(June 2022) 2.At a local school, teachers took part in Active Lifestyle Week to encourage
students to become more active. The week involved daily staff netball matches during
breaktimes and a step count challenge. Two of the teachers were talking at the end of the week.
Miss Honey said, "That was such a great week! I felt proud to win the staff step count challenge
and receive the medal in assembly and demonstrate the joy of sport. My students loved watching
us compete, I really think it will inspire them to be more active themselves!" Mrs Wilson replied,
"It's alright for you, you're young and the students like you. My students were so embarrassed to
see me tripping over in netball. I think I may have put them off sport forever!"
Apart from mediational processes, use your knowledge of social learning theory to explain Miss
Honey's and Mrs Wilson's comments. [6 marks] - with answers:Possible content (Banded Q):
• observational learning - both teachers' comments suggest that they believe their behaviour will
influence their students' behaviour, eg, Miss Honey says, "I think it will inspire them to be more
active themselves!".
• imitation - Mrs Wilson does not feel students will want to imitate her - "I think I may have put
them off sport forever!", whereas Miss Honey feels students will want to imitate her - "I really
think it will inspire them to be more active themselves!"
• modelling - the teachers will act as role models for their students as they have higher status in
school
, • identification - students are more likely to identify with Miss Honey (than Mrs Wilson) as Mrs
Wilson said to Miss Honey, "you're young and the students like you".
• vicarious reinforcement - when students see Miss Honey rewarded for adopting a more active
lifestyle, eg, Miss Honey says, "I felt proud to win the staff step count challenge and receive the
medal in assembly". When students see Mrs Wilson "tripping over" in netball they will not want
to imitate her and so will not adopt a more active lifestyle.
(June 2022) 3. Whether or not students learn to be more active box could depend on mediational
processes. Explain how mediational processes might be involved in the students becoming more
active. [4 marks] - with answers:Possible content:
• attention - students will notice their teachers demonstrating a more active lifestyle, eg
competing in staff netball matches during breaktime/Miss Honey receiving the medal for the step
count challenge in assembly/Mrs Wilson falling over, etc
• retention - students' memories will be strengthened through seeing repetition of the activities,
eg daily netball matches and/or emotional/funny event, eg Mrs Wilson tripping over in netball
• reproduction - the active behaviours being modelled can be reproduced by the students, eg step
count challenge is a simple activity that does not require inaccessible equipment/fitness to be
able to perform
• motivation - students are more likely to adopt the demonstrated active lifestyle if the perceived
rewards (eg winning the st
(June 2022) 7. Describe the divisions of the nervous system box . [6 marks] - with
answers:Possible content:
• the nervous system is divided into the central and peripheral nervous systems
• the CNS comprises the brain and spinal cord
• the peripheral nervous system is further divided into the somatic nervous system and the
autonomic nervous system (ANS)
• the somatic nervous system consists of sensory and motor neurons to carry sensory and motor
information to and from the CNS and also enables reflex actions
• the ANS acts largely unconsciously/involuntary
• the ANS is divided into the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic
nervous system (PNS)
• the SNS prepares us for flight or fight
• the PNS balances the sympathetic nervous system providing 'rest and digest' functions.
