2.4 Methods of Guidance & feedback Flashcards
Identify the different methods of guidance
Visual
Verbal
Manual
Mechanical
Describe visual guidance and include an example
Where the performer sees the correct way to perform the skill for example a demonstration or video
A performer at which learning stage would benefit from visual guidance
Cognitive performers
Identify the advantages of visual guidance
+ Shows exactly how a performance should look
+ Helps create mental image
+ Highlights weaknesses
+ Used effectively in conjunction with verbal guidance
Identify the disadvantages of visual guidance
- Demonstration must be accurate
- Too much info can cause confusion
- Doesn’t help the performer to “gain a feel” for the movement
Describe verbal guidance and give an example of this
An explanation. Telling the performer what and how to do something
Identify the advantages of verbal guidance
+ Could be given during performance
+ Good for experienced players to gain info quickly
+ Used effectively with visual guidance
Identify the disadvantages of verbal guidance
- Info overload
- Lengthy explanations could cause lack of concentration
- Cognitive performers may not understand specific technical instructions
Describe what is meant by manual guidance and include an example
Giving physical support or physically manipulating the performers body into the correct position. For example, during a vault a coach may support a gymnasts back with the hand to assist them in traveling over the vault.
Identify the advantages of manual guidance
+ Effective for cognitive learners
+ Useful for dangerous tasks
+ Increases confidence by removing fear
+ Whole skill can be performed
+ Gain Kinaesthesis
Identify the disadvantages of manual guidance
- Performer could become too reliant on the assistance
- Could create incorrect kinaesthesis
- Bad habits
- Demotivated as they feel they are not performing the skill themselves
- Close proximity of the coach may leave the performer feeling uncomfortable
Describe what is meany by mechanical guidance and include an example
Using equipment, apparatus or a device to support the performer. For example, using a harness on a trampolinist to teach a front somersault. A swimming coach uses floats, armbands for young swimmers.
Identify the advantages of mechanical guidance
+ Effective for cognitive performers
+ Useful for dangerous skills
+ Reduces fear/anxiety
+ Whole skill is attempted/practised
+ Allows for kinaesthesis
Identify the disadvantages of mechanical guidance
- Performer may become reliant on the aid
- Could cause for incorrect kinaesthesis
- Bad habits
- Performer may become demotivated as they feel that theyre not performing the skill themselves
Identify the purpose of feedback
Reinforce correct actions
Corrects errors
Eliminates bad habits
Acts as a motivator
Builds confidence
Identify the different types of feedback
Positive feedback
Negative feedback
Extrinsic feedback
Intrinsic feedback
Knowledge of result
Knowledge of performance
What type of feedback is being described?
“Information regarding why the skill was successful/unsuccessful and identifies areas to improve”
Knowledge of performance
Explain the difference between positive and negative feedback
Positive feedback: information about what was correct to ensure that it is repeated int he future.
Negative feedback: information about what was incorrect to aim in correcting these bad habits/errors so they’re not repeated.
Explain the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic feedback
Intrinsic feedback: comes from within the performer using kinaesthesis
Extrinsic feedback: advice on what need improving coming from an outside source, such as a coach.
Explain the difference between these types of feedback: Knowledge of result and knowledge of performance
KoP: Focuses on technique rather than outcome e.g. identify areas to improve
KoR: Focuses on outcome e.g. did the shot go in/did we win the game
Knowledge of result: information regarding if the skill and outcome was successful. Forms a connection between action and outcome. Focus solely on results such as a win or the score. For example ‘did the shot go in/did we win the game’
Knowledge of performance: focuses on technique rather than outcome. Analysing the technique and quality of the skill for example analysing why the netball shot went in or not. A runner may have lost a race however their technique may have been flawless.
