Effect of Different Videotape Instructional Units on Undergraduate Physical Education Majors' Qualitative Analysis of Skill

Abstract

This study concerned the effects of treatment and sex of subject on the qualitative analysis of skill of undergraduate physical education majors. 29 majors in undergraduate physical education were randomly assigned to two groups, who viewed a pretest tape and a posttest tape together but were separated for instructional treatment. The instructional tapes covered throwing, catching, and striking skills and differed only in the information presented. One instructional tape showed examples of good and bad skill while the other showed only examples of good skill. Using the Group Embedded Figures Test as a covariate, a three-way (sex by treatment by tests) analysis of variance yielded a significant main effect for tests and an interaction of tests by treatment. Posttest means for both groups were superior to pretest means, and good examples gave higher means than good and bad examples. No effect was found for sex of subjects or the other interactions.

Validity and Reliability of Visual Ratings of the Vertical Jump

“…Recent research has shown a h k between qualitative analysis test scores and the perceptual style of the raters (Morrison & Reeve, 1989, 1992Morrison & Frederick, 1998). Recent research has shown a h k between qualitative analysis test scores and the perceptual style of the raters (Morrison & Reeve, 1989, 1992Morrison & Frederick, 1998).…”

“…Two of the professors spontaneously mentioned that they wanted to pause and review videotape in slow motion, indicating that they believed that it would be difficult to rate joint angles at normal speed. Recent research has shown a h k between qualitative analysis test scores and the perceptual style of the raters (Morrison & Reeve, 1989, 1992Morrison & Frederick, 1998). More research is needed into what aspects of dynamic human movement can be visually perceived as well as the validicy and reliability of those observations.…”

Accuracy of Visual Estimates of Joint Angle and Angular Velocity Using Criterion Movements

“…Other areas of research on the accuracy of visual estimates of motion have focused on kinetic (force) differences (Runeson & Frykholm, 1981;Kilani, Too, & Adrian, 1989;McGinley, Goldie, Greenwood, & Olney, 2003), perceptual style (Morrison & Reeve, 1989, 1992Morrison & Frederick, 1998;Knudson & Morrison, 20OO), experience (Knudson , 1999;Bernhardt , Matyas, & Bate, 2002;Denis, Lortie, & Bruxelles, 2002), neurological impairment (Bernhardt, Bate, & Matyas, 1998)) and the use of reference or criterion positions for rating (Rose, Heath, & Megale, 1990;Lindeman, Libkuman, King, & Krause, 2000). Visual criterion images might serve as anchors to improve the accuracy of visual ratings of movement (Lindeman, et al, 2000) much as visual or behavioral anchors improve psychometric scales (Landy & Farr, 1980).…”

Apprendre à lire le mouvement : expérimentation d’un instrument de formation

“…Ainsi, « un graphisme, une métaphore retiennent des formes et du sens qui en disent plus long parfois que la forme ellemême ou sa représentation abstraite » (Wunenburger 1997). Morrisson & Reeve (1988, 1992, Ignico (1997) Morrisson & Harrisson (1997) ont montré l'intérêt, pour l'amélioration de l'habileté de lecture des habiletés motrices, d'une approche imagée utilisant images, films et ralentis. Nous utiliserons donc ces différentes formes dans notre instrument pour faire apprendre.…”
