GPAI assessment reflection

As used in PE117:

The fifth area to be assessed will be Tactical Awareness and Game performance (2 x 10%). Drawing on the work of Hopper (2003) and Griffin et al. (1997)[1] the game performance assessment instrument (GPAI) will be used.  A minimum of two uses of the instrument will be needed to earn marks. Students are invited to complete the GPAI as many times as they want to improve their game play and tactical awareness mark.  Students ability to reflect on the meaning of the results of the instrument in relation to their game play will be given marks out of 10.  Marks will be awarded for description of what data showed, interpretation of meaning for tactical play and skill execution and personal recommendation for improvement.  GPAI reflections will be handed in one week after completing an assessment.

The following are prompt questions to get the most from the GPAI reflection.  After examining your scores on the GPAI sheet answer the following questions.

  1. What key ideas have I learned in the course so far?

  2. What are my GPAI scores?

  3. What do the GPAI scores tell me about what I do well and what I could improve on to play against this opponent and different opponents?

  4. Based on what I am learning in the course, how could I practice to improve my game performance?

Note that your tactical assessment is not based on how well you did in a game of tennis (won or lost) but on how well your interpret your game performance scores to help you play will more tactical awareness.

Expected length of reflection is approximately 500 words.  It is recommended that you type the reflection.  GPAI assessment will be performed a minimum of 2 times on the course to score your tactical assessment.  You can repeat the GPAI assessment and reflection as many times as you like during the course to improve your tactical mark.
