Assignment Task
Case Scenario: Zac is a 15-year-old cricket player. He is a talented player and always talks of winning, every chance he can get. His sole focus is winning and being the best cricketer in his team. When he is challenged though (e.g., playing a particularly good team, or trying a new training drill that he doesn’t yet excel at), he reduced his effort, ceases trying, and makes excuses for his performance. He seems less interested in cricket altogether now and mentions often that he might not play much longer.
Rationale: Learning how to design an intervention/solution will be relevant to many students’ future careers,
including those who become PDHPE teachers or coaches and those who pursue a career in sport-related rehabilitation.
Further, this assessment requires you to use high-level evidence to justify your arguments and apply your learning
throughout the subject to a real-world problem of your choice that is aligned with your interest and future career.
The assessment encourages you to use critical inquiry, improve your persuasive communication skills, and develop audio visual skills.
Instructions: You need to plan a solution to the problem identified in Case Scenario, and develop a concise but
evidence-based and theoretically driven justification of your solution.
- First, use your evidence, learning, and knowledge from Assessment 2b to guide the development of a clear
- solution that you would implement to improve or reduce the problem previously identified in Assessment 2a.
- Prepare a detailed proposal of your solution/intervention. This needs to be brief but clear.
- Second, strategy that clearly and concisely explains and justifies your solution to the problem. You need to ensure the audience understands exactly what you are proposing on your one-page document, and use strong evidence and clear explanations of 800 words to make a compelling and persuasive case that proves your proposal will reduce the problem you outlined. The best way to ensure you develop a compelling case is to ensure you use theory to design it, and then use evidence (visual footages that could be images) in line with that theory to prove why and how it will work and visual images along with your explained solution.
