Effect of augmented feedback on shooting performance among netball players / Nurul Aisyah Mohamad

Acquiring motor skills is essential for human life. There is dearth of research on
efficiency of knowledge of performance or knowledge of result as augmented
feedback in skill learning. The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness
of feedback between knowledge of result (KR) and knowledge of performance (KP)
on shooting performance in netball. A total of twenty (N=20) female student between
the age of. 13-17 years were selected in purposive sampling that involved two
secondary schools from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sri Jengka (N=10) and
Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Maran (N=10). They were randomly assigned into
two groups of feedbacks to represent knowledge of result and knowledge of
performance. Statistical analysis was determined using the paired sample T-test and
independent samples test. Based on the result, both types of augmented feedback were
not effective in shooting performance among netball players. However, knowledge of
performance (KP) group has shown more positive effect compared to knowledge of
result (KR) group. Hence, the finding may suggest in future study should identify
specific age group in order to provide appropriate time of giving feedback based on
their level of understanding.
