Use of Feedback in Physical Education and Sports Lessons for Student Point of View

Abstract

The most important element of the education system is education itself, the process through which student behaviours are acquired. One of the most crucial and effective elements in this learning process is feedback. Feedback to students is at the centre of much research that discusses interaction between student and teacher behaviour. In physical education and sports lessons, it is particularly important for the student to be given proper feedback, because it will affect skill learning. With this in mind, the current research was conducted in order to evaluate the types and ratios of feedback teachers use in their physical education classes. A 5-point likert-type measuring instrument, which was adapted by the researcher and consisted of 35 questions, was used in the research. Test-retest value of the scale was found to be .84; Cronbach alpha internal consistency value (α) was found to be .81. In the data analysis, frequencies, percentages, and t test were used, and the significance level was determined as 0.05. The results show that in the students' evaluation, feedback is used on a large scale in physical education and sports lessons. No significant difference was found when the teachers' feedback usage rates were compared according to the gender variable of the students or the gender of the teachers (p> 0.05). According to the class variable, the difference between the scores of the 8th and 9th grade students was significantly in favour of the 8th grade students (p <0.05). Regarding whether lessons took place in a gym or not, the difference between the scores of students studying at the gym and those not studying at the gym was found to be significantly in favour of the group not studying at the gym (p <0.05).

Cooperative Learning and Students’ Motivation, Social Interactions and Attitudes: Perspectives from Two Different Educational Stages

“…Classroom frameworks like the one created through Cooperative Learning move away from competitive models where individual performance prevails over the success of the group, often excluding the less skilled or less accepted individuals. Moreover, social interaction is one of the most important factors linked to learning [58]. Therefore, Cooperative Learning can influence student's academic performance creating social bonds among groupmates.…”

Interdisciplinary Experience Using Technological Tools in Sport Science

“…These resources that enable self-regulated learning can be useful in developing aspects such as responsibility and active involvement in the training process [33,34]. In addition, these complementary materials promote communication and feedback by providing learners with the necessary information to be aware of their progress [35,36].…”

Gender Differences in the Level of Achievement of Gymnastic and Acrobatic Skills

“…In this sense, it is necessary to develop basic skills in order to later introduce more complex elements, and it is essential to control the amount and variety of gymnastic experiences in physical education classes in order to adequately learn these skills. In addition, aspects associated with students such as motivation, a predisposition towards the practice the initial level of learning skill and/or the feedback received can be decisive in the learning process [ 9 ]. In the case of interests in the practice of physical and sports activity, this is different depending on gender.…”
