Merit

I placed myself at merit because

  • I was actively involved
  • Bought my gear/ was prepared for the lesson

The factors influenced that can influence participation

  • Challenge
  • Social
  • Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Challenge

It was a challenge as we had to get it from one side of the field to the other and I was at a disadvantage as I couldn’t throw it as far as some of the guys and some of the guys were a lot taller so when I was trying to guard our part of the field it was a bit more of a challenge. This influenced my participation positively as I wanted to try harder which got me more involved.

Factor 2: Social

I enjoyed the social aspect of this game as it was very chill and not to competitive which influenced me to get more involved as it wasn’t as serious so it made it more fun and a laugh with all of the people in class.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

The game was very fun so it influenced me to get more involved and put in full effort towards the game.

Communicate more with the team instead of being quiet the whole game.

Achieved

I placed myself at Achieved because

  • I was actively involved
  • Bought my gear/ was prepared for the lesson

The factors influenced that can influence participation

  • Challenge
  • Social
  • Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Challenge

It was a challenge for me to be able to do the crossfit because of the fitness side of it which affected my participation as I got tired while doing some of it which caused me to stop for a while and want to stop. It was also a challenge to be able to get an achieved which made me keep wanting to push through though to be able to pass.

Factor 2: Social

The social aspect of it put me off as the teacher had chosen to not only get two other teachers to watch us but a whole other year 12 class, this made me not want to participate to my fullest as he made us have a partner from the other class watch us the whole time we were doing it which made me feel slightly uncomfortable.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

Doing crossfit wasn’t very fun at all so it didn’t give me much motivation to do it what so ever which affected my participation as sometimes I would just stop as I would get bored from doing all of the activities.

What to do to improve future participation?

Keep going to my highest ability even if i get bored.

Not Achieved

I placed myself at Not achieved because

  • I wasn’t actively involved/ participate in much of the lesson
  • Although I did bring my gear/ was prepared for the lesson

The factors influenced that can influence participation

  • Injury
  • Social
  • Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Injury

Although I didn’t want to do it I was also injured as I have achilles tendonitis which causes me a lot of pain when doing activities such as the burpess star jumps and the running. This caused me not to participate as I didn’t want it to flare up.

Factor 2: Social

I didn’t like the social aspect of it what so ever as there was the whole class doing everything at the same time so if you didn’t finish when everyone else did they would know as you would be the only one not running. This influenced my participation immensely as I didn’t want to partake in any of the drills. Push up, sit ups etc

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

It wasn’t fun at all and there was no enjoyment doing it either, because of this I didn’t want to get involved at all as I was just bored and hating doing it so I didn’t have any motivation to do it.

What to do to improve future participation?

Partake in the activities.

The factors influenced that can influence participation

  • Challenge
  • Social
  • Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Challenge

The challenge helped me get more involved as there were multiple sports, turbo touch, Ashtons rules, frisbee, netball, soccer and basketball. This was challenging as you didn’t know what sport you would play so it helped me stay more involved.

Factor 2: Social

The game was social which influenced my participation as it mixed you up with who you would play with nearly every time. This part I did not like very much about it and made me not want to participate as much until I was with a team with one of my friends in it.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

The game was fun and enjoyable as there was a mixture of games so you wouldn’t be standing round or getting bored from one sport which is good, this made me want to participate more as I have a short attention span so doing many different sports was good as it didn’t get boring.

What to do to improve future participation?

Don’t mind whos in my team while playing just get on with it and play.

Boccer was a good challenge as it was a mixture of basketball and soccer which made it more challenging. This helped my participation as it made it more of a challenge and stopped it from being boring.

Factor 2: Social

The social aspect influenced my participation negatively as it was very social as we were just split up into two teams so I didn’t want to get as involved as I prefer it to be smaller teams.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

The game was fun and didn’t get boring as there was a lot going on, as it was soccer and basketball mixed so we were never just standing still. This helped me get more involved as it was enjoyable the whole time.

Merit

I placed myself at merit because

The factors influenced that can influence participation

  • Could go at own pace
  • Social
  • Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Could go at own pace

It was good that we could go at our pace as I’d never properly played tennis before, since we could go at our own pace we could fix the skills that we were lacking and work on it for longer while others could move on. This helped me get more involved as I wanted to get better at tennis and this allowed it to be more enjoyable as we could choose the drills we wanted to do.

Factor 2: Social

The social aspect was good as you could choose who you wanted to work with so Dhanice and I chose to go together which made it a more enjoyable as we just started to have fun while doing the drills which was good as I normally don’t really enjoy Tennis. So doing this made me want to get more into it as we started challenging each other at things.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

The game was slightly boring which affected my participation slightly as I started to off task sometimes and had to keep reminding myself to stay on task. But then we changed some of the drills to make it less boring like we started to play mini tennis which made me start to get more involved again as it was more fun.

What to do to improve future participation?

Have concentrated a little bit more with each drill to have made my improvement faster

Merit -Did the best to my ability

Factors the influenced that can influence participation

Challenge

Social

Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Challenge

Badminton was challenging for me as I’m not very coordinated with a racket, it became challenging for me to stay actively involved as I wasn’t enjoying either. When I fins that I’m not very good at a sport I genuinely just give up so it was challenging to keep playing while I sucked at it.

Factor 2: Social

The game was quite social which was good as we just went in a group of six, two verse two then switch in and out, which made it a little more enjoyable as we went with people we were friends with so it wasn’t as boring. But because of the social aspect of it and being able to switch in and out I used it to my advantage to not have to contribute as much.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

I didn’t enjoy it at all so it affected my participation negatively it I didn’t find any enjoyment at all as it was very boring, because of this I didn’t get as involved as I could have.

What to do to improve future participation?

Participate and try a little bit more even if I don’t enjoy it.

Pirates

Activity: Pirates

Physical Activity Area: Gym

Merit

I placed myself at merit because

  • I was actively involved
  • Bought my gear/ was prepared for the lesson
  • Helped set up some of the equipment

 

The factors influenced that can influence participation

  • Could go at own pace
  • Social
  • Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Could go at own pace

It was good that we could all go at our own pace as some people don’t like to participate but since it was at our own pace and others could go full out it didn’t effect the team, because of this I felt like I was more actively involved as I didn’t feel like I could get more involved as it was more individual and you could do your own thing.

Factor 2: Social

The game was very social as we had to help free our own teammate but protect the other team from getting theres which made it competitive with the other team this made it a lot easier to participate. The second round to keep making it enjoyable then we chose to tie the teacher up to the chair and both teams teamed up together to make him not be free this made it social and funny which made it easier to participate.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

Because I enjoyed the game and a lot of others were as well it made it a lot easier to get involved, since I enjoyed the game I wanted our team to win, there was also a lot going on it wasn’t just stand still we were moving the whole tim since this game was fun and enjoyable it made me participate more.

Factors the influenced that can influence participation

Challenge

Social

Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Challenge

The game was a challenge and everyone got involved in it which made it enjoyable and a challenge. It was more so challenging playing with people who hadn’t played before because the rules of the game were broken a lot and was a messy game, it was also more challenging when I got put in a position I don’t normally play.  This influenced my participation by wanting to get involved to make the game cleaner by slowing the game down a little bit to allow people to get in the right  places, and control the game a bit more.

Factor 2: Social

The game was very social which made it fun as everyone was kinda just having fun with the game and talking smack to the other teams. This made it more enjoyable and wanting to get involved as I felt like I wasn’t getting judged and was just having a good time.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

I really enjoyed the game as I play it outside of school, it being fun and me knowing how to play fairly well made it more enjoyable and made me want to get more involved.

What to do to improve future participation?

Have paid more attention and been more strict on the rules while umpiring.

Challenge

Social

Fun and enjoyment

Factor 1: Challenge

The game was a challenge as people could team up to get you and everyone was involved in which made it enjoyable and more of a challenge. Another reason to why it was challenging is the boys were faster and have more stamina and since its just open field was easy for them to catch up.  This influenced my participation by wanting to get outrun the other girls and to be one of the last ones to be tug.

Factor 2: Social

The game was very social which made it enjoyable as you could go around in a group either tagging people or running away to stay safe. This made me want to get involved more as it also started getting competitive throughout the girls in trying to be last one standing and then ganging up to get the last girl.

Factor 3: Fun & enjoyment

The game was fun and I enjoyed it which made me want to participate more in the actvity.

What to do to improve future participation?
