Guidance and feedback Flashcards
What is visual guidance and give an example?
could be in the form of the demonstration or a display helping the leaner create a mental image
e.g netball coach demonstrating a correct shot on goal
What is verbal guidance and give an example?
describes the action and explains to the learner what to do and how to improve
e.g football coach explaining the correct technique when shooting
What is manual guidance and give an example?
involves a coach holding/ physically manipulating the body of a performer through a correct pattern of movement
e.g a coach physically manipulating a tennis players arm
What is mechanical guidance and give an example?
involves the use of equipment to support the learner and shape the skill
e.g a swimmer using a swim float
What are some advantages of visual guidance?
- performer finds it easy to create mental image of the skill
- encourages observational learning by drawing attention to cues
What are some disadvantages of visual guidance?
- if demo is incorrect performer could learn bad habits
- demo must be accurate and repeated
What are some advantages of verbal guidance?
- can be in the form of feedback reinforcing correct movement and identifying errors
- can hold performers attention if used correctly
What are some disadvantages of verbal guidance?
- can lead to information overload
- if guidance given incorrectly skill may not be developed effectively
What are some advantages of manual and mechanical guidance?
- encourages kinaesthesis
- gives performer a greater sense of safety
- can isolate important skill aspects to practice as subroutines
What are some disadvantages of manual and mechanical guidance?
- can be over restrictive to performer
- performer may feel lack of control
- can lead to false sense of kinaesthesis
What is intrinsic feedback?
feedback from internal proprioceptors about the feel of movement involving kinaesthesis
What is extrinsic feedback?
feedback comes from external sources often giving strategies for improvement
What is knowledge of results?
consists of feedback about the outcome such as the results
What is knowledge of performance?
consists of feedback how good your technique is
What is positive feedback?
reinforces skill learning and gives info about successful outcomes
