Sample questions from Use of Data
Answer each one closed book first, then open the answer.
-
Collecting and presenting data
What are the strengths and weaknesses of qualitative data?
Show the answer
Qualitative data gives detail and reasons, such as why a performer lost confidence. Qualitative data is subjective and harder to compare or show on graphs. -
Collecting and presenting data
When is a line graph the best way to present data?
Show the answer
A line graph shows how something changes over time. A line graph could show a performer's heart rate before, during and after exercise. -
Interpreting data and normative comparisons
What is the range of a set of data?
Show the answer
The range is the highest value minus the lowest value. The range shows how spread out the results are. -
Interpreting data and normative comparisons
What is normative data?
Show the answer
Normative data is a set of results from a large sample of people, used as a standard for comparison. The results are grouped into ratings such as excellent, average and poor.
The 2 subtopics
One subtopic is one session. Work down the list.
| Subtopic | What it covers | Questions |
|---|---|---|
| Collecting and presenting data | Quantitative and qualitative data, how each is collected in PE, their strengths and weaknesses, and presenting results in tables, bar charts, line graphs and pie charts. | 16 |
| Interpreting data and normative comparisons | Trends and anomalies, worked means, ranges, medians, modes and percentage changes, and comparing a fitness test result against normative data. | 17 |
How the guide is worked
Answering a question from memory stores it far better than reading the answer again. The guide runs that as a fixed procedure on one subtopic at a time, about twenty minutes a session.
-
Step 1 · Closed book
Cover the answers. Work through one subtopic and write down what you can. Leave blanks where you have nothing.
-
Step 2 · Open book
Go back to the top. Read each printed answer and write it out in full, including the ones you had right.
-
Step 3 · Closed book again
Same questions, same order, from memory. The gap between pass one and pass three is the session result.
Read the full method, the return schedule and the research behind it.
