Progessive Part Practice

• Progressive Part Practice Definition: parts of a skill are gradually integrated into larger blocks that come closer to the real, whole action
• Progressive Part Practice Examples:

  1. pass
  2. pass-set
  3. pass-set-hit
  4. pass-set-hit-block etc
• Progressive Part Practice is most effective for or when:

  • the task has parts that interact with one another, and adjustments may be necessary as a result of events that occurred in a previous part
  • the learner has reached the stage where linking actions in a complex skill no longer poses safety risks
• Progressive Part Practice is not recommended for or when:

  • the learner cannot yet link critical parts or actions in a complex skill, and this poses safety risks
