The Effect of Delayed Feedback on Learning the Forward Handspring Skill on a Floor Mat for Gymnasts aged 10–12 years

Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the effect of delayed feedback after (16 minutes) from the start of the practical activity in learning the skill of the forward handspring for gymnastics players on the floor exercise mat at the ages of (10-12) years. The research problem was the difficulty of learning the skill of the forward handspring for most players at the ages of (10-12) years, so the researcher decided to use delayed feedback after (16 minutes) from the start of the practical activity to help players learn the skill. The researcher used the experimental method with a design of the control and experimental groups with a pre- and post-test. The research community was determined in gymnastics players on the floor exercise mat at the ages of (10-12) years in Maysan Governorate. The researcher chose the research sample intentionally by identifying (10 players) (5 players) who represented the experimental group and (5 players) who represented the control group. The researcher conducted homogeneity for the members of the research sample. The researcher used means of collecting information, devices and tools, and field research procedures from a survey experiment, pre-tests and the training method. The researcher concluded that giving delayed feedback after (16 minutes) from the start of the practical activity contributed to improving the skill performance of gymnasts on the floor exercise mat at the ages of (10-12 years) in the skill of the forward handspring, which led to a positive impact on learning the skill. The researcher recommended the necessity of emphasizing the need to give delayed feedback after (16 minutes) from the start of the practical activity for gymnasts on the floor exercise mat at the ages of (10-12 years) to learn the skill of the forward handspring.
