2. Starter: What does this graph mean? ·At which point is this theory most useful? ·What is difficult about defining 'success'? ·How reliable do you think this theory is? ·Is achievement motivation a global theory?

3. Achievement goal theory (Duda and Roberts, 1993) Duda and Roberts believe that the performers level of motivation will differ and is dependent on the reasons for their participation, the goals set and the relative meanings of those goals. The performer may be set different types of achievement goals. What do you understand by: Outcome goal ·end result is set to judge and compare the performance of the athlete compared to others, e.g. the time taken to complete a race Task-orientated goal ·used to judge the performance of the athlete against their own standards, e.g. how close is the time to their PB?

5. Homework We have finished our first A2 topic. Now we have to get back into good study habits. This week's homework is to go back to the beginning of the chapter and: ·Make a glossary of all Key Terms. Add one of these to the VLE glossary, using your own words ·Make careful notes on all aspects of the chapter - you may be tested on this ·Complete all tasks not yet set (you might have to do some of them alone rather than in pairs) ·Read all Apply It sections and write up an Apply It for your own performance/sport ·Make a careful note of all Exam Tips, these could gain you a whole grade ·Write a mark scheme for and then answer the Revise As You Go questions Remember: these are tasks you should be doing every day. You cannot do this at the last minute, next May.
