Evaluating

There are two main areas of evaluating: Describing and Analysing.

Describing: What did the performer or performers do?

Analysing: What did the performer do well or badly?

You could use BOSS to help you describe performance:

B = Body: What parts are used and what are they doing?

O = Order: In what order are the movements done?

S = Shape: What shape does the body have? e.g. straight, stretched,

tucket, etc.

S = Speed: How quickly/slowly are the movements performed?

You could use PEEB-D-TOTto analyse a performance:

P = Purpose: What is the performer trying to do?

E = Effectiveness: is the performance a success?

E = External Factors: Conditions performer cant control e.g the wind

B = Body Factors: Size, height, shape, fitness factors, etc.

D = Decision making: Did the performer choose the correct skill?

T= Technique: How is the skill performed?

O = Order: Are the skill parts done in the correct order?

T= Timing: Is the skill coordinated and well timed?
