Teaching Strategies to Enhance Motor Skills Learning for Groups of Students: The Effects of Verbal and Visual Feedback on Performance in Pole Vault Practice

Abstract

This paper contributes to enhancing a comparative study on a creative conduct of teaching method in physical education sessions. We search for determine the evolution of teacher representations related to the understanding of the particular practice of pole vaulting and its teaching by integrating a computer-video artifact into an educational environment. This study was done in two graduate classes of high school including (N = 44) students. These are two groups; aged between 15 and 18 (One group of students was provided with a verbal and gestural communication, while the other was asked to view an artifact video). The pole vole learning cycle consisted of 14 sessions, divided between two sessions per week. The findings were consistent with the difference between methods of teaching in line with tasks of learning. Through this experiment and lessons feedbacks, we have been able to conclude that the use of the Computer Communication Technology and precisely of the video image artifact, was source of progression of the motor learning for the large majority of the students from the all group study. This research is opened to understand and appreciate how to best design video lectures that encourage learning and developing knowledge.
