Document Summary
Descriptive vs prescriptive feedback: descriptive: practitioner simply describes the nature or the error. E. g. : you are putting to much spin on the ball : describing something, no solution, prescriptive: practitioner o ers a suggestion of how to correct the error. E. g. you need to contact the ball just left of its midline to eliminate unwanted spin : prescribing a solution. Which type to use depends on skill level of learner. Precision of augmented feedback: during the early stages of learning. Feedback can be general but still e ective: e ective if general, for early learners, teaching to skate keep your feet moving , later in the learning process when skills are being re ned: More precise information is useful, provided that the learner understands it: ask for reassurance do you understand what i mean if not re ne make more general. Frequency of augmented feedback: common myth.
