Video analysis: Athletics

Summary of task

Students participated in a range of athletics events and were provided with instruction on the key performance components of each athletic skill.

Students were asked to identify one skill to perform, evaluate and refine. Students were videoed performing the skill and then viewed the video footage and analysed their performance. They were also provided with feedback from their teacher and peers. Students were then asked to perform and have the skill videoed a second time. Students created a video of their performance and identified the refinements that were made to their skill performance and what they could continue to work on to improve.

This assessment task relates to the focus area: games and sports.
