SELF-ASSESSMENT OF SWIMMING TECHNIQUES IN TERMS OF NOTICEABLE KINESTHETIC IMPRESSIONS AND SELF-OBSERVATION
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2007, Vol 17, Issue 40
Abstract
[b]The purpose of the work. [/b]The aim of the paper is to specify changes in the accuracy of self-assessment of swimming techniques done by the students of the University School of Physical Education, Krakow on the base of noticeable kinesthetic impressions, self-observation and expert’s note.[b]Material and methods.[/b] Direct observation of learning and teaching swimming activities was the main research method. To assess swimming techniques, ‘Criteria Ability Test’ (according to the point system) was used. The test covered the swimming distance of 50 m using the backstroke and the crawl. The students assessed themselves twice: on the base of noticeable kinesthetic impressions (S1) and on the base of the video recording (S2). The results of the self-assessments S1 and S2 were compared to expert’s notes. 143 students, among them 48 women and 95 men were tested. The Test for t-student for independent tests was used for looking for the differences between the considered variables.[b]Results and conclusion. [/b]The results of the observation enabled to state that the self-assessment of swimming techniques should be done on the base of the self-observation of abilities (as recorded on the video), and not on the base of noticeable kinesthetic impressions. The latter method proves to be rather inaccurate, therefore it is not very useful for didactic purposes.
