Impact of Instant Visual Guidance via Video Technology on the Correction of Some Offensive Skills Performance Errors in Basketball

 Various methods of instructional feedback, whether provided before, during, or immediately after performance, come in different forms, such as verbal communication, educational booklets, and video technology. Choosing the most suitable feedback method is crucial to help learners pinpoint specific motion segments contributing to errors.

 This study aimed to compare 2 feedback methods and assess their impact on correcting errors in beginners’ basketball skills. The control group received verbal correction during the performance, occasionally supplemented by educational booklets. In contrast, the experimental group received immediate visual correction using video technology right after the performance.

 A total of 80 beginner learners participated in this study, randomly divided into the control group (n = 40) and the experimental group (n = 40). The experiment spanned 8 weeks, with two sessions conducted per week.

 Positive results were observed for both feedback methods when comparing pre- and post-measurements within each group. However, upon comparing post-measurement results between the two groups, the results appeared in favor of the immediate visual correction method.

 The immediate visual correction method utilizing video technology demonstrated greater effectiveness in rectifying errors in learners’ basketball skills.
