This deep dive into the Theory of Performance, a framework published in the Faculty Guidebook by Pacific Crest, provides a comprehensive breakdown of how worthy accomplishments are produced through high-level performance in various learning contexts. The analysis is built upon the integrated Performance Model, which posits that performance—defined as integrating skills and knowledge to produce a valuable result—is the product of six interconnected components: identity, skills, knowledge, context, personal factors, and fixed factors. Importantly, performers control five of these areas, allowing for continuous development and growth. The sources detail that making substantial improvements to performance requires recognizing that these components co-exist and cannot be separated. Optimal performance is achieved by adhering to three axioms: engaging the Performer’s Mindset (an optimal emotional state), promoting Immersion (an enriching environment), and fostering Reflective Practice. By advancing their level of performance through this intentional approach, organizations and individuals realize tangible outcomes, including increases in quality, capability, capacity, skills, and identity, alongside a decrease in the cost and effort required to achieve results.
