Document Summary
Part-practice method: involves breaking down the skill into natural parts or segments, practicing those parts separately until learned and interacting them to perform the skill in its entirety. Permits practice on problematic components without wasting time the ones already mastered. Whole-practice method: learner practices the whole skill together in one. Depends on which method is more likely to result in greatest amount of positive transfer to performance of the whole skill. To choose between part and whole practitioner must focus on nature of the skill and capability of the learner. Nature of skill consists of 2 sub-focuses. Task complexity number of subcomponents making up the skill. Task organization degree that components f the skill are interdependent. Capability of the learner is also a factor that determines whether part or whole practice should be used. Part practice techniques can be divided into 3. Segmentation: skill is separated into parts according to spatial and temporal elements.
