Evaluating Types Of Feedback

Type of Feedback	Explanation	Application
🥷🏼 Intrinsic	Intrinsic feedback is within the performer. They understand how the movement feels from feedback from the muscles, it is important so performers can spot their errors. Intrinsic feedback should be developed so the performer is not reliant on others	Used by experienced performers as the skill is well learnt and they can make amendments to their own performance based on their internal feedback E.g. When a gymnast is performing a somersault, they will be able to use internal feedback from their muscles to readjust their body to successfully perform the skill
💁🏾‍♂️ Extrinsic	Extrinsic feedback is feedback from outside the performer. Extrinsic is important as someone watching the skill can observe and explain what needs to be done to correct it	Used by less experienced performers as they are unlikely to detect their own errors E.g. When a gymnast is performing a somersault the may land falling backwards. A coach may tell them to stay tucked for longer, which will enable them to land on their feet
✨ Positive	Being told what was good about your performance or technique. This is can be motivating especially for beginners	A gymnast may be told that they had their knees straight and their toes pointed when performing a pike.
⛔ Negative	Being told what was wrong about your performance or technique. This is used by experienced performers so they can correct errors and improve technique	A football player may be told why they were out of position which led to a goal. They can correct this in the future
📝 Knowledge of Results	Focuses on whether your performancegot the result you wanted. They can focus on what needs to be done which can be applied through knowledge of performance	It is useful for beginners to see how far they are from achieving the result they want e.g.: Did you make 9 tackles during the game? Did you run 100m in 13 seconds?
🚀 Knowledge of performance	Focuses on the way you carried out the skill or technique It is useful for more advanced performers to see what needs to be done to improve technique	Did you have a high knee lift when sprinting the 100m? Did you use the correct grip when performing a backhand drive?

Sporting Examples

Intrinsic Feedback An experienced performer uses intrinsic feedback from their muscles to adjust their body position to perform the skill successfully

Negative Feedback An experienced performer may need telling what they did wrong so they can use this information to correct errors in performance or technique

Extrinsic Feedback A less experienced performer gets extrinsic feedback from their coach to explain how their performance can be improved

Knowledge of Results A beginner may use knowledge of results so they understand what needs to be done to improve performance this can be applied through knowledge

Positive Feedback A beginner gets positive feedback on how well they performed this can motivate them in future performances

Knowledge of Performance An experienced performer may use knowledge of performance so they can improve future results
