What does SMART stand for in the Eduqas approach?
Model answer
SMART stands for specific, measurable, agreed, realistic and time-phased.
- 2
Why should a goal be specific?
Model answer
A specific goal states exactly what must be achieved. Vague goals such as 'play better' give no clear direction.
- 3
Why should a goal be measurable?
Model answer
A measurable goal can be checked for progress. Progress can be measured in times, distances or scores.
- 4
Why should a goal be agreed?
Model answer
A goal agreed between performer and coach increases commitment. The performer feels ownership of the target.
- 5
Why should a goal be realistic?
Model answer
A realistic goal can be achieved with effort and the resources available. Unrealistic goals lead to failure and demotivation.
- 6
Why should a goal be time-phased?
Model answer
A time-phased goal has a deadline. Deadlines create urgency and allow progress to be reviewed.
