A Level Physical Education

Transcription

1 A Level Physical Education Why study A Level PE? A Level PE is for those students who enjoy and play or coach sport outside of school on a regular basis. The nature of the course allows you to explore the Physiology, Psychology and Sociology of the performance athlete and can lead to numerous career opportunities from physiotherapy to sports journalism. Qualification Codes AS Qualification H451 & H452 GCE Qualification H453 & H454 Specification available on OCR website: Entry Requirements We want students who participate in sport outside of school to at least club on a regular basis and have a real interest and enthusiasm for sport and the performance athlete. Students should gain a grade B or above at Science GCSE. Additionally, it is hugely advantageous to have studied GCSE PE; however, this can be discussed on an individual basis. Opportunities at Hayesfield Mixed Sixth Form Extra-curricular programme Fixtures Leadership opportunities Sports Council House Events Trips & visits (Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award)

2 The Course Overview, Examination and Specification As you will be aware, AS assessments no longer contribute to your full GCE (A2) grade. If you chose to only take PE to AS standard, this will be worth 40% of a full GCE (A2). Advance Subsidiary Level (AS) You will have three components to complete at AS Level, two theory components (01 & 02) and one practical component (03). H155 Theory Unit (70% AS Grade) This unit is worth 70% of your AS marks. It consists of two examinations, paper 01 (physiological factors affecting performance) and paper 02 (psychological and socio-cultural themes in physical education). These two papers will cover the following three areas: Anatomy and physiology Acquiring movement skills Socio-cultural studies H155 NEA Unit (30% AS Grade) This component (03) is entitled non-examined assessment and involves selecting one practical activity which you can be assessed in either as a coach or performer. You will be assessed at AS for your skills in relation to your chosen sport and this assessment will be worth 15% of your full AS qualification. In addition to your practical assessments, students must complete a synoptic talk (EAPI) on which they will reflect upon and plan for improving a performer in their chosen activity. This assessment is worth 15% of your full AS qualification. Activities available for assessment include: Boxing Dance Kayaking Squash Football Diving Lacrosse Swimming Athletics Gaelic Football Netball Table Tennis Badminton Golf Rock Climbing Tennis Baseball Gymnastics Rowing Trampolining Basketball Handball Rugby Volleyball Cricket Hockey Sculling Canoeing Equestrian Skiing Cycling Hurling Snowboarding

3 GCE (Full A2 Qualification) You will have four components to complete at GCE Level, three theory components (01, 02 & 03) and one practical component (03). H555 Theory Unit (70% GCE Grade) This unit is worth 70% of your GCE marks. It consists of three examinations, paper 01 (physiological factors affecting performance), paper 02 psychological factors affecting performance and paper 03 (socio-cultural issues in physical activity and sport). These two papers will cover the following three areas: Anatomy and physiology Acquiring movement skills Socio-cultural studies H555 NEA Unit (30% AS Grade) This component (03) is entitled non-examined assessment and involves selecting one practical activity which you can be assessed in either as a coach or performer. You will be assessed at GCE for your skills and competitive game play in relation to your chosen sport and this assessment will be worth 15% of your full AS qualification. In addition to your practical assessments, students must complete a synoptic talk (EAPI) on which they will reflect upon and plan for improving a performer in their chosen activity. This assessment is worth 15% of your full AS qualification. Activities available for assessment include: Boxing Dance Kayaking Squash Football Diving Lacrosse Swimming Athletics Gaelic Football Netball Table Tennis Badminton Golf Rock Climbing Tennis Baseball Gymnastics Rowing Trampolining Basketball Handball Rugby Volleyball Cricket Hockey Sculling Canoeing Equestrian Skiing Cycling Hurling Snowboarding At GCE standard, students should be demonstrating competitive skills across a developmental phase of months leading up to external moderation and should keep video evidence and a competitive log of their performances.
