Feedback and Practice Principles in Golf Instruction, Exams of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences

The role of feedback and practice principles in golf instruction. It covers topics such as the different types of feedback (negative reinforcement, punishment, intrinsic, augmented), the functions of feedback (motivation, learning, error correction), the effects of feedback frequency and timing, the use of training aids, the principles of effective practice (distributed practice, pressure practice, transfer practice), and the importance of the instructor's communication skills and lesson structure. Insights into how instructors can optimize the learning process for students of different skill levels and motivations.

    • Knowledge relevant for learning

Exam updated 100%.

  • Increase in motivation
  • Correct skill movements
  • Intrinsic/Augmented Feedback A teacher watches a student leave a ten-foot putt short and then informs her that the putt needed to be hit with more speed. What type of feedback is this an example of? - Augmented Feedback The teacher's role is to help the student improve his own ability to do what? - Understand, Detect, Correct Error A teacher shows frustration when a student performs a skill incorrectly. To avoid this response in the future, the student focuses on correcting the skill movement. What is this an example of? - Augmented Feedback in the form of Negative Reinforcement Augmented feedback that functions as positive or negative reinforcement can have the same result. (T/F) - True When a training aid is used correctly, and skill performance suffers, the concurrent KP could be directing the student's attention away from relevant feedback. (T/F) - True Augmented feedback used as punishment is most effective when the desired change is personal. (T/F) - False Research suggests that when a student has less control over the learning process, the student is more engaged. (T/F) - False Knowledge of performance feedback can improve performance without learning taking place. (T/F) - True A good reason for delivering only non-error augmented feedback is so the student will become more aware or cause and effect relationships within the swing. (T/F) - False Generally speaking, advanced players need less descriptive knowledge of performance feedback than beginning players. (T/F) - False Beginners typically benefit more from video feedback than advanced players. (T/F) - False When practicing, changing camera angles by only a few degrees between swings can be more harmful than if the player had not used video feedback. (T/F) - True What is the likely cause of a performance decline after a student has been using a training aid? - Not focusing on Intrinsic Feedback, relying too much on the aid

(T/F) - False A performance plateau indicates that the student is no longer learning. (T/F) - False Training aids should be evaluated on how well they help the teacher communicate a concept. (T/F) - False Teaching aids should be evaluated on how well they help the teacher communicate a concept. (T/F) - True What is an example of an external cue? - - Visualize hitting a fade
