It seems uncontroversial that providing feedback after a test, in the form of the correct answer, enhances learning. In real-world educational situations, however, the time available for learning is often constrained-and feedback takes time. We report an experiment in which total time for learning was fixed, thereby creating a trade-off between spending time receiving feedback and spending time...

Background. Several researchers have studied the effects of type of feedback on learning motor skills, but there are few studies on the interaction between personality traits and the type of feedback. Objectives. This study aimed at investigating the effect of type of feedback on intrinsic motivation and learning volleyball jump serve in students with neuroticism. Methods. A total of 59 femal...

Learners are often reported not to be motivated enough to attend to teacher feedback. Teachers also  tend  to  grade  learners’  writing  samples  when  providing  them  with  corrective  feedback though  they  know  it  may  divert  their  attention  away  from  teacher  feedback.  However,  not grading learner writings does not seem to be an option due to both learners’ demands for it and ins...

the aim of this study was to determine the probable relationship of failure and success with self-efficacy expectations in learning shooting skill. the subjects were 63 physical education students of urmia university who were assigned to two experimental and one control group. the subjects received training in air-rifle shooting for one day and practiced it for three days. at the end of each pr...

ABSTRACT- Agricultural extension agents should provide dry land producers with appropriate education to make them more interested in learning about water use optimization. Therefore, it is recommended to accompany education with art. In this regard, a study, using the randomized experimental research design, was carried out among dry land grape producers in Herayjan village, Southwest Iran, usi...

We report the results of a randomized controlled evaluation of the effectiveness of pedagogical agents as providers of affective feedback. These digital learning companions were embedded in an intelligent tutoring system for mathematics, and were used by approximately one hundred students in two public high schools. Students in the control group did not receive the learning companions. Results ...

When we learn a novel task, the motor system needs to acquire both feedforward and feedback control. Currently, little is known about how the learning of these two mechanisms relate to each other. In the present study, we tested whether feedforward and feedback control need to be learned separately, or whether they are learned as common mechanism when a new control policy is acquired. Participa...
