Which term encompasses knowledge and action concepts related to skillful performance, including correct selection of what to do and correct execution of how to do it?

• A. Action Knowledge (PE)
• B. Performance Concepts (PE)
• C. Skill Execution (PE)
• D. Tactical Integration (PE)

Answer: (B)

Performance concepts in physical education address both what a learner decides to do in a given situation and how they carry it out with skill. This term captures the integration of knowledge about which action is appropriate with the execution required to perform it well, so students can make good choices and then implement them effectively. That combination is essential for assessing authentic performance in PE tasks, where success hinges on both decision-making and precise technique. Action knowledge focuses mainly on knowing possible actions without linking them to how they should be performed; skill execution emphasizes the mechanics of movement without tying those mechanics to appropriate, context-based choices; tactical integration centers on strategy and game sense but may not explicitly pair the right decision with the correct method of execution. In short, Performance concepts best describe the full spectrum of knowing what to do and how to do it to achieve skillful performance.
