ultimate frizbee feedback form reflection

One thing I've decided I need to work on is the quality of my feedback. I do give feedback but it usually happens to be either general or incongruent. My majority of my feedback to the class consisted of "nice defense, nice pass", and even a simple good job. I did however give some specific feedback. The only cue I used was off the frisbee movement. I gave feedback to two different students and a group of four students involving movement, meaning it was specific and congruent with my cue.

transcript reflection for ultimate frizbee

The transcript assignment was to teach the class a simple task involving ultimate frisbee while being recorded. We were to listen to our audio and write down every word we said including all the "umms" and "uhhs". I assumed I would sound very confused and unsure of myself. Thankfully after hearing myself teach I was not disappointed. I had no trouble staying away from all the filler words like umm. I did say "so" a few too many times in my opinion. I also feel I need to work on not repeating words a lot of times. For example when I would tell the class to bring it in i would repeat the phrase at least twice. On the upside I felt I did a good job being loud and enthusiastic. It was especially hard to talk above my peers because they were very loud. I believe this was because it was a game-like situation and they were having fun. I also believe I did a good job providing feedback although it was usually general rather than specific.

Evaluations

After watching our evaluation DVD's i've come to realize my strengths and weaknesses as a Physical Educator. I believe my strong points are voice volume, confidence, and use of cues. I feel I need to work on being enthusiastic and animated when I explain an activity. It is important to show enthusiasm when working with students. Young students especially will not want to become involved if you dont seem excited about the task at hand. I also need to work on giving better feedback. Congruent feedback works directly with the cues you give your students. If I plan on giving my students helpful feedback it needs to be congruent with the cues I give my students to correctly perform an activity or task. I plan on working on these weaknesses in future classes as well as trying to incorporate other aspects we learned in class such as teaching by invitation, challenges, demonstration, and closure.
