List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Consolidate understanding of anatomy and anatomical structures | 1.1 Discuss with relevant personnel how an understanding of anatomy can contribute to developing safe dance techniques and movement skills 1.2 Use a wide range of anatomical terminology relevant to context 1.3 Identify how anatomical structures respond to physical activity 1.4 Apply a sound understanding of injury-avoidance techniques to dance and movement activities |
2. Make connections between anatomy principles and own performance technique or teaching practice | 2.1 Assess ways in which knowledge of anatomy may be used, adapted or challenged in relation to own performance technique or teaching practice 2.2 Discuss with relevant personnel how own technique or teaching practice can be improved by applying a knowledge of nutritional principles 2.3 Distil key themes in knowledge of anatomy to identify implications for development of own teaching practice 2.4 In consultation with relevant personnel adjust own physical conditioning program and approach to development of technique or teaching practice as required |
3. Maintain and update knowledge of anatomy and nutrition principles | 3.1 Identify and use opportunities to update and expand own knowledge of anatomy and nutrition 3.2 Monitor response to changes made to own performance practice or teaching methodology 3.3 Continue to adjust own practice to optimise results |
Evidence of the ability to:
gather information about anatomy and nutrition principles to improve own practice
engage in informed discussions about safe dance practice
apply knowledge of the human skeletal and muscular systems to enhance safe dance practice
maintain currency of knowledge of anatomy and nutrition and its application to safe dance practice.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must:
describe sources of information about anatomy and nutrition in relation to safe dance practice
demonstrate well-developed knowledge of:
systems of the body
main muscles of the body
bone structure properties
alignment principles
healthy eating practices
relationship between anatomical structures and dance functions
how skeletal muscle develops, grows and repairs itself.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
project or work activities that allow candidates to expand their knowledge of anatomy and nutrition principles.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
