The document is a presentation discussing how to evaluate the effectiveness of a personal development plan (PDP) in volleyball. It instructs students to use the SOFITT acronym to structure their evaluation. Specifically, it focuses on evaluating whether the targets set in a PDP were effective. It provides examples of how to identify if targets were or were not effective, justify the identification with details, and explain the value of effective or ineffective targets. Students are guided to consider if their long-term and short-term targets provided motivation, direction, and a way to measure progress toward goals.

Today
Today we are going to evaluate elements of our PDP: We
will do this over numerous PPTs. This is part four.
To do this successfully we should acquire the knowledge that will
allow us to answer the following question;
Evaluate the effectiveness of your PDP in Volleyball (6)
To do this we should apply the SOFITT acronym to our answer. We
will consider each letter of SOFITT and evaluate our plan in
relation to each.
When evaluating we must provide identification in our answer,
judgement in our answer as well as value.

Lets start by discussing what we mean by Evaluating Physical Education
When you are asked to evaluate you are being asked provide your opinion
on whether something you have carried out was effective or not. To do this
successfully and gain a mark you must provide 3 parts to your answer (the
same way we would when using the PEgI structure).
Part 1 is your IDENTIFICATION. Here you must identify an element of your
plan that you are going to evaluate and state whether it was effective or
not.
Part 2 is your JUDGEMENT. This is quite similar to an example in a PEgI and
involves you providing details of the plan that you found effective or
ineffective.
Part 3 is your VALUE. This is where you explain the value this part of the
plan had or did not have on you. It is very similar to an impact in a PEgI
answer.

Next lets think about the areas we can evaluate:
In today’s lesson we will consider the principle of targets. Did we set
effective targets and did we use evidence from them effectively?
Targets – Throughout our plan we set short and long term targets. These
targets provided direction to the training as well as motivation over the
course of the PDP. These targets needed to be aspirational yet realistic.
Let us first evaluate whether or not the targets we had were effective or not.

During my plan I feel that I effectively set short and long terms targets…

NOW … think about the targets you have set in your training? Did they
provide value? Did they help you to improve?

Judgement – An area of the plan that I found effective
was that I set a long term target at the beginning of my
training. To help me achieve this target I set short term
targets each week with each short term target taking
me closer to my long term target. For example, in week
one I set a short term target of achieving a minimum of
3 out 5 successful returns in my static repetition drills
to let me measure the accuracy of my dig. When I
achieved this I moved on to something else.
How would this read for a negative?

Value (+):
Having long term targets and short term targets that I
work towards helped me because
1. The target motivated me. This motivation meant
that I always wanted to work hard and achieve. As
such high effort levels meant….
2. It gave my training direction meaning I could plan
my training to ensure I got the best out of my plan
in terms of selecting the right approaches. By
selecting the right approaches…
3. It let me measure my progress meaning week by
week I could change or adapt my focus so that I
could keep focusing on areas that were specific to
me. This let me see how close or far away from my
long term target I was…

Value (-):
Having long term targets and short term targets that I
work towards can help however I did not use them well
enough…
1. I did not refer to my success with my short
term week by week meaning when I was
planning my next steps…
2. When I was measuring my overall progress at
the end of my PDP because I did not
accurately plan short term targets it meant…
3. The targets set were not realistic/specific
leading to boredom/failure/lack of
motivation..
