incase you have a bad day! When using a recognised fitness test, it is important to ensure the conditions are always the same to ensure test results are reliable.
