Skill, Feedback and Information Processing Model

Skill, Feedback and Information Processing Model

• this is just one way of how to measure how well
  or how poorly they are performing.
• There are two types of skill -
• OPEN - what you are doing may vary. It all
  depends on your environment. A goalkeepers skill
  is open, he has to stop the ball going in his
  net. The way he does this depends on how the ball
  is aimed.
• CLOSED - you do the same thing over and over
  again, in exactly the same way. The environment
  remains the same. A golfers skill is closed. The
  skill is repeated in the same way.

• FEEDBACK - is information received by a
  competitor either during or after a performance.
  Feedback can take place in a number of ways.
• Intrinsic Feedback
• Extrinsic Feedback
• Knowledge of Results (KR)

5

• INTRINSIC FEEDBACK - External information
  gathered by the performer at the time of the
  action about how they feel the performance is
  going.
• EXTRINSIC FEEDBACK Internal information
  gathered by the performer, based on what they see
  or hear, at the time of the action.
• KNOWLEDGE OF RESULTS Feedback at the end of the
  game reviewing the success or outcome of the
  activity. It can be made verbally by a coach,
  teacher or by looking at a video of the activity.
• To be effective it is important that external
  feedback is
• restricted to one or two specific comments at a
  time
• does not confuse or de-motivate the athlete
• occurs either during competition or soon
  afterwards.

Different Levels of Skill

• Advanced skills take time to learn. The way the
  skills are performed determine whether it is a
  skill of a top level performer or a novice.
• Draw a table with two lists in it.

7

• The novice may be
• inconsistent
• put in a lot of effort without producing an
  effective performance.
• Not able to perform the skill as quickly or
  effectively
• not able to adapt the skill when required simply
  because they do not have the experience to do
  this
• Lots of mistakes
• Lack confidence
• The top level may be
• high level of consistency
• appear to perform with little effort or energy
• perform quickly and effectively
• capable of adapting the skill, to meet changing
  situations.
• Confident performer

CTICE 4.TRIAL AND ERROR
9

• DEMONSTRATION AND COPYING - skills can be learned
  by copying other people such as
• a professional sports person. A coach or teacher
  may demonstrate a skill and then feedback until
  the performer has corrected the skill.
• PRACTICE - for the practice to be effective
  correct procedures must be used. Meaning the
  demonstration must be technically correct.

10

• ROLE MODELS - the role model needs to be a good
  technical role model, but a good role model
  should also promote their chosen sport in their
  conduct both on and off the field.

• TRIAL AND ERROR - means doing something until you
  happen to come across a way in which you can make
  it happen. It can cause a problem as it is
  possible to pick up bad habits.

Learning Skills Information Processing

• When learning and doing skills, you are also
  processing the information. During a competition
  or match we need to process the following
  information about the present situation.
• What is happening (input)
• How do we react (decision-making/output)
• Was the right reaction used? (Feedback)
• INPUT - at all times a performer must be aware of
  what is going on around him/her. For example, in
  tennis how fast is the ball travelling?

12

• DECISION-MAKING - A performer must make a
  decision, so for the tennis example which shot
  shall I play?
• OUTPUT - is the result of both input and
  decision-making, choosing the right shot. But
  maybe could have placed in more accurately.
• FEEDBACK - whether or not the shot was a correct
  one the player should now be thinking how they
  can improve the shot for next time.
